Davkaus Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I went to two large supermarkets before the game today. The only fruit was citrus, the only veg was potato and some broccoli and cauliflower, other than that the produce shelves were completely bare. It's like the first few weeks of covid again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the first few weeks of covid again There are empty shelves here in various supermarkets. Whole sections of items are just not there one week and then appear again. It's a lack of drivers and the supply chain in general as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I do like the situation we have now where Brexit gets the blame for everything, whether it’s the cause or not. Just like how the EU were blamed for everything wrong in the country regardless of true cause. We’re half way to going full circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate responded with "does it taste as salty as remoaners tears?" I responded "**** me, you're not STILL on board with that?" No response and no backing him up from others on there I know were enthusiastic Brexiteers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Remoaners' tears are all about the betrayal of the country by the traitors' Brexit, and the useful idiots that bought into the con. Last Brexiter I spoke meaningly to on the matter not only realises it was a sham, he's looking to leave the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the most forthright out of all my Brexity friends. Others that have seen the light have been more discreet about their change of heart, but there are signs on FB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you thank him for me on behalf of my kids who probably will never have the means to make such a lifestyle choice.

He's realising he's likely shat the bed for his own kids. I do think humbled remorse is better than living in angry denial, or the silence of shame? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bit of warm nostalgia. Looks like Sunak is pushing ahead with the renegotiated deal. My hunch is the following likelihood of outcomes: 40% the DUP / Tory nutters hate it, but it still all goes through with Labour support. Sunak survives the grumbling and stays in power - albeit even weaker than now. 35% the above, but Sunak pushes it through with Labour votes and the party goes ape-shit enough via ministerial resignations (Braverman, Baker etc) to push Sunak out and bring Johnson back in. 20% the Tory nutters and DUP grudgingly say that it's fine, 90% of Parliament on the face of it is fully on the same page, and Sunak gets a pretty decent ratings boost as a result. 5% It lands so badly that it results in some sort of confidence vote, collapsed government and early election. I may have missed a possible outcome that doesn't fit into one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 If it doesn’t go through then there’s no hope for the UK for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have missed a possible outcome that doesn't fit into one of those. No formal binding vote on it at all? He’s not going to want to be seen as weak and needing Labour votes to get it through. He’s not going to want be seen as weak and giving in to the throbbing backbench ERG brigade and pulling the agreement because throbbers throbbing scares him. TBH he could take a lead from Johnson’s behaviour, who chucked a bunch of people out who wouldn’t vote the way he wanted. It would be utterly delicious to see him remove the whip from the likes of Johnson, Francois, Truss and others. …but that’s just wishful thinking on my part.
