Canvey Island to go

[V8 FOU]

So from 2019 Canvey will no longer be supported by the local council. When the last resident leaves they will destroy the road link and let it float away.
Meanwhile in the Medway, the SS Montgomery is "humming and hissing". If it detonates it will take out Canvey, and quite a lot of North Kent. Local residents and busineses have already been evacuated.

Erm, this isn't April 1st is it?

Have you, erm, you know, checked whete this story came from.

I'll hesitate give you a load of abuse at this juncture

If they're going to float it off why not tie Grain to it at the same time

I have just sent this to my missus who is from Kent. I will report back with her answer.

I'm still wondering if the current backlash against "fake news" is simply a growing number of people who do not understand satire.

I thank you......

As a Benfleet boy born and bred we often used to joke about cutting off the bridges to "the island" and letting it float out to sea. It'd be no great loss
