Covid?

Brexit?

Both?

I notice it’s taken McDonald’s to run out of milkshakes for it to actually cause people to lose their shit.

I read that 14,000 EU lorry drivers left jobs in the UK since brexit, and only 600 have returned.

Covid caused loss of tests to be cancelled.

 

CONSISTENCY fellas 

Fuck me...

11 years, 4 months, 18 days, 19 hours and 19 minutes since a Labour Government.

It's still their fault somehow.

I thought that record had become unplayable by now...

Played so often no grooves left.

I voted for Blair and , as usual, Labour turned out to be a shower of lumpy shit.

My only ever vote for Labour.

Im not surprised in the slightest about the extra stuff. An absolutely fucking awful decision and I hope they get voted out as a result of it.

At least subsequent governments haven’t made similar mistakes by handing out dodgy contracts. They’ve LEARNED from previous errors.

tee hee

My personal favourite of Tory ineptness in recent times is when Chris Grayling, then transport secretary, gave a company a contract to open up a ferry route for emergency supplies. Unfortunately the company in question had no ferries and no port contract. £33 million of tax payers money down the drain in out of court settlements. Absolute fuckwits have been running our country for the last ten years.

You need to accentuate the positives and you’ll live longer

* it’s not really your money. YOUR tax money is spent on the services you actually use.

* Someone did well out of it. Be happy for them. And remember they will have spent some of that £33m on pasties, booze and BRITISH prostitutes.

* They didn’t overcrowd the ports.

 

Todays small dose of misery from my suppliers in the Far East.....

It seems that parts of China as well as being riddled with COVID, are now seeing power shortages. A couple of the factories that we deal with are down to 4 and 5 day working weeks, in order to help conserve supply. One of the places we deal with to a lesser extent, is only allowed to operate 3 days a week. All this will commence, once they return from "Golden Week" which is basically all of China having the next 7 days off work altogether for some public holidays. The lazy fuckers 🙂

Obviously, this will hit supply of all sorts of products just in time for Christmas......

We’ve got huge supply issues currently and they keep shutting various factories of ours due to parts shortages so they just shut the fuckers down. Shut for a week off you pop on full pay you lucky cunts and we might open Next week will let you know. 
 

Im trying to figure out precisely how brexit has caused it as I’m sure as shit it has. It causes everything over here so them cunts over the water must be Toiling cos of it too surely?

Shirley most Christmas stock will be on the water at the very least at the port even with all the delays?

If I can't buy a 4ft felt Santa Claus, stuffed with soiled bandages, that plays 'When the Saints Go Marching in' on a see-thru plastic saxophone that has twinkling multicoloured lights in it, I will NOT be impressed...

When we're talking shortages of the bare bone basics, like the above, we know we're in for a bleak, barren bastard of a winter.

The nasty EU are to blame as they’ve spent the last 30 years preventing the UK from levelling up and opening factories that will pay a dollar a day.

Now we can open as many as we want and Youri WILL have his plastic Santa.

The Santa is glued felt (stuffed with soiled bandages, destined for a hospital furnace, cannily recycled instead) it's his light up saxophone that is plastic (but mixed material, including a cheap and easily corroded battery pack)...

JSL.

His beard is fibreglass insulation, made snowy white by dipping in a lead emulsion.

Sounds like something you could make in a TVR factory during a quiet period to me mate.

Chewdles?

Chewdles? They're already weaving heart shaped wall ornaments in there, made from Japanese knotweed saplings gathered from the sidings of the Preston-Bolton-Manchester and Clitheroe-Blackburn-Bolton-Manchester lines.

They have little plaques made of finest MDF attached that read

'Home is Were The Heart is...'

In curly-girly script - handpainted by redundant electrical engineers and stock controllers who are cracking on with it.

Brainless bints can't get enough of stuff like this, the finished articles are sprayed a variety of colours to match the 46 extraneous bed cushions that they bought earlier (and also have soiled bandages for stuffing).

If only we could corner the bed cushion market now Chyna is turning her hand to producing; flying motorbikes, mobile phones/intelligence gatherers and delivery drones instead...

Britain can be the 'Sweatshop of the World' once again, and Mogg and Sulaiman can wear their Toppers, capes, monocles and tailcoats, and brandish silver claw handled canes freely and without fear of mockery.

Got into canterbury, 30 minute queue at Morrisons - it seems its in the more populated areas there are issues - which is why we are fucked, too many people. So you see, Johnson the clever little devil again hits the jackpot around the immigration issue.

He's not daft.

yes, most should/would/could be leaving around now, and some is obviously already here, but it will have an impact I'm sure

Oh and I selfishly filled up the the fucking brim as there was limit.

That, and areas where people can afford cars as well, normally at least 2 each family, not like the north where they get buses and trams everywhere

on that, there shouldn't be limits anywhere - first come first served should be the policy. The owner of the garage can only sell it once, so it's easier and better for him to have fewer transactions.

Its two teir isn't it round here though. People who have cars and commute and use the tube and those that use buses. Poor buggers this week have been stuck in traffic queues for petrol through no fault of their own. Wouldn't have wanted to be a bus driver this week

Also showed you had an empty tank. People should be employed to watch and if the hose clicks off at anything under £15 and you get a shoeing, filmed and posted on social media.

Part of me wonders if some of this is due to people using the car instead of public transport. We are seeing this gradual return to offices and the roads are taking more of the strain than public transport.

During the working week I don't go in the car. Just at weekends.
