The big Brexit thread - news, updates and discussion

[brogdale]

Yessss.. Kent is taking back control.

Not sure the Surrey yeoman of Limpsfield Chart will get what they voted for!

 

[Winot]

Good thread here on the Brexit to-do list. Starts with textbook chutzpah.

 

[two sheds]

Does this mean that Kent will now effectifvely be French??

 

[brogdale]

"...users risk encountering bugs..." from a Johnson regime out-sourced IT project? Really?

Er...no...(East) Kent will be a part of what it has always been for one and a half millennia; Schleswig-Holstein

 

[tommers]

what he hasn't yet mentioned is that people from kent going to other parts of the country will also need a permit to travel.

Good. More borders the better. Got everything i need already. Keep those dirty sussex bastards out of our glorious homelands. Tax the lorries, build a cunting wall!

I'm going to push for Chatham to be its own state soon, like Monaco or Vatican City.

We hold all the cards!

 

[brogdale]

We all knew that Brexit would lead to the break up of the Union; who knew it would lead to the break up of England first!

 

[Streathamite]

Yessss.. Kent is taking back control.

Unfortunately, there's also the little matter of having to set up lorry parks to handle 7000 lorries whose cargo is being processed excruciatingly slowly. Plus the potential for 100km tailbacks that will create.
Basically, the fair county of Kent is goiing to be turned from the Garden of England to the Carpark of England

AFAIK Chatham, along with the other Medway towns is already a Unitary district and not, now, technically part of Kent at all...East or West. Maybe all the waiting HGVs will be able to park there?

That's going to mean huge queues of trucks at the Sussex-Kent border though.

The only way to solve that will be by charging trucks £300 at the Sussex border if they don't have a permit.

Especially difficult now due to the meddling Anglo Saxons (Jutes):

I can imagine the more swivel-eyed brexiters using that as conclusive proof of sinister German plotting to undermine Brexit

 

[not-bono-ever]

fuckin jutes, coming over here etc

 

[maomao]

All sources of news, especially Brexit are biased.

All sources being flawed is not the same as all sources being equal.

You thick cunt.

 

[brogdale]

fuckin jutes, coming over here etc

It's always the Jutes with you people...

You seem to think that having 7000 lorries full of goods within our borders puts us at some kind of disadvantage.

 

[ska invita]

Yessss.. Kent is taking back control.

An attempt to displace the queues I guess

Well, I'm pretty sure the good people of kent won't be ecstatic about having them all there at the same time. for obvious reasons of inconvenience!

 

[MrSki]

Will the Kent access permit be known as a kermit?

Just checking here but am I right in thinking there hasn’t been an internal border in Kent since Alfred the Great was in charge?

And even then I doubt there was much of one.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Honestly if I knew it would involve sealing off Kent from the rest of the country I'd have voted leave.

Yeah 863 or something was the last time we controlled our own borders.

Hauliers have had enough of Michael Gove

The smug buffoon knows fuck all and has adopted an unfortunate hectoring tone in his letters to UK hauliers- effectively seeking to shift the blame onto them and the EU for "not preparing adequately" rather than the UK governments' belief in unicorns and a good opportunity for disaster capitalists.

Still as the Odeys and Rees-Moggs of this world count their millions in January 2021 they will care very little for lorry drivers sitting for an indefinite period on the M20. Good idea to visit Dover Castle, or Deal Beach before January next year as very unlikely you'll be able to afterwards. What a disaster is brewing here.

On Kent becoming independent, a fissure surely will happen between West Kent (de facto capital Westerham, quickly re-named Farage City) and the People's Democratic Republic of East Kent, with a hardline Marxist-Leninist regime installed in Gillingham, re-opening the coal mines, building a Trabant factory in Sheerness, and funding a heavily armed separatist regime by charging extortionate rates for use of the republic's share of the River Thames. Gillingham FC to be guaranteed European football every season by dominating the new East Kent Premier League.

Grayling's (no) ferry company goes bust.

That adequate food supplies promise is beginning to look massively Johnsonesque.

 

[steeplejack]

I love Kent and have friends and family staying there. It's facing a desperate couple of years really, as are the rest of us, to a lesser degree.

Everyone knows this will be a disaster, everyone knows it will cause massive disruption and likely massive economic degradation and unemployment, everyone can see creeping oligarchisation and democratic erosion in plain sight.

But no one can stop it.
