30 doctors from Poland spent the whole Christmas Eve night doing covid tests for #LorryDrivers one lorry after another. They managed to do 1200 tests.
In Dover!
Polish doctors have to rescue the #LorryDrivers crisis in the UK when the UK government didn't even organise food, water and toilets for them. Would the British do the same if it happened in Poland? I doubt it I see a pattern here in history. We are told to leave but help anyway
Dreadful, incomprehensible scenes at Dover. These poor lorry drivers left stranded, probably unable to get home for Xmas, without basics like enough loos, washing facilities & food, & insult to injury added by the lack of translators to explain what’s happening. It’s indecent.
Yes, this has occurred after a Covid emergency, but we are days from potentially a No Deal Brexit, so therefore similar border difficulties predictable. The govt has not only claimed it’s been preparing for months, but has had days to endure basic welfare for stranded drivers.
Meanwhile, here is the German Ambassador ensuring basic welfare of stranded drivers.
How is the British govt so unprepared, incapable or unwilling to engage with the human misery caused by the situation? Shouldn’t be put up to charity to fix or feed. But thank you @Khalsa_Aid.
