No shortages on the shelves in Spain ... because nobody can afford to buy anything. Inflation is roaring upwards to the 2008 levels during the Global financial crash, shortage of jobs with unemployment the highest it has ever been, and a property price crash that will cripple the building industry. No fish to be had either.

Never mind after the Tory Party Conference "Things can only get better"
...it couldn't get any worse......Surely

12.11 Bet Boris and the Brexiteers would give the earth for all those unemployed people in Spain to be able to get to uk to fill all one million Job vacancies that the bone idle Brits on Benefits won't do just think Togo no more petrol queues or Empty shelves ......Talk about shooting yourself in the foot TOGO.

[in Spain] // Inflation is roaring upwards to the 2008 levels, nobody can afford to buy anything. //

Inflation in Spain is 3.3%.
In the UK it is 3.2%.
The bank of England expect it to reach 4% by the end of the year.

I think you will find that It is now 4% in Spain and rising fast. August 5th was a long time ago. Germany's rate is running at 4.1% and they are panicking like hell. They haven't got a volcano to contend with though, or the renewed independence claims from the Basque region ... or the 15.2% unemployment figures.

Gulli - don't know why you keep repeating the "empty shelves" mantra. Every shop I go in seems to be fully stocked.

[gulliver1]

I would think the reason for any unemployment in Spain Greece Cyprus or any of The E/U Holiday resorts is the shortage of British tourists , once again caused because of Brexit.

[Togo]

No shortage of holiday makers in the UK either. Don't they have holidays in Spain, Greece, or Cyprus? Can they afford them?

[gulliver1]

Never mind Boris is trying to cheer his followers on by saying, a Brighter end of the year awaits Britons, but advises them to,
.."Buy your Christmas dinner now and freeze it,"..... just in case

[naomi24]

Ahh, they’re missing us.

[gulliver1]

Yes webbo The Brits love their foreign holidays but once again shot themselves in the foot by listening to unsound advice from the likes of,, Bofarage & Co....

[naomi24]
