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.

Sorry, I`m not interested in your private spats.

[Bobbisox1]

Thing is, I’m not uniquely private as far as spats are concerned, that’s what he does , that’s his makes up

[Bobbisox1]

Anyway I’ll agree to disagree with you on our view of him

[237SJ]

I don't have a view of him. I couldn't care less who he is (or anyone else on here) I was just commenting on his opinion

[AuntPG]

Its not a case of disagreeing or agreeing with gully, its looking at the facts. As someone who normally sells product to the EU, I personally am hitting brick walls trying to trade with the EU. They are making a scapegoat of the UK in a vain attempt to try and stop other Nations from thinking about coming out.

Boris did not make good deals and God knows he had plenty of time to try. The Rule Britannia brigade were so wrapped up in the thought of billions for the NHS ( which was never going to happen) and control over our Borders ( ok whatever) that the thought of businesses no longer being able to trade with ease did not even cross their minds, I mean why would it? That, coupled with other events not even dreamed of in 2016 have resulted in where we are now. There ARE shortages -for whatever reasons, and Brexit plays a role in that. So some may joke about it, take the mickey, but we are heading towards shortages of certain foods, possibly fuel and a huge hike in energy prices. No, we will not starve and will not need care packages from abroad, neither will we be getting into dinghies trying to flee the UK, but Brexit, in my opinion, was a huge mistake and in years to come we will see the repercussions both Politically and Economically. It is, and always will, be a huge mistake to fall out with your close neighbours, even if you can't stand them.

I don't understand why gulliver is still here, he breaks Site Rules every day.

[AuntPG]

I've seen no breach of Site Rules.

[Bobbisox1]

At the end of the day Brexit is here to stay and was voted for democratically so going on about now isn’t going to change that

[gulliver1]

APG 20.25 has just got to be the Best answer on this thread, very well put APG.

[gulliver1]

All Boris has to do is make it easier for E/U HGV drivers to get into U/K.
Not put a block on them. Boris won't have to do without.

[AuntPG]

People voted for Brexit on the back of false promises and total lies.

[Bobbisox1]

And it won so tell me, what’s the point of all these what if posts?

[gulliver1]

Boris used Brexit to get himself elected and the British Public fell for it
"lets get Brexit done" said Boris, and it's beginning to look like you were done.

[AuntPG]

We are out of the EU. We can discuss/complain if we want, its a free country we are not in China.

[Bobbisox1]

Well carry on, for the good it’ll do

[AuntPG]

Its called intelligent debate Bobbi the world revolves around people having different opinions.
To dumb it down, your favourite on Strictly gets voted off -do you not have the right to complain, say it shouldn't have happened, that the other dancer should have gone? Someone says shut up bobbi they were democratically voted off suck it up!

[Bobbisox1]

Dunno, I don’t watch it :0))

[AuntPG]

The Farmers are doing their job growing the crops to feed the Nation
Problem is no one to pick them "migrant workers returned to their own country" Because the brexiteers didn't want them in the UK.

[Bobbisox1]

Who would these Brexiteers be then?
I don’t mind people who come here to work,it’s the economic migrants I have a problem with
