I can’t agree with the truckers either, naturally I agree that it’s up to the individual as to what medication one accepts into ones body, but I have difficulty getting my head around anyone prepared to give up a lucrative job rather than have a couple of jabs.

We remind you that all HGV and van drivers and their passengers travelling with Eurotunnel must adhere to the following requirements as instructed by the relevant authorities:

He added, “For £5000 p.m., ($6800 p.m.), I can suffer filling in a couple of forms and having a Covid test, it’s a no brainer.”
