"The British Retail Consortium" Which represents all the major food and retail chains in the UK.
Has said it expects to see food shortages and more empty shelves by the end of this week.
This is no longer about... will Christmas be OK ......It's about keeping the wheels turning and the lights on so we can get to Christmas..... Come on Boris ... time to step in. Before there is a winter of discontent under your leadership.

Its not a case of disagreeing or agreeing with gully, its looking at the facts. As someone who normally sells product to the EU, I personally am hitting brick walls trying to trade with the EU. They are making a scapegoat of the UK in a vain attempt to try and stop other Nations from thinking about coming out. Boris did not make good deals and God knows he had plenty...

It was the old story of 'They come over from (insert any EU country) taking all our jobs' story. Except no-one in the UK wants those jobs because they get more money on benefits.

22.00"Who would these Brexiteers be then ?"
Probably anyone who voted for Brexit.
Does that help you with any confusion you might have.
Don’t know about food but we have today had fuel shortages - for the first time ever we had queues at our local garage of cars waiting to top up with fuel and by mid afternoon they had ran out and had to close! Have never ever seen that in my 15 years living here, in Greater London.

22.19 Smowball, Looks like the damage of Brexit is spreading then, and heading towards the Capital.
Gulliver - it was so bizarre to see them putting sign up saying NO FUEL.
That's not shortages, smowball. That's the result of panic buying. The same reason shelves were empty of toilet rolls and dried pasta at the beginning of the pandemic. The result of the idiocy of the idiots determined to scaremonger.
That is true Naomi.
The driver shortages means the fuel logistics companies are having to prioritise where they deliver fuel to.

Khandro: "I wonder if some people have ever been without anything in their entire lives - perhaps communism is the answer? "

They have been without communism, for sure.

"They use carbon dioxide in the stun guns in slaughter houses. They also use carbon dioxide when packing foodstuff to extend the shelf life."

The UK gas concentration chambers use carbon dioxide in human slaughtering:
"Pigs are lowered, preferably in groups, into a chamber containing a minimum concentration of 70% carbon dioxide in air. The pigs then lose consciousness and must remain in the gas mixture until dead."
(Carbon dioxide is also used in some fishy slaughtering.)

With respect Naomi how can you say that is not the result of shortages?
Do you believe that there are no food shortages or fuel shortages?
//// Author 22.00"Who would these Brexiteers be then ?"
Probably anyone who voted for Brexit.
Does that help you with any confusion you might have./////

And so the insults continue
seven, that's not "human slaughtering", it's pig slaughtering
-- answer removed --
There is a shortage of cornflakes ( breakfast )
no there is no shortage - plenty in the local supermarket in the adjoining village if you care to go and get....

can I exclaim - foo! - - - I can see a classical AB clarification hovering

Power shortages, Fuel shortages ,empty shelves, Council tax to rise.
Univeral Credit to be stopped for the less well off.
Will there be a winter of discontent.
doesnt council tax only rise once a year?
I havent seen any empty shelves yet
my heating came on this morning so no power shortage here yet
universal credit is not being stopped, a covid enhancement is finishing
my nearest petrol station is open
Redhelen, There is no shortage of fuel - just a shortage of drivers to deliver it. My husband just queued to get petrol and said people are not only filling cars, but are filling cans too.

//The government is trying to prevent an outbreak of panic-buying as petrol stations are forced to close because of a distribution crisis…..While the UK doesn’t have a shortage of fuel, it does have a dearth of drivers available to deliver it.//
