How to fuck up millions of lives in one easy step – Brexshit criminal clusterfuck. The stress these people must be under, and what, return to the UK in the middle of the worst recession in 300 years? Because the Govt hasn’t done shit for passporting?
On another tack, there’s a lot about hauliers going around. The 7,000 truck queues through Kent and the sea of piss it’ll generate, the tale-backs, the delays to all goods from fresh food to just-in-time parts, and this is with a deal. On the other hand what we’re seeing already is customs’ fees being applied to goods being shipped in from the mainland and delivery fees going through the roof on top of delays. Notwithstanding that we don’t have the customs capacity in terms of staff or infrastructure (building lorry parks on flood planes), nor in a No Deal do we have anywhere near enough permits for hauliers to go mainland Europe, there is the issue that hauliers from Europe, faced with suich interminable delays for which they’ll be costed as well as spending misterable days in shitty wintery Britain, just won’t come. It’s noe worth the time, cost or risk, which will further pressure other hauliers and see shortages and freight rates rocket. One geez on FB went on about how his corporate flower supply from Holland wouldn’t be affected, he thinking there’d be enough refridgerated units to cope with vaulted demand from fresh food suppliers and then for Pfizer vaccines, as well as demand from corporates at all. From another direction there will be a reduction in pressure from trucks traversing the UK to go to Ireland as the EU has done a lot to expand port capacities and direct routes by ferry. This however means a lot of local suppliers, B&Bs,rest stops, all that already in situ to cater for their demand, no longer have that trade.
It’s hard to see how amid a pandemic, after four years we’re still heading for No Deal, and even the deal we get we are not ready for. But the psychos in Downing St carry on because there is some other interest being served.
