Food Shortages.

[gulliver1]

"The British Retail Consortium" Which represents all the major food and retail chains in the UK.
Has said it expects to see food shortages and more empty shelves by the end of this week.
This is no longer about... will Christmas be OK ......It's about keeping the wheels turning and the lights on so we can get to Christmas..... Come on Boris ... time to step in. Before there is a winter of discontent under your leadership.

[gulliver1]

Easily convinced.

[Bobbisox1]

Me or the lady who spoke from the HGV centre?

[teacake44]

Jeremy Vine? say no more, apart from what a prat.

[Bobbisox1]

Only it wasn’t JV saying it ( smiles sweetly at the Teacake)

[teacake44]

You don't say? He just spends most of the evening before his crap show raking up as much rubbish as he can.

[naomi24]

Covid played a major part.

You know him personally TC?
Wow!

Fuel shortages have not hit us yet - but we have suffered food shortages since before Christmas last year.
The Government do not care - they got what they wanted Brexit!

[naomi24]

The government didn't get what it wanted - it didn't want Brexit - but the people got what they wanted and rightly so. That's democracy.

[Bobbisox1]

Which is why David did a runner …the country voted

[gulliver1]

The only advice I can give to anyone who thinks Brexit has nothing to with the shortages is . Keep the blinkers on and keep looking down that tunnel.

[naomi24]

Unsolicited advice from you Gulliver, but gratefully received nonetheless. ;o)

[Bobbisox1]

What you having for Christmas dinner Gully?

[Redhelen72]

The NIP is born out of Brexit - it has screwed the people of Northern Ireland - that was pushed through so that the government could keep their promise of Brexit.
Naomi and Bobbisoz - you may say different and you are of course entitled to your opinion but I live here and I see what it is doing to us on a daily basis.

Bobbi, I was thinking about rabbit stew for mine. Time to get out my trusty 12 bore and go a hunting methinks.

[gulliver1]

11.25" the govt didn't get what it wanted - (it didn't want Brexit")....eh
Boris ....Let's Get Brexit done,,,,, Boris was elected because of Brexit promises

[Bobbisox1]

I’m thinking Christmas Casserole Maggie ?
Oh hang on, will there be no steak?
Powdered eggs on home made bread it is then, but what about the yeast?

[gulliver1]

Not forgetting in the early days when Cameron was in charge,
Boris was very anti Brexit ,,,, then he saw his chance to fulfill his boyhood dream of becoming PM and swapped sides and it worked. Not sure who advised him though.

// Which is why David did a runner …the country voted//

yeah foo
as opposed to 1918 ( historical analogy coming up folks!)
the Russian army did a runner, no one voted and Lenin seized power

History repeats itself ( another quote) first as tragedy and then as comedy

[bobbinwales]

gulliver- naomis point about the goverment not wanting Brexit is right- she was talking about the Cameron goverment which assumed the vote would be to Remain
