Try getting in one it’s full of fishermen, it’s the next property boom caves on beaches.

The houses near the harbour are too expensive, sold to second home owners. The fishermen have to live half an hour's drive from their boats.

Are you going to say anything sensible? The rest of the silly Brexiters seem to have gone.

You’re like a little ray of sunshine Vic, if I’m ever feeling down(you seen the price of fish?) I pop on here and you brighten up my day.

God bless you:-)

I doubt it, it’s as big as a none story as Boris’s OJ Simpson joke yesterday

The Frost appointment is a big story, especially as it is a result of Govt infighting and disharmony. It also potentially sidelines Gove, although given the problems manifesting themselves daily due to the paucity of the deal, giving Frost the poisoned chalice of sorting out the problems has a certain karma to it.

The OJ gaff is just Johnson being a colossal tit, so not news.

I thought it was quite funny.

It's like appointing Guy Fawkes as the Houses of Parliament Fire Safety Officer.

Just a reminder that Brexit isn’t going well for all the sectors of the economy that trade with Europe, and the government are in denial.

Has anyone genuinely experienced this, as the article suggests?

I am not saying this isn’t happening but I’ve been in Aldi, Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s, Tesco etc. all since January 1st and not a single time have I witnessed empty shelves or fruit/veg baskets.

So what?
All that shows is that the large companies have invoked contingency plans that have worked. It doesn’t help the thousands of companies that are struggling with imports and exports to/from Europe which was the point of the article.

Just because it hasn’t noticeably impacted each person in the country yet doesn’t mean it isn’t having a huge impact on a significant minority.

The fact we’ve got a FTA means that the general effect of introducing barriers to our main trading partner will be somewhat mitigated but it doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

My local Tesco has stopped selling belgian buns. That's about all i've seen. (You can still get belgian eclairs though)

I was asking a simple question.

The article you posted was being disingenuous, wasn’t it?

The American audience will see that and think we’re turning into Venezuela.

An irrelevant one and no it wasn’t being disingenuous.

And why would the Americans getting their news from a centre left website think that? The nutters who are most likely to think that get their news from Fox and other right wing outlets and are beyond sensible discussion.

Well showing empty supermarket baskets/shelves suggests a food crisis.

The empty shelves pic was related to the caption below it which was a link to another related article. All news sites do this, even the Mail.

And now you're copying their tactics to suggest a narrative that isn't accurate! Bravo!
