MP Sparks Outrage with False Claim on Operation Brock
Ashford MP Sojan Joseph has landed himself in hot water after falsely telling a constituent that Kent County Council (KCC) controls Operation Brock. The claim is completely untrue and has sparked fury among locals.
Who’s Really in Charge of Operation Brock?
Contrary to Joseph’s statement, Kent County Council has zero control over Operation Brock. The traffic scheme is solely activated and managed by National Highways, working under the national government and alongside the police. KCC cannot start, manage, or end the operation.
Ignorance or Political Dodging?
It’s shocking for a sitting MP to get such a basic fact wrong. Either Joseph is clueless about how one of Kent’s most disruptive traffic measures works, or he’s deliberately misleading voters to avoid accountability. Neither excuse holds water.
Kent Residents Deserve the Truth, Not Spin
This false claim is nothing but a cheap political stunt designed to slam Kent County Council unfairly. Reform councillors vow to expose these lies and defend the truth. The people of Kent deserve honesty — not shameless political point-scoring.
