Brexit: Arron Banks lambasted over Dover lorry queue comments

"Very desperate or very stupid, or both," wrote one person in response.

Arron Banks is currently suing Guardian journalist,Carole Cadwalladr for defamation over Brexit backer’s ‘covert relationship’ with Russia.

Banks, who donated a record £8m to the Leave.EU campaign group, is suing Cadwalladr for defamation over two instances – one in a Ted Talk and one in a related tweet – in which she said the businessman was lying about his relationship with the Russian state.

However, Brexit backer Arron Banks still had time to tweet this about the pile-up of lorries in Kent due to Brexit delays…. “It will just push growth at other ports & level up trade across the country…”

Enormous queues of lorries up to 9 miles long began after new full customs controls came into force at the beginning of this year. Checks needed for the government’s new Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) system and other export paperwork are said to be the cause.

It comes as National Highways denied CCTV of Brexit queues was intentionally turned off.

It will just push growth at other ports & level up trade across the country .. https://t.co/Yrjli2boXT

A few people chipped in on the general lorry issues in Kent.

I wonder if Farage has noticed the long lorry queues at Dover yet when lingering around Dover looking for people in dinghies?

If you think the queues at Dover are bad now – well you ain't see nothing. Come September, the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) begins and Brits entering France will have to have biometric checks at the border. Enjoy!

It was the comment from Banks that had a lot of people bemused.

Desperate stuff there Arron, it will push up inflation & costs, those are then passed on to consumers in the form of much higher prices.

That in turn feeds more inflation = higher taxes and a poorer society.

Brexit means going back to bad old days of 1970s, just as we warned.

Only in your head. Lorries have to come full and depart full or they do not pay. If they are in London do you want them to 'level up' by driving to Hollyhead to get back to France. Dream on.

Usual nonsense from someone sold on destroying Britain. The only thing being pushed up are prices and exhaust fumes as wages stagnate.
