A small group of Brexiters blocked a main road into an Aldi supermarket depot - because they want Brexit to happen now.

The group of around five supporters came in cars and camper vans and blocked Chester High Road, in Neston , last night.

In a video taken by a passerby members of the group can be seen brandishing placards and wearing British flags around themselves.

Meanwhile a man with a microphone shouts 'this is Brexit at its best' as another woman, with a flag wrapped around her head, shouts 'we are here'.

The video also shows how the men and women have parked their vehicles directly across the busy road, which is used for trucks delivering goods to the depot.

After the protesters were spotted, people took to social media to warn others of the roadblock.

A post on social media said: " Aldi RDC at Neston has been blocked by Brexit direct action group. Nothing in or out."

Meanwhile a Twitter user wrote that their son's truck was "stuck outside the depot" as the roadblock caused disruption to workers.

One man wrote on Twitter: "They have blocked the road to a German supermarket distribution centre because they 'don't want German they want Brexit'.... with a German motorhome."

Many others were also left scratching their heads as to what the group's intentions were with the protest.

One on Facebook joked: "That’s going to make all the difference" while another said: "Protesting lower prices..... what a bunch of prize plums."

Another pointed out that one of the Brexit protesters was in an American-themed jumper and wrote: "Obviously backing Britain, so why’s the one waving the flag got a Stars and Stripes jacket on?" to which a woman replied "Not a clue. No idea what specifically they're protesting, it's all a bit confusing".

A spokesman for Cheshire Police said they were called to the scene to reports of a "peaceful protest".

A spokesman added: "The report came in at 9.40pm and officers attended the scene and spoke to all involved and there was minimal disruption."

Aldi is just one of a number of businesses which could be affected if Britain leaves the European Union.

The UK was due to leave the EU on April 12 however no deal has yet been secured after MPs repeatedly rejected Mrs May's deal.

The 27 remaining EU member states are now offering to extend the Brexit deadline until October 31, with a "break clause" of June 30 where British co-operation will be reviewed.

Mrs May will also have to agree to this deadline before it becomes official.
