Food shortages in the UK - Army to step in to keep supplies flowing

[Mindful]

Its brexit.
The government has given truck drivers exemptions if they test regularly. Meanwhile, the ethnic cleansing of European drivers has left us 100k short of truck drivers.

In other brexit news Ireland is in meltdown and the UK is reneging on a treaty it signed a few months ago.

Why don’t you ask for political asylum in the Fatherland?

I’m sure one of those people traffickers would sail you over the Channel in a leaky dingy.

Empty supermarket shelves blamed on Brexit and lorry driver shortage

Lidl has blamed empty shelves at some of its stores on 'disruptions to supply chain networks' and Brexit.

Its getting to be like wartime Britain over here. Shortages in the shops and the army stepping in to ensure vital supplies. A direct result of right wing madness.

Here is a map of Europe showing all the countries that are facing food shortages. The countries affected are coloured in green.

Subjects of the UK look like they can lose a few pounds from my view.

I don't see a problem at all.

But this is what happens when a country is on a long term socialist stint. When was the NHS started?

Actually, the obesity levels are quite shocking.

Never used to be like that.

your economy is in the trash, much as Canada and NZ are

Your absolutely full of it, aren't you?

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Some are blaming it on the NHS, after more than 600,000 Brits self-isolated after being “pinged” by the NHS Covid-19 app.

Love that socialized medicine.

‘Where is it?’: Supermarket shelves will be empty ‘in weeks’ unless ‘pingdemic’ resolved

Thecovid app is run by Capita, an American firm. It has been an absolute disaster and should have been given to the NHS. More conservative madness.

I'll keep an eye out for a TV ad with pictures of the Queen saying I can save her from starvation by sponsoring her or someone like her for my reoccurring gift of $19.00 per month. No wonder Harry fled to America. I was just at Lidl sunday and its shelves were fully stocked.

The covid app is based on Apple and Google’s technology.

We don't claim them as being "Americans", they're more in line with the CCP.

You are lucky that you dont live in brexit britain where conservative ideology is dragging us to starvation.

Will the ads have images of sad-eyed Brits behind wire fences, like they do with the puppies and kitties? And a sad-voiced narrator who sounds like she's going to break out in tears?

We will face shortages this winter most likely and we didn't exit anything but commons sense. Overly generious government covid programs led too many people not working, farmers not really caring if they get their products to market, and a shortage of long haul truck drivers. It is the bane of everything in America being predicated on the economy of scale. When there is a kink anywhere in the chain, it ripples all the way to the end consumer.

IF they can round up some minorities for that optic, AOC will probably volunteer to stand on the other side of the fence and then tweet the photo for free.

Easy solution, kick the invading muslims out cutting demand for food and use the military for drivers.

They could just revert back to prehistoric Britain and eat them. You should never waste food.

Its easy to laugh but Mrs T had to go to 3 different stores yesterday to get what we needed. Its pretty much intolerable.

I guess bringing all you Pakis over wasn't such a good idea after all.

I agree.

But would Jeremy and Diane have fared any better?

It was a sort of obligation, the colonies and all that.

And there was a shortage of Labour after WW2. The Germans did similar with the Turks.

Ludicrous. Keep grinding that axe.
