'We just want to go home': Lorry drivers stuck in Dover fear they will miss Christmas
Telegraph, 22 Dec 2020
More than 1,500 hauliers are stuck in Kent just days before Christmas due to the French border closure.
"I'm tired, I'm disappointed. We just want to go home", one of the lorry drivers told the media, as they face the prospect of spending Christmas waiting for the borders to reopen.
France has demanded that all lorry drivers travelling across the border have coronavirus tests before they are allowed onto the continent as ministers try to overturn a travel ban imposed by Emmanuel Macron.
