Damian Green laments truck pile up in Ashford – Twitter reacts

"I never thought trucks would pile up at MY border," weeps MP from the Trucks Piling Up at Borders Party.

Damian Green has expressed his concern over “huge disruption” in his Kent constituency of Ashford after the government snapped up a 27-acre site to be used as a holding spot for HGVs.

He said it is “unfair to Ashford” to build the site in the proposed Sevington location as it is “too near too many homes for it to be the right place”.

“It could mean several thousand lorries being stored on the site”, he lamented, which would be “hugely disruptive for everyone in the area”.

But people on Twitter were quick to point out the irony of his comments.

One said he is likely to be one of many Tory MPs moving to “distance themselves from the inevitable consequences of their own policies”, while others pointed out that Ashford voted for Brexit by some margin.

Dmitry Grozoubinski won the day, however, with this response. Hats off to him!

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
