Nearly half a dozen protesters blocked off an Aldi depot because they didn’t like its foreign heritage.

They came in cars and camper vans and parked up on a main road leading to the German supermarket’s depot in Merseyside.

Some were seen waving placards draped in Union Jack flags, while a man with a microphone shouted: ‘This is Brexit at it’s best.’

Another woman, with a flag wrapped around her head, was heard saying: ‘We are here.’


The tiny demonstration soon became a laughing stock on social media as some pointed out that one of their camper vans was German-made.



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.’

Another spotted one of the Brexit protesters wearing an American-themed jumper and wrote: ‘Obviously backing Britain, so why’s the one waving the flag got a Stars and Stripes jacket on?’

‘”This is Brexit at its best”…….blocking food deliveries getting in and out of the Depot and preventing deliveries getting to stores in time. The irony,’ Ben Haworth-Booth wrote on Liverpool Echo’s Facebook page.

And Rob Walker joked: ‘Alexa – show me the stupidest Brexit protest to date.’

Jay Frost added: ‘Theresa May is on the blower to the Aldi manager right now saying she’ll sort Brexit now and get the tills running smoothly again.’

Officers said they were called to the scene in Chester High Road in Neston, Wirral, 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.’
