yeah right, nothing says "been and gone" as emergency training and deploying the army, and importing hundreds of pesky foreigners (which brexit was allegedly gonna protect you from), to drive fuel tankers, in order to distribute fuel to gas stations. why are you lying and trying to downplay this?

"UK government’s model, which forecast a 5 per cent hit to GDP per capita from Brexit."

this user for sure is pretty sensitive despite calling people stupid, braindead, nazi, bigot, racist, faggot, incel etc in almost every post



in polls there is always a big majority against taking in more illegal migrants, but nobody dares to speak out in public and most are still naive and dont draw the right conclusion

however a minority of people is imposing their will on everyone



some short term problems were expected, now you guys need to work on the future to make brexit a success

look at all this toxic trash from the continent, that still cant deal with a democratic decision, prove them wrong

You are saying that to someone who said he was ready to leave his country if situation was about to become too bad in UK.

and thats fine, there is no obligation for him to suffer when other people fuck up this great opportunity

keep up on nationalism Adolf.

I actually live here and it's fine. The good thing about panic buying fuel is you can't really stock up after you've got a full tank, so most petrol stations are stocked up again. Any supply issues are now localised



That's right, but I'm 27 and a chartered accountant so I'll be fine regardless. There is no personal reason for me to care, but I can't not care because it's bad for the country overall, and that is the most important influence on who/what I vote for

are you really that out of the loop? there were people filling all kinds of containers, including fucking water bottles with fuel to hoard it, lol. maybe it's "fine" where you live, but you should definitely watch the news once in a while.

except of course you're suggesting that the bbc / reuters / other news organisations are just making shit up, and the army has not in fact trained hundreds of people to drive fuel tankers, will not be deployed from monday to deliver fuel to empty gas stations, and there aren't thousands of special visas issued to import foreign lorry drivers?

it's hilarious how desperately you're trying to downplay the issue, you very much sound like boris johnson on this, lol.

you make no sense

leaving the country is the ultimate opposite of nationalism lol



always good to have a solid skill, you should be able to work anywhere in the anglosphere right?



here are the basics fender

the guy you talk to lives in the uk, you do not live in the uk

a person living there clearly knows more than you do jerking off to some articles

end of story

here are the basics, ampoo:

the guy has a reason to lie (ego protection / committed to a certain narrative / not wanting to admit he was wrong), and several well established media outlets clearly contradict his story.
i don't have to live in the UK to believe what they are reporting. anecdotes are not valid arguments.

i know you hate it when i'm right, but the FACTS (the lorry driver shortage being a direct consequence of brexit, the military will be deployed to deal with the crisis, thousands of temporary visas were issued) simply don't care about your feelings.

end of story
