EU warns it will not accept pig in a poke Brexit.

No no no Peter...Ears has already told us we must be happy with our new Passport and 13p off a bottle of Bogan wine.....

Out of interest if anyone doubts shelves are missing a lot of food products just stick your head around into Aldi at Greenbank

No shortages where I am so it must be just you looking for empty shelves.

Shelves in Morrisons Tavistock absolutely rammed every day.

Scare story bullshit.

Not much need for supermarkets in Tavy, people eat their relatives instead

Sainsbury's has more empty shelves than full, and Tesco's was pretty bad last week.

Don't do Morrisons because they don't do scan and shop, Mrs PP is a big fan of that.

There are always things missing in supermarkets but not on the scale harve would like.
More remainer lies from ATD’s lie master general.

Thank goodness for the free market now we are a sovereign nation, Power is so much cheaper.

Are we saying that there aren’t any shortages, or are we arguing that the shortages aren’t caused by Brexit?

(FWIW I think it’s a combination of Covid and Brexit).

Yes, it's been called a "black swan event" which mustn't be confused with a day-out in Dawlish

After all the cash Putin has paid to the tories one would hope he would treat us better!

An admirable display of what happens when an island nation relies on its neighbours for everything that they use. I'm struggling to see why there is disparity in prices in the EU? All for one and one for all? Lol.

Feck off wanker I've still got my old passport and fully expect it to work as it always has done. Instead of all your lazy cut and pastes why don't you google some actual news ie. the worldwide increase in shipping costs? Or read my story from the other day when I showed how food prices are going through the roof in Sri Lanka. Or how about actually reading the whole of the story you posted the other day about how Brexit has pushed up the price of shipping containers where it actually mentioned it as well? Wholesale energy prices are a global problem not just for us and funnily enough I was advocating building a nuclear power station here instead of buying nuclear energy from France? Of course we are building one now but all the profits will go to the Japenese whilst our electricity will go up in price yet again?
I've been saying for ten years that the UK needs a massive kick up the arse you need a full on brick in the face mate, not sure if you don't want to think or you are just unable to?

I had to buy Lemongrass in a jar the other day in Tescos because they didn't have any fresh. My wife told me that tescos never have fresh Lemongrass you have to go to Morrisons for that. I thought for a minute maybe Harve was right but no it is another bullshit scare story.
Seriously has anybody in the last twelve months had to return from the shops without what they wanted?
I seriously think the main problems we have from Brexit is that the whole of the Commons and most of the media spent five years trying to prevent Brexit instead of planning for it.

So the failure of the tory negotiated agreement is the fault of the media? The fault of MPs.

Will boris and lord frost ever have to take responsibility for anything?

A big boy did it and ran away?

Yes one hundred per cent. When you have a looming crisis (in your eyes not mine) any normal person would plan for the event, they (the media and the Commons that is, you said Goovernment) spent five years trying to stop it rather than planning for it. Also why should Boris apologise for acting on a democratic vote of the people of the GB that is his job for fooks sake. As for any proof of the wholesale destitution that you all wring your knickers about where actually is it? Bar labour shortages in care, hospitality and truck drivers (which have improved UK wages and financial security for millions) I don't see any real downsides other than my passport still works and I can still despite all assurances to the contrary visit the EU without any hassle? Obviously I am ignoring the gas story as yet again it is a global or Covid led crisis not Brexit as the remoaners would have us believe, here's another dose of reality,

The boss of a US company that supplies 60% of the UK's food-grade carbon dioxide supply has held crisis talks with the government over shortages.
Tony Will, chief executive of CF Industries, arrived in the UK earlier after the firm stopped production at its two fertiliser plants because of soaring wholesale gas prices.
Food firms are warning a shortage of CO2 is threatening produce supplies.
High global demand for gas has been blamed for the recent surge in prices.
Carbon dioxide is used to stun animals prior to slaughter and in dry ice form to keep food fresh for storage and transport. It is a by-product of fertiliser manufacturing.
Last week, CF Industries, the UK's biggest CO2 producer, stopped production at its Teesside and Cheshire fertiliser plants "due to high natural gas prices". Wholesale gas prices have jumped by 250% since January, according to Oil & Gas UK, the industry group.

You will notice that is a US company? Fook all to do with Brexit? Again?

This is going to be a shocking winter for many.....perfect storm engineered by that culpable clown Johnson of Covid and Brexit topped off by energy sanctions on usage coming and its going to bite hard for many

Forget pubs as regards beer. Lack of CO2 is putting that to bed

Many are going to have to choose between eating (if theres anything on the shelves) and heating. No wonder so many were clearly panic buying at Aldi Saturday

How the feck as members of the G7 have we allowed this one evil animal to do so much damage to our country........I do my my bit make no mistake but so many sit around do nothing and just think he's a bit of a lad

He's not he's a certifiable cvnt of the highest order

Bozo's brexit, the single biggest catastrophe to befall this country in 80 years.  I don't completely blame the brexiteer voters per se as they were lied to time and time again by bozo and farage and now many will realise this, albeit far too late.  A responsible government can and should reverse this.

This is the sort of scummy bunch of sphincters Lord Frost is having to negotiate with - I hope he counts his fingers after shaking hands with them....

After being caught breaching WTO rules on illegal subsidies to the Franco/German Airbus Industrie ( who else?) they continued with these subsidies until the WTO finally cracked and issued fines. Because of this jiggery-pokery, Boeing lost the title of the world leader in the sale of commercial aircraft.


You may recall my post: Jul 19, 1157pm. The Swiss called off treaty negotiations with Brussels as they were required to "submit" to the rulings issued by the European Court of Justice. I believe the Swiss saw this as an attempt for a creeping take over by this insidious bunch of chancers. Naturally you saw this as a chance for some Mr S levity. However, in a following post I invited you proffer the Swiss some of your sage advice which, very much true to form, never got answered.

He who sups with the devil needs a facking long spoon.

Do you mean the unelected Lord Frost, who was party to the agreement signed with the EU, who is now trying to worm his way out of it because he and Boris didn't think the EU would stick to it?

This, despite Boris trumpeting the deal as one of the best ever?

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why this country is no longer trusted on the world stage. But then we don't need anyone else do we, we have an Empire. Or we did, once.

Global Britain, my arse.

Geddon Boris you're the man it has to be said today. Dont let them trouble makers grind you down......

I can hardly believe that Biden has agreed (apparently care of Johnson) to open the USA to UK and EU travellers

24 hour pass Boris....

A US company producing the majority of the CO2 required here, yet another industry sold off cheap to politician's chums, Rail, Water, Energy, Banks, then sold for far more to Foreign governments and tax dodgers.

I will be fine, good job, near retirement, savings, don't live in little england.

Cheers.

AUKUS certainly seems to have got a few onion [plenty of them, as well as everything else, in stock again today btw] strings in a twist. Le perfidious Albion strikes again! Poor blighters never could get Agincourt out of their psyche.

We live 6 months in Spain, October to April, and 6 months in the UK. Now we can't. Why? Because of Brexit. We can stay 90 days, but then have to come back for 90 days. Freedom of movement is severely restricted and going back and forward every 3 months is inconvenient and seriously expensive. We have property there, a bank account, health insurance, but we fall into the 'tourism' trap of the 90 day rule.

Just reminding and informing folk what sort of self-centered egoistic we are dealing with here. We all know what is most impotant to you.


Apart from Lord Frost being in Boris' cabinet, didn't the unelected Noble Lord Mandelson serve in Gordy Broon's cabinet from 2008 on his return from Brussels? Nothing new afterall.

Frost and Johnson made mistakes which were a bad lapse in judgement. However, if it were detrimental to the wellbeing of the country it would be an even bigger lapse in not to rectify it. My country right or wrong has been used on far more serious occasions.

It seems the Australian Government trust us to build some of their new submarines. The rest of the world will catch up in time.

Incidentally, notice how the French Government claim they've been "stabbed in the back" over the submarine deal? It's truly ironic that only today I brought up a link showing how the French were part and parcel of a subsidy deal that hamstrung Boeing.

As anticipated, no helpful advice heading Switzerlands way from Mr S.

How's the Hinkley Point nuclear power station coming along? I say this because Britain could have built it once upon a time until Gordy Broon sold it off to the bleeding French - and now the taxpayers are paying through the nose because of it....

If you don't fancy dear old England there's always France. Mind you, Monsieur Barnier has threatened to stop immigration from outside the EU if elected to the French Presidency.
