but this is just so completely beyond satire that it’s absolutely hilarious.
We all knew about the border down the Irish Sea that Bozo denied existed due to his absolutely brilliant Withdrawal Agreement (and when Bozo promises to withdraw as early as possible you should always be wary). Then came the Internal Market Bill and “Oh, crumbs, there’s going to be a border down the Irish Sea. Quick, let’s just ignore the absolutely brilliant Withdrawal Agreement.” Many of us even expect a border between England and Scotland in the not too distant future. What has come as a real surprise is the border around Kent.
“A de-facto Brexit border is to be introduced for lorry drivers entering Kent to travel on to the EU, Michael Gove has confirmed.
The minister for the Cabinet Office and chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster told the Commons that lorry drivers would need a “Kent access permit” to get into the county from 1 January with “police and ANPR cameras [automatic number plate recognition]” enforcing the system.
Drivers, British or foreign, who are travelling, for instance from depots in the Midlands, will need to get a permit before they arrive in Kent if they intend to board a ferry or Eurotunnel train.”
Wow, look at all this red tape we’re saving by leaving the EU! You now need a bit of paperwork to get into Kent to show that you’ve filled in all the necessary customs declarations to get out of Kent. One commenter suggested that the “Kent access permit” might be called a “Kermit” in memory of all the Muppets that brought it to us.
Believe it or not, there was a time when this video was considered silly.
