Er, no… Philip’s job is literally to be the Queen’s consort… that’s his role, title and position.

Anyway, enough of the everyday sexism… some more inevitability in coming…

The man who airily dismissed talk of huge lorry queues as ‘Project Fear’ has just written to the haulage industry to tell them to expect huge lorry queues.

Michael Gove. doesn’t possess an ounce of shame, does he?

Just been on @bbcR4today talking to Justin about this Gove letter to industry about updated “reasonable worst case scenario” for post Brexit transition period border – first time clear acknowledgement of potential disruption on 1/1/21

Weirdly, theres actually a part of me that’s looking forward to the tsunami of outrage from all the gammons in Kent who voted for Brexit, when they’re stuck in a traffic jam of 7,000 lorries.

Not much of a consolation as the economy collapses I know, but I suspect that by January we’ll have little else to laugh about

What, even the 97% of that outrage which shall be directed wholly at scapegoats?

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.

Powerful and important piece. An example: the wording of clause 45 makes regulations under clause 43 that make a corrupt or biased grant, or otherwise illegal tax break, to a friend or relation of a government Minister or official immune from any challenge in court. https://t.co/6e0F5HkMvV

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.

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

There's anger among hauliers after a few days of the government appearing to shift blame for potential chaos in January

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!!

Police to stop lorries without permits entering Kent in new ‘internal border’ https://t.co/yDuwGIpNfr

7000 trucks end to end is a distance of around 125 kilometers, the M20 cannot cope with that.

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…?

Nigel Farage tells me on a Kent border: “Not only an internal border with Northern Ireland but now Kent too. Is this the worst government ever?”

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.
