Half of Tesco's Copdock was empty on Monday. No fresh chilled food or frozen goods at all.*
*They'd had a power cut, so probably can't blame that on Brexit. |
Wanna bet.  |  | | |

5% of our electricity comes from the EU, so they obviously targeted Coppock in a shameless act of revenge/as a display of their imperial might to warn other nations from leaving/or because Junker was pissed and leant on the wrong button*.
Def info.
*other conspiracy theories are available. |  |

That's really been the problem all along. Not so much Brexit itself, but the way it's been conducted. |
Indeed. We could have pursued a path where we retained single market access and membership of the customs union had we wanted to, that would have come closer to respecting a very close referendum result and was more in line with pre-referendum promises on the leave side. Instead they've chosen the path of placating the rabid fringe of the Tory Party and the gammonistas that those politicians appeal to and the country is and will continue to be a far, far, far, far poorer place for it. The damage done to this country just to appease a small minority of prvivleged white men is eye-watering. [Post edited 25 Aug 2021 13:08]

yes if only may's deal had been supported and people hadn't undermined it in the naive pursuit of a second referendum. parliament had a far better deal within its grasp. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

May's deal may have been better than Johnson's but because of the red lines she chose it was still a bad deal for the UK's interests. A second referendum once we knew what Brexit would actually look like was eminently sensible. | |

it was never going to happen - and those who opposed may in the hope of negating the referendum outcome simply made things far worse. an absolute tragedy of short sightedness. | |

The best option would have been for May (or Cameron) to appoint a cross-party commission in the two or three months after the vote to hammer out the UK negotiating position and appoint the best people to present it. Get things moving asap.
Not p1ssng around for about a year with "Brexit means Brexit" waffly nonsense. Nor flirting with no deal to get the party in line. |  |

May's deal was the political equivalent of choosing Roy Keane to manage your club because the alternative was Paul Lambert.
The initial(non legally binding) vote was essentially won on the basis of promises that could never be fulfilled, wild extrapolation and outright lies. The public should have had the right to a truly informed decision. | |

Personally, I blame the people who conned the public to vote for this utter clusterf**k in the first place, frankly.
But hey, fine people people on both sides and all that. | |

Yeah it's definitely the fault of remainers. Why am I not surprised this is still the narrative you're pushing? If May had got the leave supporting back benches in her own party and in the DUP to back her deal it would have got through parliament. | |

I largely agree, but the idea of taking no deal off the table is arguably the most idiotic idea I have ever heard in my sad sorry life.
I mean, it's almost as stupid as evacuating the army from the country you are occupying before evacuating the civilians. [Post edited 25 Aug 2021 13:33]

Double whammy on this one isn't it. As a result of Brexit, but not inevitable if they weren't embarking on their hostile environment to foreigners. They could easily add HGV drivers to the list of priority workers allowing EU drivers to temporarily fill the gap while we trained more UK drivers.
I suspect they will u-turn, as they usually do. They need to be seen to keep the swivel-eyed loons in the ERG happy on one level, but reality will force their hand. |
Perhaps they can hear the Earth breathing a little easier for the lack of pigs in blankets deliveries and sleep a little easier. | |

I watched the program Undercover Boss the other night.
Big Boss at Pickfords was wondering why they couldn't get drivers and was told by the men on the floor that they could get better money doing pretty much any other job in the UK and they also had, at times, to sleep overnight in the back of the truck. | |

Indeed. None of these seems like it should be a surprise. An already suffering sector, a reliance on EU drivers and a xenophobic, exclusionist border policy was obviously a recipe for trouble. As alluded to by Badger, the haulage industry were warning of the impacts long before we had settled or relationship with the EU and implemented our post EU regulations (many of the checks and processes around this still haven't been implemented apparently). If they'd spend a bit more time focusing on the issues rather than pandering to the ERG and their support base we could be in a better situation on any number of issues like this. |
....did you mean cheap drivers...bloody globalist institutions suppressing wages of the working cllass! | |

there was a better outcome available, but because of an arrogant refusal to accept the referendum result we now have something worse, plus boris. there was a remainer majority in parliament but seldom in political history can a strategy have been got so disastrously wrong. the conviction that they were right and electorate was wrong would only ever end one way. | |

i'm struggling to see how you can present the remainer strategy following the referendum result as a success. in parliament, and supported whole heartedly by people like you, they produced a final outcome which was far worse than could have been achieved by accepting the result and backing may. they also gave boris a stonking great majority. the belief that they were going to change the referendum outcome rates as one the biggest most delusional failings in recent political history. and you thing i'm the myopic one. jeez. | |

Again, it's the same one-sided narrative from you that you've been peddling for years. I disagree with your myopic take. | |
