Breaking: FRANCE BLOCKS LORRY MOVEMENT FROM UK - UK GOVERNMENT IN SHAMBLES, WORRIES ABOUT SUPERMARKET SUPPLY CHAINS

no more cheese and flowers

It's the EU waging war on Britain for leaving the EU. The virus is just the cover.

Oh, stiff upper lip, you know. It'll all come out in the wash, and we have a good supply of tea.

Seriously, here in the middle of Wales it's still a remote problem. Most are just being stoic, to be honest... but once the supermarkets start going dry there's going to be a lot of confusion and anxiety... if not outright panic. In the cities... I don't really want to imagine how this is going to go down.

FUCK THE SUPPLY CHAINS, HOW ARE WEGOING TO GET ADEQUATE SUPPLIES OF IMPOVERISHED AFRICANS TO KEEP COMING IN BY THE MILLIONS?

How? Germany is on a total lockdown too, as are most other European nations. They can’t cross borders and will certainly be battling this new strain very soon.

They’ll also be subject to the new vaccine pass if they want to travel.

My family live in Austria and it’s just as much of a shitshow over there.

Sure but millions of Muslim migrants from the Middle East and North Africa can continue to pour into Germany and the rest of Europe even though it is in lock down. You really believe this bullshit about the virus and the need for a lock down.

Millions of migrants? Fuck off, I’m actually pleased that’s the best you can come up with

What's the mood in the UK, UK GLPers?

They eat fucking SNAILS ffs.

Nuff said.

You think cutting off a countries food supply isn't an act of war! Get the fuck out of here you spineless wimp!

What's the mood in the UK, UK GLPers?

But I thought the point of Brexit was we are independent and don’t need food from anywhere else?

...Usual volume through Dover alone is 9-10,000 lorries a day going in both directions although often slower on a Sunday. Haulage industry chief tells me “Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse – disaster on top of disaster - I fear for supermarket supply chains...2/

Although freight coming from France is allowed through, haulage chief says “many will be reluctant to make the crossing to UK if they can’t get back given there is already congestion" End

A friend living in the UK tells me that closing Dover (they're doing this, though not directly) is like "an act of war", do you agree british posters?

I'm sorry you are all going through this. I bet the vaccine has something to do with the new strain.

Well until Britain can grow most of its own food free from EU's draconian rules, it has to import and any country or organization that stops importation of food to an island nation like Britain is effectively declaring war on them.

Who going to harvest it? cause uk workers are slow and leave...stopped employing uk workers they cant hack it.
