Brexit is turning Kent into a giant toilet – our 9 favourite reactions
It’s with good reason that Kent is known as the Garden of England.
With its tranquil hilly landscape, beautiful beaches, historic buildings and, of course, the iconic White Cliffs of Dover, it’s a tourist destination for many.

Some 59 per cent of voters in the county opted for Brexit, but we don’t remember seeing any of this written on the side of a bus.

Brexiters do like a slogan, so Leave means leave got an upgrade.
