The government has secretly purchased nine hectares of land 20 miles from Dover to site a vast new Brexit customs clearance centre for the 10,000 lorries that come through the Kent port from Calais every day.
The traffic will be at a standstill.. whoever thought this was a good idea?
England's a basket case. Ashford's fucked 🚛🚚🚛🚚🚛🚚🚚🚛🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚚🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚛🚛🚛🚛🚓🚛🚛🚛🚓🚛🚛🚛🚓🚛🚛🚚🚚🚓🚚🚚🚓🚓🚛🚓🚓🚚🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓

In 5 months and 20 days? I don't think so...
Well that nicely explains the reason why a pointless new junction at Ashford on the M20 was built at that exact location and in a very strange configuration. This must have been on the agenda for a long time.
Doesn't look like any of these trucks could do a u turn but the government has and I bet all the farmers that voted for them would vote Remain now and not Tory
Kent - the lorry park of England
Kent - the Burden of England
Brilliant just look at all those jobs that will be created
PointlessBrexit They'd better get some Polish builders in toute sweet, or this ain't gonna get built in time. It took them nearly a year to build our local Sainsburys.
RosamundUrwin Well our Dear Leader BorisJohnson did say 'Build Build Build' so technically he told the truth. By accident. Normal lying service will be resumed immediately. BorisHasFailedUK
Is it because this is a story about Brexit that all the measurements have to be in imperial which very few reading it will really understand.
Square feet? Jingoistic Brexit-bullshit units betray the source of this exclusive
The writing is on the wall about the reality of Brexit !
Cedar50 So completely ridiculous and a waste of money whilst the UK rolls in debt people live in poverty our Government is layerings in bureaucracy costs for the sake of the Tories ideology what idiots it takes a leader to face up and say this is wrong
Cedar50 Permanent operation stack?
Does this catastrophic Tory government, run by Cummings, not have a clue of the shambles they are making of the UK?
I couldn't think of a nicer thing to happen to Kent 🙂
Cedar50 Oh Britain , why, exactly?
To flush out all the diahorea that comes with Brexit
For part II of the British-Irish smuggling story, the smuggling will happen not across the border but on the British island, somewhere between Dover and Ashford. I suspect, somewhere here, on the way to Ashford. The value of Channel ports Ltd, truck stop has shot up!
Brexit was never defined, it is still not defined. Brexit did not need to mean leaving single market & customs union, that was never voted on. That choice was never given to the public.
FYI vivamjm csibike1 lunaperla kentlivenews
Self inflicted 'The government has been forced to introduce customs controls because of the decision to leave the EU’s single market and the customs union on 1 January'
Surely it is a 'world-beating' customs centre? And will work just like the idiots app. This is stinking like the corrupt military regimes that wrecked so much of South America!
It’ll be a nightmare. The infrastructure in Kent is shocking as it is. It’ll be interesting to see how the good Brexiters of Thanet deal with the ensuing gridlock. It is, after all, what they voted for.
Hey Bob what's the reason for this huge mess of hung up lorries with perishable goods. It starting to stink. Ya got that right Archie.
When?
If that ever, ever happens, my name is vim van vonk!!
That must be the Brexit dividend. All that fed tape going out of the window freeing us up for...
omminc Good luck with that.
Great for local jobs
What a joke ! What chaos ! Now they start ?
the number of trucks in the photo is roughly equal to the number of trucks that cross the border every 10 minutes. 458 an hour or 11,000 a day just saying..
And another expense that comes with Brexit. Purely out of interest, how much an acre is prime Kent land next to the Channel link?
Not big enough lads.
Which one of DominicCullings friends did they buy it off? Without tender, probably inflated price, no scrutiny corruption?
So picturesque
Chop chop. 💨🐌
To be built is a very open statement. When it will be open s more important.
Good news . The quicker this huge centre and 50000 new customs agents are recruited to man it the quicker we can get rid of all that expensive red tape those EU fuckers imposed on us .
If this costs more than 350m quid I’m gonna be furious
By December? 🤣
Only pro-brexit EU food stuffs will be let in. You may starve next UK, producing only 40% of your own food? Brexit
Need to move quickly 5 and a half months left to build it and staff it
Wonder which it one of their mates has got the contract for this?
Winning.
Hahaha
We should be pulling down barriers to trade, not putting them up. Fucking disgraceful
What's the fucking point.
Brexit construction jobs....hmmm
