Are experiencing Empty shelves again , of fresh fruit and veg also cold goods .
Some people are blaming covid, but supermarkets are blaming Brexit.
Long queues of Lorries have formed at Calais trying to get supplies into the UK ,
as New year import control of goods from the E/U begins to bite.
Super market workers are saying delivery lorries are just not arriving....(they should know)..
The truth of the matter is that many supermarkets have had their way of working disrupted, nearly all of them work on a just in time basis. The disruption is for many reasons.

Gully,
Everything you have posted is untrue.
I didn’t vote Brexit myself and evidence that it is failing badly, I would seize upon. But the stuff you offer to back up your case is quite clearly wrong.
You undermine the Remain cause by constantly posting dodgy and misleading evidence.

We were promised a lot of things from Brexit.
If we are not getting those benefits, it is worth noting and recording them.

Vulcan, I wrote that because you seemed to imply that, because your local supermarket shelves were full, the OP was telling porkies. Distribution from area to area no doubt varies.
//Super market workers are saying delivery lorries are just not arriving//
This one is saying we has some occasional delays but problem as been covid.... noones ever mentioned brexit here in wales. No shortages of toilet roles & othe essentials here.
