As Theresa May and her cabinet grow increasingly desperate to whip up enough votes to pass her supremely unpopular Brexit withdrawal agreement, her government has taken their no-deal "Project Fear" to absurd new heights.
In a demonstration meant to give the British public (and their representatives) a taste of the chaos that economists and government officials warn could be unleashed if the UK leaves the European Union without a deal, 89 lorries participated in an exercise at an abandoned airfield where they lined up in what critics described as an 'artificial traffic jam' starting at the Port of Dover.
Initially, some150 lorries had been expected to participate in the exercise, known as Operation Brock, which was also intended to test the site's suitability as a mass HGV holding bay.
While the government heralded the exercise as a 'success' - it was intended to prepare trucks for new customs checks for EU goods flowing through the port - a truckers' association warned that the preparations should have started 'months ago.'
