So looks like Boris’ plan to try and scare us into submission with this new strain thing, his excuse to cancel Christmas, is gonna backfire on him terribly. The EU and France in particular are now basically arm twisting the UK just before 1st Jan telling this country what brexit will be like. France flexing their muscles basically saying they can shut the tunnels whenever they want, ban british people whenever they want.
Never mind France, half the world don’t want anything to do with this island now. Quite rightly to be fair as they will base their policies on the official uk government line.
Did Boris really have human life in his thoughts when he made this decision or did he just hand the EU a massive crate of ammunition without much thought. Why would you put yourself in this position pandemic or not, brexit or not?
The new strain has apparently started circulating since September, nobody cared to mention it till now, hmmmm...

"New coronavirus strain detected around the globe, from Gibraltar to Australia
Variant may already be circulating in countries with less advanced detection methods than Britain"

Other countries just taking longer to identify the new strain, as they are approving a vaccine
We are just honest and organised.

New strain will have been expected. Happens all the time with viruses. As long as it is a slight mutation it will be manageable as it is predictable.
God help us blokes if Covid19 ever combines with PMT. That would be nasty.

I think it was Jeremy Clarkson who first referred to the French as "garlic-eating surrender monkeys".
Somehow they always think they are great. They are OK at a few sports, granted. But generally they just want other countries to bail them out of situations they have caused themselves through incompetence, arrogance, laziness.

It was Grandpa Simpson who first referred to the French as "cheese-eating surrender monkeys".
Jezza may have paraphrased him.
Anyhoo, can't blame the France for locking us out, if only Bojo had done that with people returning from Italy last February.

Well at least two influntial minds on TV recognise them as "surrender monkeys" whatever they eat. I bet they ate that Grand National winner Escargot as well. As Racing Cars sang "They Eat Horses Don't They".

L'escargot was put to stud in the US but I believe he was secretly devoured by rouge French diplomats
