Army being brought in for testing to unblock the Dover log jam has been televised.

But they were not the only ones as in addition to some 1,100 British military personnel who were drafted in to oversee testing at Manston Airport over the course of last week, they were supported by French firefighters and the Polish military’s Territorial Defence Force.
- in the after the fact reporting it transpires that all that Gvmnt 'testing' had been a tad partial as "The airport was a tragedy. A horror. There were four toilets for drivers, no showers and no possibility of leaving. We couldn’t even serve them food with dignity. That’s worse than in prison"

As Glastonbury has been cancelled, may be buying in some expertise for the next round might be an idea? For how long has the 'joke' about Kent road sides being dotted with porta-loos been circulating on this site; turned out to be no joke
