So, if there are huge lorry queues on either side of the channel, it's more than just the goods being held up, isn't it? The lorries and the drivers themselves will also be tied up, and not able to deliver other stuff in their respective home regions.
Surely haulage companies will be forced to refuse to deliver between the UK and EU, even if producers have buyers? Because they'd have to hire more drivers and buy more trucks which is unlikely because their income wouldn't be going up.

No, no, no! It will just be on our side of the Channel because the French are being their usual obstructive selves. There'll be no queue at the French side because we'll have our world beating infrastructure and everything will just sail through no problem with no checks.
Oh, hang on. I haven't thought that through have I?
Don't worry, I'm sure the powers that be have thought of this and there's absolutely nothing to worry about. Just carry on and keep the economy ticking over. You're not one of them are you? (#metropolitanliberalelite)
Do you honestly think that our Spitfire pilots asked these kind of questions as they stepped into their cockpits to face the dreadful Hun?

Don't forget all the red tape that'll stop haulage companies from making their routes efficient by delivering within, not just to, the market they are going to be 'outside' come January.
Don't you worry your pretty little head. It's all in hand. Michael Gove is in charge of planning.
The 50,000 border staff required have all been recruited and trained, the physical infrastructure is all in place and a 'world-beating' IT system has been delivered on time and under budget.
Oh... erm... hang on a minute....
I am seriously going to buy a few extra cans every shop now.
I predict riots in the spring...no one riots in winter.
there will be shortages of anything that comes from abroad (especially food and medicine) and costs will rise, pretty much everything will get more expensive as a result.
the government are going to be throwing money at the big outsourcing companies it an attempt to show the public that the are doing something (which also has the happy coincidence of enrich their mates).
BlowJo will have exited stage left by this point and some other mug will be trying to clean up his mess.

Covid functions as a tremendous smokescreen. Although with our electorate it’s hardly necessary to use any cover at all. Just make up a three word sentence and throw it at them. Here’s one: ‘Ra, ra, ra!’
(quick, sign this while they’re all saying ‘ra ra ra’)
Meanwhile:
The powers in the Internal Market Bill are a breach of the Withdrawal Agreement – an International Treaty – and astonishingly wide in their reach. They represent a power grab from the Devolved Governments of N.Ireland, Scotland and Wales and enable a Minister to override all other law, regulation, convention or agreement whatsoever (p36 – Section 45, 4 a-g).
Complaints about a Minister breaching his/her duty under the Ministerial Code can be made through the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Office here.
MPs who voted for IMB on Monday 14th September 2020 can be found on Hansard
Or – we can do nothing.

I reckon they might have asked a few questions if they found out Winston was actively inviting them over.

Who leaked that top secret plan and how did you get it?
Joking aside, in essence this is actually what is going to happen.

Already ahead of you there. I feel a bit dirty doing it, but there is a better than even* chance I would be depriving someone who thinks this shitshow was a good idea, so not too dirty.

Re the beardy nob up there on Sky News.
I saw a load of bread the other day resembled him. Then I read a bit closer and realised it actually said 'Thick Cut'.
He doesn't know, of course he ****ing doesn't. He just got all misty eyed when someone waved a Union Jack and 'thought' that 'sovrunty' would sort out all his petty little hangups about race, nationality etc.
Pillock.
7000 trucks end to end is a distance of around 125 kilometers, the M20 cannot cope with that.

But but but, the pause when he can't answer the woman's question. Civilisations have risen and fallen, epochs have come and gone, species have evolved and expired, guns n roses have released 'chinese democracy', etc in the time that beardy p*ssbucket reacted to that question
Can you image what we're going to look like to the rest of the world when they see the whole of the South East of England turned into an enormous lorry park and the entire motorway network gridlocked, as Boris and chums proudly proclaim they've 'Taken Back Control'?

If we put our STW bike nerd spectacles on for a minute, where will this leave the annual pilgrimage to Morzine? Good job I left that all behind when I had a kid. But seriously, the fort bill and leogang world cups will have to be spaced a month apart to allow time for the team buses to be processed at Dover. I'm sorry but loic bruni's coach seat ass welts are yet another and hitherto forgotten consequence of brexit

Just when you thought Brexit can't get any more insane, you remember that the diseased mind of Michael Gove is in charge of finding 'solutions' to potential problems.
His answer to the potential customs shambles and subsequent miles of lorry queues? You'll need paperwork to enter Kent, in what will become a new internal border
Going to Europe? You'll now need a 'Kent Access Permit'
Absolute ****ing madness!!

Of course it can. It's 80km long and has 3 lanes - turning lane 1 and 2 into a parking lot most of the way back to London is a small price to pay for our sovrunty. The locals will have a whole lane to themselves on which to sit in traffic, ring up LBC and muse gently about how we got to this position.

Taking control of our Borders. Moving them to Sevenoaks.
Will you need a pass to use the southeast quadrant of the M25, or just to leave it?
Are there any memes of the new look UK? Scotland, Norn Ireland cropped off. And now Kent.
Fortress UK is shrinking
What about Kent’s sovereignty? They need to take back control of their borders sharpish.
I reckon Cornwall will self determinate before Wales, they've even got their own terrorists
All they have to do is blockade the A30
I still own a house in Kent, do I need a passport to go there from France?
Thank god we are removing all that pesky EU red tape that's been holding us back for so long.
Won’t someone get rid of the moaning shit stirring toad…?

He stood his candidates aside to help this government get its mandate, and still stood them where he could stop Labour MPs from being returned, to ensure the government had a big majority. He has talked us into this sink bog, and now complains that it smells a bit, and it’s hard to move. He’s just an agent of unrest… a traitor to the interests of the UK at every turn… and still he’s there… just GO!
If we ever get back to work, AV support for clinical trials meetings all over the world, then our trucks going to Europe will now need paperwork just to get from Sussex to Kent, more paperwork to get into France, we'll have to pay for at least 4 more days truck hire and drivers wages as well as the cost of all the paperwork. We'll also have lost the use of kit for at least 4 days for each round trip which will increase cross hire costs.
All the work we've won ahead of suppliers across France, Belgium, The Netherlands,Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy and Austria will become uneconomical. I'm not sure how handing all that work back to companies outside of the UK adds to the Brexit bonus it's not something I've been able to work out yet.
Gove’s slimy interview with Trump.
Cumming’s missing years in Russia.
Farage and Banks in the gold Trump lift.
Wigmore and his Belize diplomatic status.
The “Brexit bonus” is not about UK interests. It never has been.
An internal, self inflicted, border in Kent.
If anything better encapsulates the utter bellendery of Brexit, this has to be it.
Will the residents of Kent get new passports?
More importantly.... will they be blue?
🤣🤣🤣
🍆💦
Oh… have we done the Gibraltar government backing Spain’s proposals for the Rock to become part of Schengen…? I mean… why wouldn’t they? Practical solutions may have been rejected by the UK government… but, the pressure to opt in to them will be strong everywhere… not just Kent.
Also worth noting that even my kids (12 & 9 yo) laughed at the idea of an internal border around Kent.
What a sad, sad, little international joke/footnote we are as a 'nation'.
Pathetic.
I still own a house in Kent, do I need a passport to go there from France?
If you go via London or Southampton to avoid the gridlock in Kent you might need your passport and two visas.

Faisal Islam Just said Great Britain is leaving in January. Does he know something we don't?

We have already left the EU. We are outside the single market and customs union (and all the other practical agreements people have taken for granted) as soon as we enter January.
Can you imagine writing any of this on the side of a bus?
We lose everything, all our ability to move around efficiently, to collaborate, to pop off abroad at a moment's notice and still have a cheap phone bill.
We gain a border in Kent, one in the Irish Sea too, a load of lorry parks, massive cost increases, massive delays to literally everything left to do with Europe and also some sovrinty and blue passports.
Vote Leave!
It'd have been 99% remain...
Project fear.
will Kent declare UDI?

I read that this afternoon. After a nervous, disbelieving cackle, the first words in my mind were Monkey Tennis. What. The. Absolute. ****.
Do I actually read this correctly? That the solution to significant delays at ports due to extra logistics IS TO INSERT ANOTHER LAYER OF LOGISTICS, WHITH THE SAME **** ALL LEVEL OF GUIDANCE THAT YOU'VE PROVIDED FOR THE FIRST SET OF LOGISTICAL PROBLEMS. **** **** **** **** ****. ****. ****.
🙁
yeah but monkey tennis.
Patriotic Man man of Kent here. The Union flat is coming down tonight tho be replaced with the new Democratic Republic of Kent flag. We already have a trade deal with the Democratic Republic of Congo. So we are sorted.
You heathens from the bad lands can stay the **** out of our county.
Remember, our Motto. Invicta!
(Gained from when we let the Romans walk through our county unopposed and claimed that as a victory but still...)
We have at least one Spitfire in the county so bring it on.

Oh, I see… that could be a useful shortcut.
How does that work for Kent hauliers that are only doing local runs, will they not be able to go out of Kent for fear of being fined for going back in. No doubt no-one has considered this.
The Kent Acces Permit is a bit wordy
The Kermit sounds better & it's a tribute to froggy face Farage!
I wonder if it’ll turn out to be an advantage or a disadvantage to be based in Kent. Or should that be… I wonder who’s going to get hit hardest, those based in Kent, or those based anywhere else in GB.
