It's Official Then.

Brexit is the main cause of the UK supply chain of food and petrol shortages says
........ "The Govt spending watchdog"........
While Boris's Ministers are trying to lay the blame on Global shortages the truth is finally out.
........Britain is world leader in shooting itself in the foot .....Bless,

^Acronym?

Why do you keep worrying about supply lines, gully.
If you get peckish you only have to pop downstairs to the chip shop.
If shut, a couple of pickled eggs and a Mars bar will stave off the hunger.

[emmie]

no shortages that i have seen in the local supermarket, nor petrol queues.

Just as well Gulliver is not in the States - I didn't know Brexit had caused a replica of shipping/supply line problems over there....what was it I read, 120 container ships queued to get into Los Angeles and similar lines in all major ports. I'm not saying that Brexit hasn't had an impact but the //main cause// is a bit rich and overkill but then what do we expect of our red in the bed. The good news is that surge in the economy above forecast has given the Chancellor more space to finance his huge development programme announced yesterday.

still waiting for a link to this story, who is saying Brexit is the main cause of these things?

[bobbinwales]

No-one is saying it. Theres a tiny bit of truth but his reading between the lines and seeing what he wants to see

Don't hold your breath TTT, blue in the face is a good look in Hollywood, sometimes...

// I can't workout why gulliver repeats the same points every few days for months on end.//

well - - - TTT did for Brexit for days on end - always evry day and usually three or four threads
all saying the same thing

vote for blue passports
and £350 m extra for the NHS

all lies of course designed to mislead and bamboozle but no one noticed

[bobbinwales]

//But the strength of the rebound in demand in the UK and internationally has led it to bump up against supply constraints in several markets. In the UK, these supply bottlenecks have been exacerbated by changes in the migration and trading regimes following Brexit. //
So its a stretch to read that as 'main cause'

[Peter Pedant]

TTT in denial again - end of

[dannyk13]

Does anybody really take Gulliver's posts seriously?

[gulliver1]

EU Energy Vat will be cut said Gove and Johnson when we leave .
But no one told the Chancellor . LOL

[10ClarionSt]

It's all a load of cobblers. It doesn't make any difference whether we're in the EU, or out of it. You and me, The Great Unwashed, will still continue to be treated like tihs and love it.
The ordinary bloke in the street won't see any difference.

PP falls victim to RBID! PMSL!

It's because he is an obsessive. All he spouts is Brexit is terrible, Boris is terrible blah blah blah. No view on what the alternatives might have been or how to improve things.
Even he's right, we are where we are & we've got to deal with it. I think if everyone on here agreed with him he'd still go posting his bile. Or maybe he would see it as "job done" and just go away?

[gulliver1]

We will have greater control over our Energy Market when we are out said Boris .
The Brexiteers now know what he meant ...upwards only price adjustment...

[DTCwordfan]

What a pile of piffle you come out with at times, Gulliver. You completely isolate the UK away from the world energy markets as to spot pricing.....The Uk has very little influence over gas and oil prices - and given that 65% of our tricity is generated from these two fuels, we are exposed - though the contracts are usually 85 to 95% fixed prices with some element of spot built into the deals.... BY the way, this is the principal reason that I am anti-electric cars (apart from built-in hybrids) - the car companies conveniently forget how the electricity is generated in the first place and disregard the fuel efficiency, only comparing the engines in the cars.

[gulliver1]

[email protected], You never get anything right do you
It's Boris who talks a pile of piffle, and gullible people like you believe every word of that piffle that comes out of his lying mouth.

[bobbinwales]

Ok so you and Boris both talk piffle gulliver?
