Empty Shelves

[gulliver1]

It seems that there is very little evidence of empty supemarket shelves in E/U Countries or shortage of lorry drivers, as the hard line Brexit MPs keep telling people.....

Nothing compares with the UK shortages, which are getting worse by the day. Brexit and Exit from the single market and Customs union are to blame . Blaming Covid is just face saver... Time for a few U turns Boris

Think Christmas shopping will have to start early in Brexitland this year ,
very very early.

Ending free flow immigration was an advertised benefit of Brexit.
The theory was that the Johnny Foreigners were taking jobs from British born workers, and now (Brexit) the gaps can be filled with local British workers .
But it aint happening is it, because the Brits won't do that type of work when they can stay in bed every morning and claim benefits. Even if the goods do get through to the supermarket there ain't nobody that wants to be a shelf stacker , get it.

All the lorry drivers went home to Europe, but there is a shortage of lorry drivers in Europe, did they go home or didn't they?

In other words, it's laziness, not Brexit, that's causing the problem.

// No it hasnt, true it could have been better in some areas but its still in the early days//

o god does anyone remember Dennis Healey and "13 years of Tory misrule" - so things were still fracked after the Labour gained power. 1966-1970. - - kinda kept it up for 13 y

yeah I agree that there are times
when Gully sounds like a resurrected Theland - but specialising in known failed economic policies

but hell does he go on trying

For Funks Sake please try to be consistent. That is a right wing trope. No one at all has a good time on benefits.

Brexit Suicide.Typical little Englanders .It was all about colour.

// It was all about colour. //

No it wasn’t. Most of Europe is white. It was all about xenophobia. Dislike of foreigners, telling us what to do.

The only shortage we have is of tonic water! A combination of holidaying at home, perhaps, with (the supermarket told me) a shortage of CO2. I remember one of those shortages a couple of years ago. It is not beyond the wit of managers to find alternative sources of food etc.. Current grapes in the house come from Egypt.
