To despise those that voted for Brexit when I’m doing my weekly shop

[checkedcloth]

So little stock on the shelves. Makes the weekly shop a complete nightmare as you just cannot meal plan anymore.

I didn’t vote for this absolute shit storm.

I voted for brexit and I’m happy I did, so a few shelves are empty, so what. You can’t build an economy on cheap labour from abroad, it’s not fair on British workers who have crap wages and crappy rights. I’m hoping a lot of industries now will have to start treating workers better with better wages and better rights
Oh my sweet sunlit-uplands child...

All the pps who think that nurses can't hold strong political views have clearly never met a nurse! It is a very political career. It is hard not to have strong views when you deal with the fallout of political decisions every day.

The NMC made a statement earlier in the year to make it crystal clear that nurses are entitled to political expression.

The idea that "good" nurses are quiet, endlessly sacrificing and compliant with authority is ultimately a misogynistic trope.

OP if the debate has now reduced to personal attacks on what sort of person you are and whether you’re fit for your job having never met you then you have very much won the argument.

What a sad state of affairs.

@Stompythedinosaur same goes for doctors.

I'm struggling to get home of the meat we usually buy. Whole chickens, chicken breast, mince etc.

@RIPIgglePiggle well why would they raise the NMW when they had people from abroad happy to work for that ?

I have been a serious political activist for over 35 years. And I am a good and compassionate doctor. You can be both!

We've managed to feed ourselves & stay in budget - some items aren't there, not enough to get hysterical over though.

Is Brexit also to blame for the shortages in the EU and US??

OP is just not coming across as a nice person in general.

The Lidl free range chicken which I cooked in a dutch pot today (Pro Cook not Le Creuset) ended up a watery mess. This never happened before Brexit.

@theDudesmummy

I am a doctor, I despise plenty of Tories people. If I feel a certain way about certain people that is how I feel. If I meet them in my personal life they would probably realise it. If I meet them in my professional life they would not.

How would you know how they voted? At work

Trouble is it goes both ways, I don’t get the point in hating someone due to voting you can just get people doing same in return

There's no Cirio Passata Rustica at Waitrose anymore. That's been missing a few weeks too

Probably affected by this:

Shops across the UK have been warned they could run out of tinned tomatoes this summer - a staple ingredient in everything from bolognese to chilli - thanks to a shortage in supply.

Suppliers are limiting how much each store gets after three years of poor harvest, according to The Grocer.

The next tomato harvest is not due to begin until August and supplies are being 'rationed' ahead of that date.

Conserve Italia, which owns brands including Cirio, is advising supermarkets to remove promotions to try to reduce demand.

Diego Pariotti, export commercial and marketing director at Conserve Italia, said: “We are basically out of stock on every single line because for the last three years we didn’t have enough to satisfy demand.”

Fires cause problems as well, The Times - 15 September 2021;

A fire at Ocado’s largest warehouse caused by its robots colliding has cost the online grocer £35 million in sales.

The online grocer said that the blaze in the summer at Erith southeast London, [16 July] would hit its full-year profits by £10 million.

Ocado previously had downplayed the impact from its third warehouse fire in three years, saying that it had affected only 1 per cent of the site, which was able to resume operations within a week. However, the business admitted yesterday that it had lost about 300,000 orders as a result of the disruption, dragging its sales down by 19 per cent in the seven weeks after the fire.

@RIPIgglePiggle thank you. I agree, if all they’ve got is an argument about my fitness to practice as a nurse then it’s pretty clear that they have no actual reasonable response.

@Ilovegreentomatoes ‘not nice person’ and ‘tiresome’ anything else you want to describe me as?

Working in hospitality, it's great to see wages increasing, and conditions are certainly changing for many in the industry in a bid to retain them. It was saddening to hear someone say "it'll be your fault that inflation will increase." Let's just stay on the minimum then eh?

Right tinned tomatoes going into my prepping store and 16kg of Dove's organic plain flour are already on the way. If I could get the builder's and material, which we can't then the loft would be converted into a covert EU refugee haven.

@seaandsandcastles - tell us what we're going to see. I'm all ears.

Remainers cannot let go of resentment and seem to be out in force tonight. Please give over, it's getting tiring now

Leavers cannot let go of blind optimism and seem to be posting juvenile, bad arguments. End of.
Please wake up, it’s looking pretty bad.

[quote Ilovegreentomatoes]@RIPIgglePiggle well why would they raise the NMW when they had people from abroad happy to work for that ?[/quote]
Because it’s up to the government to raise minimum wage. But the tories won’t because it’s not actually a priority for Tory voters.

You fundamentally misunderstand the issues here. We have an aging population and an increasingly shrinking youth population. Our economy is reliant on migration because of the nature of our society. It’s the same across the Weatern world. Our loss is other countries gain.

The reality is that we will just have more immigration from outside of the EU which is less financially beneficial for us for a multitude of reasons.

Obviously none of the racists who voted for Brexit realised this.

Why do you think when they called for the Brexit army to come and pick the fields no one turned up. They’re all retired

I have sympathy for both sides, how so you know if I voted?

"Remainers cannot let go of resentment and seem to be out in force tonight. Please give over, it's getting tiring now"

People were anti Europe for decades and let's not pretend this would have stopped if the vote had gone the other way.

Plenty of pro EU sentiment can be expected for years surely; especially when lives are being adversely affected and being made more difficult

Brexit is exhausting. The paperwork alone is a nightmare.

I voted for brexit and I’m happy I did, so a few shelves are empty, so what. You can’t build an economy on cheap labour from abroad, it’s not fair on British workers who have crap wages and crappy rights. I’m hoping a lot of industries now will have to start treating workers better with better wages and better rights

Ironic then that a lot of legislation that improved employees' rights came from the EU.

I voted remain. That said, I don't really think that you can blame all the people who voted to leave. Many were victims of bullshit and lies that politicians spewed. Not all of them were racist, intolerant etc. Many thought it was the best plan for the country.

@Ilovegreentomatoes

You say you are a nurse so you must despise 50% of your patients. You really should not be in a profession like yours with that attitude its frightening.

52% of the population did not vote for Brexit.

My bread maker has been busy making loaves for friends, we have two of the big four here, and the two German stores, lots of shortages in my part of the north east.
