Ramsgate - Ostend as a ferry service would appeal to people with Dominic Raab's level of understanding. Ramsgate isn't Dover and Ostend isn't Calais, so it looks like extra capacity is being proposed,
but,
once an hgv leaves Ramsgate, it has no option but to use the same road system from the furthest south east point of the UK, to get to any of those distribution centres that occupy land, broadly to the north and north west of London.
If the M26 and M20 are stacked with hgvs not able to proceed through Dover,
how are these extra capacity Ramsgate hgvs going to be able to leave Kent with any perishable or JIT goods?
