How did they vote?

Hilarious. Enjoy lying in the beds you made in 2016. You're all adults, take some fucking responsibility for the consequences of your actions in voting to leave, which 62.2% of Dover did.

These people get what they voted for and now they come crying...

The problem is that the Brexiteers in Kent would have no problem with this if it were to be constructed in the dirty old North East of England. Whereas the Brexit voting population of the North east just see is as our right to build lorry parks.

Welcome to brexit

I feel like doing something to help them. As soon as I've stopped pissing myself laughing.

As it already has been mentioned, Kent voted for this. Think back to June 2016. Choices and Consequences....

The majority of Kent voted leave, suck it up buttercup

62.2% of you voted for this in Dover. You were warned.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 welcome to the brexit you voted for

Good luck with that guys. Bed made and all that.

KeepMeOnTheRoad Ha, its what you voted for. Morons.

On a positive (and quite possibly slightly sarcastic) note, at least now they can channel* their anger into something worthy and useful. *pun intended Brexit

Beautiful

Surely this is what Kent voted for....

Isn't this what Kent voted for?

The Brexidiots should be grateful instead of moaning. Suck it up

You voted overwhelmingly for this especially the older generation now been photographed protesting about the BrexitReality

Hopefully it’ll detrimentally impact those who voted for Brexit down there. I just feel bad for those sane ones who didn’t.

They wanted Brexit ... Brexit they got

Taking back control of our own boundaries? Got to stack the queues somewhere as extra paperwork is checked.

Why are they moaning, they've got blue passports? What else do they want? P.S. There is nothing else, just mayhem to come.

Lol only English people would vote to destroy their own lives then moan about it when they get exactly what they asked for. This country is done out ere

Brexit NIMBYs?

They knew what they were voting for.

I feel for these people. I shudder at the image of 1200 lorries. But it is going to happen in someone’s backyard, unfortunately. This is all part of the fallout of Brexit.

I guess they are dispLeaver's? Got to get a portmanteau out if this.

TAKE BACK CONTROL 🤣

Bloody Leavemoaners Why can't they just enjoy their victory instead of spreading fear?

Enjoy the new park.

Isn’t this what they voted for?

REVERT REVERT REPENT GO BACK It was easier everyone knew how it worked. It will stop the brexit train wreck. Sensible people vote on it. twitter A good democratic indication. As per Art 51 Bypass the londinium inbreeding Pick any topic. Fish in a barrel. Dismiss the toryZ.

You get what you vote for unfortunately

They won, get over it

If only they could have done something to prevent all this happening

They need to capitalise. Turn into one of those wild west railway towns.
