Giant Union Jack-clad Theresa May gives Europe two-fingered salute from White Cliffs of Dover
So a giant effigy of Theresa May flicking a V-sign to Europe appeared on the White Cliffs of Dover today.

Not sure how strong and stable it is, though.
Locals had mixed feelings about the stunt, according to Kent Online.
Not a bloke called Simon Hare, though. He was FURIOUS.
“Whether you agree or disagree with Brexit, it was crass, vulgar and insulting to any Europeans coming into Dover on the ferry and a ridiculous message to send to Europe when we are about to start negotiating our exit from the EU!”
It didn’t last long though, and a bit like the real thing has already been brought crashing down to earth.
Two-dimensional, just like the real thing. https://t.co/h4W2c3auKz

She isn’t flicking the Vs; she’s showing how many trading partners we’ll have left at the end of all this.
