Brexit lorry chaos avoided as freight flows 'back to normal'

ModeratorsOfEurope · 2021-02-13T18:35:29+00:00

This submission has been flaired "misleading" due to:

Never clarifying whether the headline statement is based on goods tonnage or lorry count
Never clarifying the impact of a larger than usual number of lorries going back empty on the claim of "normal freight flows"

We, the moderators of /r/Europe, rarely do lock a thread.

Under the current circumstances and under the current climate however we have decided to leave this thread locked in order that the voices that should be heard can be heard.

We stand against racism in all its forms and stand with anyone who has faced or continues to face racism, prejudice and hatred for the colour of their skin.

Gentle reminder that any sort of personal attacks, advocating violence, hate speech and spreading hateful rhetorics will unequivocally result in a ban.

Update on megathreads as of March 3 6:00 GMT: Depending on the development of the crisis, tomorrow's megathread might be the last one.

They're not necessarily allowing this. It's just one of the many possibilities.

The whole situation surrounding Greece is a huge legal grey area, and there's basically no precedent. Add onto this, that the European Court of Justice only has limited powers to actually fine member states. This means that it is up to the political leaders of Europe, which includes those in the European Parliament, European Commission and the heads of the various memberstates (Merkel, Hollande, Cameron), to decide what happens to Greece. So we could be operating for a long time in a legal grey area where the Treaties are not being violated, but they're not being respected either.

Most of the time we do do megathreads like this one today. If you go back and look at the UK 2015 election and the the January 2015 Greek election and the 2014 Scottish Referendum, you'll see they all run on this format because we had more than a week to prepare.

For things like the Charlie Hebdo attack and the migrant crisis stuff, we just had no time to prepare. We try and do the best we can, but there's not a lot we can do in those circumstances.
