Thank You Europe

[Canary42]

It's good to see we've still got friends in Europe in spite of the blinkered Brexiteer xenophobes kicking them in the teeth.

I dare say that there will be a few Euros in profit floating about somewhere...

[naomi24]

Haha! Doubtless, shoota.

It's called business, Canary. It's what businessmen do. When they see their trade interrupted by either the activity or inactivity of politicians they find alternatives. I doubt this "airlift" was done simply out of the kindness of anybody's hearts. It would also be nice if you stopped continually referring to those who voted to leave as xenophobes.

[Spicerack]

Stop reading Yahoo! It's for children, not old fools.

[drmorgans]

What other reason could have caused people to vote Leave? A belief that the EU was heading for a European super-state, owned and controlled by Germany, a desire to trade and restore relationships with other countries, including the Commonwealth, disgust at the way it had treated members such as Greece, Italy and Spain?

Its Aldi, they know how to keep the wheels turning, and of course its in their own interests to do so.

[lankeela]

So are they giving us this for nothing as an act of charity? Of course not they are a business! Gets the award for the most misleading headline of the year.

[anneasquith]

Wrong audience canary . LOL .

[teacake44]

^Yep, you're right the media are creating more panic than need be. Aldi have big expansion plans for the UK, already in progress their not going to let the French disrupt, or anyone else.

[emmie]

[emmie]

12.04 Not all, and not all the time. A good business don't just rely on one supplier.

[gingejbee]

Several supermarkets are mentioned ...emmie, you can't grow many things in this country in winter.
"Sparce supermarket shelves"...really? I've just come from Waitrose -fully stocked and no queues to get in or out.

[emmie]

waitrose was getting busy as i left - i didn't go in as get my shopping online now

[teacake44]

Yes emmie you're add is correct, and Aldi are hoping to get more from the British famer, were other supermarkets have gone abroad, hence the panic of shortage at the moment with lorries stuck in traffic.

//still got friends in Europe //
Except Macron, who is the one holding up a deal over fishing.

[emmie]

Danny seems that falls on some deaf ears

[youngmafbog]

We have plenty of friends in Europe, how many more times we voted out because of the EU, not its citizens.

And, as pointed out above and I have written many times on here business will always function regardless of politics.

But hey why let facts get in the way of a good remoaner rant eh?
