Consequences Of Brexit [Part 9] Read First Post Before Posting

[Guest makapaka]

Just been in the co-op and there was no fresh food at all in the entire shop.

 

all fruit and vegetables, meat shelves etc just completely empty.

 

 Unbelievable situation we’ve got ourselves in.

Then there's the inevitable divergence from standards that the trade deals the UK does with other third countries will involve.

This is the crux of the matter. Arguing that we don't need border checks because our standards are aligned only works while the standards stay aligned. Brexiters, including government ministers, have repeatedly argued that we don't need border checks because our standards are aligned but also claim we should be able to unilaterally change our standards in the future without it having any effect on border checks. The EU and remainers aren't stupid enough to fall for that so it makes you wonder who they are aiming their arguments at.

You need to get there much earlier.  As they say the early bird catches the worm.

That's your response to empty shelves, get there a bit earlier? And those who can't, for a myriad of different reasons, they go without? WW2 spirit and all that usual Brexity jigoistic nonsense?

That’s the way it is now folks.

 

From the mouth of an Brexit extremist .

Surely the WW2 spirit would mean rationing. Whilst that might enable more people to get (some) veg., I don't think even brexiters' wish to return to the past involves reintroducing rationing.

You are lying. Sorry to be so blunt but your just post isn't credible.

 

 

@Magilla please take some time to read the post you responded to, understand it, and answer accordingly because your reply makes no sense. Thanks.

Two things are undeniable.

Firstly it is obvious that supply chains have been disrupted and there are certainly gaps on shop shelves.

Secondly,prices are rising and will continue to do so.

Arguments may ensue as to the multitude of reasons for this ,but if barriers are erected to both the free flow of goods and services,and to the ability to employ foreign labour then the outcome is inevitable.

Some may argue that it’s a price worth paying.

To my mind it’s a self imposed burden,with no discernible up side.

It's not my fault you lack the ability to understand the response.

To you, clearly... other respondents appear to have made sense of it, without issue.

No I’m not lying - why would I lie?

 

I spoke to a shop assistant about it - they’d had no deliveries for two days - were expecting one late tonight.

 

no fruit and veg, no fresh meat.

Name the store.

I was in the Abbeydale Road Tesco a couple of weeks ago.  No milk. A whole wall of milkless shelves. Not even a pint of expensive gold top.

 

Sainsburys had hardly any the other day, and very little bread.

 

It happens. It’s happening more. It’s going to happen even more.

 

Hurrah for Brexit.
