    Good heavens, according to a 'reasonable worst case scenario' document seen by the Sun: "Supplies of food and fuel are all under threat this Christmas if Dover becomes blocked". And there was me thinking that fuel was the one commodity that didn't feature on (surface) Dover Straits routes.

    Pretty strange article (or document) overall, actually - https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12474511/emergency-plans-perfect-storm-no-deal-brexit-coronavirus-second-wave/; for example

    "With trade talks looking set to go the wire, there is a risk they collapse — putting up trade barriers overnight on 1 January. In that scenario planners believe France will force “mandatory controls on UK goods from day one” and between 40 and 70 per cent of hauliers travelling across the Channel may not be ready for this."

    Er, it's been known ever since the Transition Period was agreed that France will enforce EU controls on UK goods (and on EU exports too for that matter) from 1.1.2021 in any scenario other than an extension to the TP.
