A Tory MP stepping in human poo in Kent’s lorry park is the perfect metaphor for Brexit
On a fact-finding mission to assess the lack of facilities for lorry drivers in the Farage Garage Kent, the chairman of the Select Committee on Transport, Huw Merriman, got an instant and very unpleasant demonstration when he stepped off the minibus into human poo.
An MP on a fact-finding mission to Kent regarding post-Brexit lorry chaos learned about the impact first-hand when he stepped in human poo in a layby. That and more from @PaulOnPolitics here… https://t.co/AWdhT9V6sG

We don’t want to know how it was identified as human poo, thank you very much, but warnings that the Brexit red tape and lack of customs officials could turn the Garden of England into a giant toilet have been around for years, and were brushed off as Project Fear.
We suspect Mr Merriman won’t have been able to brush the crap off his shoes quite as easily.
Here’s what people have been saying about it.

The Tory MP accidentally stepping in human excrement while in Kent to see the massive lorry queues is such an on the nose metaphor for Brexit, I’m struggling to believe it really happened.
