'Christmas is gone for me' - Truck driver stuck in Dover speaks about UK-France border chaos

UK-France coronavirus travel ban: Lorries were set to start moving again this morning at the Port of Dover as a huge operation was launched after testing staff arrived in Dover overnight following 48 hours of chaos on the south coast of England. A deal has finally been struck with France after a ban on arrivals from the UK was imposed by President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday, which has since seen thousands of trucks stranded in Kent, unable to cross the Channel.

Ronald Schroeder, 52, from Hamburg, Germany, who was turned back from Dover on Sunday night, said the 'social situation' for drivers is worsening due to a lack of toilet and washing facilities. He said: 'I am now staying in a hotel, but in front of the hotel there are thousands of people without any rooms waiting to come over the Channel crossing. I feel a little bit like Robinson Crusoe on an island.

'I already know that for me Christmas is gone, I have already stopped the hope of Christmas, hopefully I can be back for New Year, but I have lost the hope this Christmas to be at home with my children and my wife.'
