EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

SOVRENITY:

The moment of Brexit passed without ceremony in Dover. The town had a ghost-like quality, Covid emptying it of New Year’s celebrations, as it approached 11pm with half a dozen trucks trying to make it over the line before the new trade barriers were erected. Greeted by two police officers, they were told the last ferry had departed at 9pm for France. Those who had evidence of a Covid-19 test in the last 72 hours were allowed through to the small lorry park at the port where they could sleep overnight before boarding the 7:40am ferry, the first voyage from Dover under new Brexit trading rules.
