25m tonnes worth of imports come into the Port of Liverpool every year, so that's roughly 2,400 massive 40ft container-carrying lorries a day.

/1

Since we're leaving the EU's Customs Union, after Jan 1st they will ALL will need parking space in a secure "bonded facility" for inspection by customs officials (that don't yet exist). 100 lorries an hour. One every 36 seconds. 24 hours a day.

/2

The government has just granted itself permission to build this massive concrete facility, surrounded by razor wire, *anywhere* in Liverpool. Reverse alarms 24/7. Flood lights on all night. Lorries tearing up our already potholed streets.

/3

The Tories down in London, led by unelected bureaucrat millionaire posh-boy hipster wannabe Dominic Cummings (he for whom the rules do not apply), can *legally* rip up Sefton Park, Calderstones, Crokky Park... even Stanley Park if they want to.

/4

We have no right to query the location and no legal means to stop the demolition of our green spaces and heritage.

/5

My question to any #scouse #Brexiter (or, even worse, #Lexiter) amongst us is this... where within Liverpool's city boundary do you absolute melts want Cummings to build this (completely unnecessary) massive concrete #Brexit lorry park?
