Duty free is back ,your fags are safe

As for checks its two way and the best bit about brexit !

If you CHOOSE to go abroad then you CHOOSE to get what you deserve,you know whats going to happen before you go if you dont like it tough!

I find it strange these new regulations seem to be hated but they have no bother doing the very same going to the other 230 odd countries on the planet! Infact the EU ones are even softer you dont need a visa for 3 months?

Betrayed’: Dover residents furious over building of Brexit lorry park

locals say they feel “betrayed” and “trapped” by the “lies” of the government over Brexit. Just as they were looking forward to a new year, the letter from the transport minister Rachel Maclean arrived advising them that the white cliffs site had been purchased and would be used as an “Inland Border Facility” from July

Lies of government with brexit ????

You got exactly what you voted for

My mrs brother lives in dover ,anything new including lorry parks will only improve it

He was on the phone this morning and never mentioned it ,so much for all this anger of 'locals' thats the difference between reality and headlines

Update she just asked her aunt on facebook who also lives in dover ,never heard of it !

PS" just minutes " away could be anywhere in the country ,how many minutes and how fast are you travelling? Knowing the area theres a great spot between folkestone and dover huge area of land thats hardly used for agriculture anymore ,the camp used to house all the channel tunnel workers was opposite it and it had an army camp near it ,nice area for new jobs imho hardly going to be an eyesore theres only a village either end both folkestone and dover cannot see it its above them ,its a perfect place you cannot even see it from the sea ,build it twice the size few will notice i lived in the village at the folkestone end and it needs some employment ! Build it three times bigger and you may get amazon putting in a distribution center even more jobs the area needs them!

How can the government be lying if they said lorry parks would be built?and its far better than the manston site until the road system is improved ,smells of nymbyism to me and a strange post from a person who whines about lost jobs not supporting a job creation idea!?

If farms cannot support them selves because they are undercut by cheap imports build something on them !

 I talk  shite !!!! Next you will be telling me we are doing well with covid 19 ,record cases this government are doing a horrendous job !!!! They have allowed people to spread it everywhere all round the country, .example London was in tier 2 an absolute joke and now it’s payback time

Jusr a small example, what’s our net contribution to the EU £9 billion per year look at 2017-2018 alone if it were a business it would be bust -bankrupt.https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/foreign-investment-in-uk-companies-in-2018-and-the-effect-of-brexit/
