Indeed.

We voted for Brexit, not the Johnson highly damaging version of Brexit that the Kremlin loves.


What a strange picture the Guardian uses for its article! All EU asparagus finished some months ago and even our supply in Spain is now sourced from Peru. Hardly Brexit at fault!

Johnson needs to "Step down" not "Step up".

To clarify the post - Spain is cracking down, at long, long last, on the 'under the radar' UK citizens that have resided here illegally. Driving their UK registered, non MOT'd, untaxed cars. Not declaring or paying tax anywhere but most happily claiming their winter fuel allowance amongst others. All us living here legally say good riddance to them.

How very odd. I thought being in the EU they would be powerless to do anything about these people and would have to leave the EU to take back control?

exactly what we voted for #452 - cardboard pictures of food instead of actual food

[tweet]1451593344434544660[/tweet]


Following on from yesterday's discussions I had to smile at The Telegraphs take on the cardboard cutouts;


Inevitably, die-hard Remainers are blaming all these shortages on Brexit. No doubt they imagine that, if things go on like this for long enough, one day the public will vote to rejoin the EU. They are, however, forgetting one crucial detail.

Children can’t stand vegetables. So if they’re led to believe that Brexit has caused a shortage of vegetables, they’ll be grateful to Brexit for evermore. When they turn 18, therefore, they certainly won’t vote to rejoin the EU. They’ll vote to stay jolly well out of it.

In effect, then, these shortages are helping to create a whole new generation of Brexiteers. It wouldn’t surprise me if Boris Johnson planned it like this all along.

That is superb. And who said satire is dead :lolol:

I hate to ask, but it isn't actually real is it ?

Good news and bad news. According to reports, large numbers of bus drivers all over Britain are quitting their jobs so that they can become lorry drivers instead.

The good news is that, in time, shops will no longer have shortages of goods. The bad news is they’ll have shortages of shoppers, instead. Because with no one left to drive buses, we won’t be able to get to the shops any more.

Perhaps the bus companies will raise wages, in order to tempt the ex-bus drivers back. Then the shoppers will be able to return to the shops. Just in time for the shops to run out of goods, now that all the new lorry drivers have gone.

Still, there’s no point worrying about that at the moment. Because something even more peculiar is happening in the here and now. Embarrassed by the gaps on their shelves, supermarket bosses have hit upon an unexpected solution.

They’re covering up the gaps with cardboard cut-outs, designed to look like the food that’s missing.

You may have seen them in your local supermarket’s fruit and vegetable aisle. In the space where, say, a crate of asparagus should be, there’s a sheet of cardboard, decorated with a picture of lots of asparagus. The pictures are all life-size and eerily realistic, so from a distance it looks as if the aisle is full to bursting with delicious fresh produce.


For whoever is producing these cardboard cut-outs and selling them to supermarkets, it must be a nice little earner. I fear, however, that the idea contains an unfortunate flaw.

The worse the food shortages get, the bigger the market for these cardboard cut-outs will be. But, if there still aren’t enough lorry drivers, supply won’t be able to keep up with demand. The cardboard cut-outs won’t get delivered.

Then the supermarkets won’t just have run out of fresh vegetables. They’ll have run out of fake vegetables, too.

Inevitably, die-hard Remainers are blaming all these shortages on Brexit. No doubt they imagine that, if things go on like this for long enough, one day the public will vote to rejoin the EU. They are, however, forgetting one crucial detail.

Is this OBR report allowing for the Rules of Origin requirements that kick in for our exports from January I wonder? That's going to be another cost/delay to factor in....drip drip drip this is going so well.

It's taken less than 9 months (despite a pandemic in between) for it to become blindingly apparent to even the most ardent Brexiteer, that it is a complete and utter clusterf***. The 248 Leave supporters at the top of this thread are nowhere to be seen, now someone needs to take responsibility for actually sorting it out :shrug:

We have Johnson's 'Get Brexit Done' Government trying everything possible to re-open the Brexit negotiations and ignore the 'Good deal' that they negotiated whilst we, as a country prove unable to implement half of the basic deal negotiated, with no answer to the unimplementable Northern Ireland Protocol and no plan to implement any import controls whatsoever in order to 'Take Back Control'.

It really wasn't completely obvious what would happen to anyone with an IQ in excess of their shoe size, was it :shootself

Don't worry, if we put up more Union flags and try to start a fish war with France it delays and deflects people from seeing what has actually happened !..... Johnson has to keep spinning more plates !
