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.

It’s all fine because we are saving so much money that we will have billions more for the NHS... oh, wait...

Totally with you OP. We knew what it would mean and yet we voted for it. We voted to duck ourselves over based on a stack of lies. And do the lying £&@“s suffer as a result? No. Of course not. They are richer.

Bring on the revolution?

I've done a Morrison's online shop today & there is hardly any meat to choose from & everything else has nearly half out of stock. I dread to think how it will be getting towards Christmas.

I am in the North and haven’t noticed any shortages
I'm in the north too and the local large supermarket now has so many empty shelves it's filling them with pictures of food. It's like Moscow in the 1980s - not sure that's the look Bozo was going for.

It's Remainer's fault if only we had believed more and weren't so beastly it would have worked. A bit like the ending of Scooby-Doo...

What? Here we are 90% vaccinated. In an EU country. Do you really believe the crap you are spouting?

UK has administered vaccines to completely vaccinate 69.5% and EU largely caught up after a bad start and has now administered enough to vaccinate 62.5%. The point was the early start in the UK which was a clear advantage. Which is nothing to do with food shortages which will be due to a mix of issues including Brexit - hence EU countries also affected - and will deteriorate due to CO2 shortage which is definitely not Brexit related in the slightest. The interesting things about this thread are the level of remainer anger over limoncello and the poor reasoning skills. If you all feel that badly, do something productive about it and see if you can gain any traction.

@Notthemessiah
we can try and make it the best of it

Can you please explain what exactly I can do to 'make the best of it'? What opportunities has Brexit brought me that I can take advantage of?

@cardibach

Brexit isn't going to be reversed, so we can either rage against it, keep hating everyone and make it worse, or we can try and make it the best of it What on Earth difference will what I do make to anything, *@Notthemessiah*? I can’t make it better or worse and suggesting that I can is ridiculous.

That's the spirit! As my Dad used to tell me, if at first you don't succeed, give up (or was that Homer Simpson, I forget).

One thing you could do to make it better is not to write negative posts on popular discussion sites - just a suggestion :)

Was just talking to my DH earlier about this.The situation is getting quite bad where we are.Not only in shops but restaurants etc and my doctors won't do blood tests unless urgent do to equipment shortages

There is a whole series of crises. If you had to deal with them, would you pick Johnson, Truss, Raab, Gove et al to sort them out? I wouldn‘t trust them to go down to the local MacDonalds and come back with the right order.

Try despising those people who came to the uk, made a great living, had their free health care, free child education and when things got hard ....fucked off.

Clear advantage how?

Can't work out if this is a joke or just you completely in denial about what is happening.

And bought a house in their own country

But you can't blame them for doing this

Tbf I am not sure there are many left in the HoC on any benches I'd trust to deal with our current crop of crisis. I think thats the biggest crisis of all - a complete lack of competence.

I'll save my ire for the shitshow of a government thanks. Boris chaos reigns - funny that who would have thunk.

From the Torygraph -

British manufacturing leaders fear an industrial collapse over the winter as spiralling gas and electricity prices overwhelm the country’s energy defences.

Wafer-thin gas reserves have left the British economy almost uniquely vulnerable to an extreme global supply squeeze, and dangerously reliant on cross-Channel interconnectors that may be curtailed if Europe itself faces power blackouts and serious industrial stoppages.

Tbf I am not sure there are many left in the HoC on any benches I'd trust to deal with our current crop of crisis. I think thats the biggest crisis of all - a complete lack of competence.

I disagree. There are some decent ones on both sides - Yvette Cooper, David Gauke, David Lammy, Hilary Benn, even Jeremy Hunt. I'm sure there are others. It's a real weakness in the Tory party to have let it become what's essentially UKIP now. I think they will pay the price in years to come.

You should probably spare a little ire for the people voting the Tories in.

I think yabu to blame it all on brexit. Whilst it has a factor, it’s worse because if Covid.

One example, yes lots of lorry drivers have gone back to Europe. But there is also massive waiting list of people in the uk waiting to take their HGV test, but couldn’t because of Covid. If HGV tests carried on as normal last year, the lorry driver shortage wouldn’t have been so bad. So it’s a double whammy.

Also, infections are high. Which means lots of people in SI = less people in store to stack the shelves etc …

Basically it’s a perfect storm. But it can’t all be blamed on brexit.

You also need to get over it … you are only making yourself more depressed with all your hatred towards people who voted brexit. At the end of the day, is it Joe public’s fault for voting for brexit? Or the politicians who spread ‘the lies’ …??

I don't want to get cocky and jinx myself but around here there are no shortages and even ocado has been great lately

Shelves are full here (Greater Manchester)

Brexiters said that things would be better (not the same, and not worse) after Brexit,

I think they mainly said that at least we would not have politicians from other countries that we couldn’t vote out making laws in our country.

It’s headline news today how CO2 shortages are affecting supply chains as well as lorry driver shortages all over Europe. It’s not Brexit that’s causing this it’s primarily the pandemic.

True - all the competent adults have all been kicked out. I'm 60 and we are heading for a re-run of the 70s hopefully not with rocketing inflation. So totally out of their depth flag-waving and sloganeering to paper over the cracks where policy and competency ought to be and decent human beings like Sir Keir ridiculed and vilified.

Imagine if we had a vote along the lines of 'everyone over 60 should have their assets taken away.' Then it was narrowly voted through. Then we said to the over 60s 'get over it, it was voted for' as they felt upset while their quality of life deteriorated.

Which laws did you object to?

That's the true Brexiteer spirit!
Despise an immigrant and point any blame at them.
