When you read the stories about shops covering empty spaces with pictures of the missing items to give the shoppers the impression that there isn't a problem you think surely people can't be fooled that easily.

RobJames 881 Posted November 18, 2021 'The revelations come after the Treasury’s watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility, warned the Brexit trade deal will cut GDP by 4 per cent, swiping £80bn a year from the UK economy.' So that's £62bn worse off. Then £80bn plus every year afterwards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would have crippled our wage structure this year - if he was still with us. Massive savings too on James Maddison. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobJames 881 Posted November 18, 2021 " “On returns related to small boat arrivals … the answer in this year is five”, later adding: “There is not a returns agreement with the European Union in place at the moment.” That's why they are coming. Since the UK left the EU, it is open season, as they cannot be returned, as when the UK was in the EU. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/16769401/5-migrants-deported-this-year/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"There are no shortages" you claim and "haven't been for over a month". I'm looking forward to your explanation of this story posted today in your beloved Daily Mail : https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/market-report-newsagent-chain-mccoll-s-crashes-as-supplies-dry-up/ar-AAQPxjo?ocid=msedgntp MARKET REPORT: Newsagent chain McColl's crashes as supplies dry up Newsagent chain McColl’s crashed to an all-time low after supply chain issues left it struggling to fill its shelves. Shortages of key products, lorry drivers and workers at distribution centres have intensified over the past three months. The shares fell 18.6 per cent, or 3.35p, to 14.64p.

Yet another classic Swindle own goal. When we were in the EU we were able to return migrants to the European country that they travelled from under the "Dublin III Regulation" https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dublin-iii-regulation. That option has now been removed. Had you bothered to read about the consequences of brexit you would have known that it inevitably made the removal of illegal immigrants much harder.
