I read a few warnings to the farming communities about not taking
certain livestock to market today because it was likely that there would
be very low prices because exporters wouldn't be buying. It was expected
that the rest of Europe may impose travel and trucking bans and to/from
the UK in an effort to stop the spread of the new variant of the virus.

It's very unusual to stop freight. I do wonder if this is further
punishment for daring to leave the EU. The French are especially ****ed
off but truck drivers were never seen as a vector spreading disease.
