tbf, we repaid the favour by parking 11* Tank divisions in West Germany in the 60s, 70s, & 80s…

Of course, that is taking a 'purist view' to the TCA.

However, the cynic in me does suggest that the timing of this does nicely coincide with what's going on in the country and a certain parties conference next week.

I smell something fishy here.

Meanwhile, something seems to have leaked from the Cabinet courtesy of the FT Comments section, a poster called Sent in my Retirement.

At cabinet meeting:

"...So how can we assert Britain's dominance and fool people into believing we mean anything to the rest of the world? Oh and also something to distract the people from our failings to provide basic services like fuel, heating and food would be nice. Is that still happening by the way?"

Truss: I've heard an amazonian tribe is looking for a trade deal.

Gove: a union with Scotland?

Rishi: Boris, did you have a chance to look at that red box I left on your desk? there's some pretty grim foreca-

Priti: Phony war with France?

Boris: Ms. Patel you've got it! It achieves absolutely nothing at all, diminishes our standing on the world stage and embarrasses the nation's few remaining reasonably minded citizens. That's exactly what this government stands for. The base will love it. Call the Times, the Telegraph and the Sun - we've got a headline.

Just seen on the hospital news ticker that farmers are reporting killing their piglets due to a lack of abattoir staff, this is how sovereign nations exert their independence is it, by relying on other nations for their food, looks like that barmey kipper economist Patrick Minford (iirc) might have finally got something right sadly

They've jumped the gun, we're still on chickens, turkeys and petrol


I read somewhere there's only 85 days left until Christmas . . if the public get hold of that there will be a panic hoarding of days and we'll be back to a 4 day week before you know it

It's amazing isn't it the coordinated buzzword for the moment is "shortage".

I think it's because there is a shortage of things.

Is this a trick question?

“There is adequate food.”

[heero_yuy]

There's only a shortage if people change their buying habits. Its a consequence of "just in time" stocking and a supply chain geared to a known level of demand.

MSM only has to mention it and the muppets will make it so.

There were clearly shortages that predate this, but rationally every individual is out for themselves so buying extra fuel or food is entirely prudent if supply chains are unable to adapt.

Hope the MSM catch on to the hog roast shortage, all those little pigs not turning into one big pig is bound to cause a problem

One I saw on Twitter

There are no shortages and we've always been at war with Eastasia.

There are shortages due to the lack of drivers, you can see this on some supermarket shelves, the panic buying is making it a lot worse but it's the sole cause of it.
