I saw that the Sally army and two groups of Sikhs along with other organisations had been bringing hot food and drinks to them. Must be horrible to be stuck in the cab of a lorry in a foreign country and unable to get home.

Not getting home for Christmas is sad news.
But being stuck in Kent, they have my sympathy

Bad times for the drivers, good job we were already prepared because of Brexit.
On the plus side, the garden of England wont be short of fertiliser,

Sympathy for them from me - it must be like being stuck outside Calais when the french farmers are blocking the roads yet again......

Seriously, congratulations to all the organisations that have turned out to help and support them on Christmas Eve - hope they (the stranded lorry drivers) get home to see their families soon - even though that's something many of us can't do.

What has anyone’s politics got to do with it?

Do you think the left wing of the political spectrum believe that these foreign nationals trying to get home for Christmas, don’t deserve our sympathy?
Or do you think that the right of centre believers are happy to see a load of Johnny Foriegners stuck in an airfield in Kent?

Its about basic humanity, not your politics.
