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.

What does this actually achieve to 'hate' people for voting a different way.

At this point, you should be blaming the government for fucking up the situation and not putting in counter measures to stop so many of the things we were predicting 5 years ago.

9 months old but fresh as a CO2 preserved unpicked British broccoli

Im in Cornwall and thought it was just our inability to cope with the tourists here this year but its still the same, empty shelves. Not such a problem we cant get all the food we want but did feel really bad for the pensioner in front of me at the pharmacy the other day having no chance of getting the medications she needed due to supply.

@RockingMyFiftiesNot socialist worker's rights Johnson must have missed that memo.
Now where did socialism come from I wonder, Tory concern for the less well off?

Scully your are £97 million short on the Eu subsidy you used to get as well. Buckle up you might just need Poldark to come out fighting.

I have visited 2 EU countries over the summer and have family abroad, no issues with food supplies. In fact when I went to a supermarket abroad it reminded me what an actual fully stocked supermarket looks like and how seeing empty shelves has become normalised here

Oh well if you've been on holiday twice over the summer you're clearly fully qualified to declare there are no shortages in any other EU countries.... for christ sake, if we're basing our expertise on anecdotes then there are no shortages in the U.K. as in my town (in Devon) there has not been a single item I haven't been able to get, ditto the city DH works in. Business as usual in our supermarkets

Absolutely! I wasn't meant to exclude any of the healthcare family!

Have noticed to many shortages tbh

You can just look at the news. There are no shortages in the EU of the type the UK is experiencing. I live in the EU, but you don't have to take my word for it - Google is your friend.

Lot of spaces on shelves in my part of the West Midlands.

Yes @checkedcloth I’m with you. I feel concerned that the full impact has hardly begun, there are likely to be some very tough times ahead for many if not most people.

Yes, hate is hate. Sometimes it’s justified though

Wow, words fail me

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

Yes, and the OP should be grateful she still has her NHS job and that it hasn't gone out to someone offering to do it for a lower rate

Yes the full impact has nowhere near begun yet as Johnson is delaying imposing post-Brexit customs checks on goods coming from the EU amid fears of food shortages and disruption in the run up to Christmas.

Wait til the french throw toys out of pram over subs...

@Ilovegreentomatoes

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

So bloody what ? Or are you one of these people with #bekind and Live Laugh Love plastered over everything ?,

Women don't have to be nice. We are also allowed to be all the colours of character that men are.
The constant pushing of women to comply to a docile, "nice" , polite personality at all times is pure misogyny.

Finding it amusing folk can’t get what they want to feed their family on is quite disturbing. I can’t forget fighting round 4 supermarkets for 6 hours to get my parents’ shopping just before lockdown- I didn’t see many folk laughing then.
And I don’t see why anyone would find it funny when essential ready meals are disappearing - yes they are absolutely essential for those relying on carers to feed them - cuts have got shot of meals on wheels - still it’s only the most vulnerable isn’t it 🤷🏼‍♀️
But the point that I still don’t understand is what part of the better with Brexit it is to have less choice and availability of food?

Yes there are shortages but where I live it's not so bad that we can't cobble a meal together

Quite. We are just about to sit down for a nice meal of fish fingers, pasta and curly kale with lashings of ghost chilli sauce to prevent dryness.

So at what point are we allowed to complain? When it is so bad we can’t cobble a meal together?

I wouldn't touch anything from Bernard Matthews house of horrors anyway.

I haven’t noticed any difference in food availability.

@mustlovegin

Yes, hate is hate. Sometimes it’s justified though

Wow, words fail me

Words fail you because.. people have the ability to hate another for making their lives worse due to stupidity and/or racism? Hmpf.

I think I might travel to our centerparcs holiday in France next year in a refrigerated lorry...
BIL has the appropriate licences, maybe I'll make some dosh on the black market selling tinned tomatoes and Brie 🤔

@Mancity100 - why are you Brexiteers so angry all the time? You won, get over it.

There are food shortages everywhere. Saying there aren't doesn't make it so.

@Pumperthepumper

Not sure why you're asking me how the moronic brexiteers think? I have an education so I voted, you know, correctly.
