Brexit slowly becoming a Farce.

[Benjamin_Nevis]

Ah, the old imploding EU routine. Hasn't it been imploding for over five years now?

Are morons still believing and peddling this abject nonsense? Good god [emoji23]

[SANTAN]

It's probably on a par on the ridiculous scale as 90% of the stuff posted on here about the UK crumbling.

The short term losses and disruption were indeed forecast.

Not by the Leave campaign.

What was not, was NI border

Because the Leave campaign ignored it and claimed that the UK would retain membership of the Customs Union and the Single Market.

 the EU actively seeking recrimination to try and make sure Brexit wouldn't work.

The EU has done nothing more vindictive than to attempt to adhere to the rules that the UK signed up to.

The UK is now a third country – Britain’s supply chain crisis

When the UK left the EU in January, we became a third country. For those of us who trade with Europe, business has become very slow and very expensive.

The UK is indeed crumbling; economically (now turbo-boosted by the lunacy of Brexit), politically (never has there been more division and divergence on nationhood and the monarchy for example) and morally (endemic corruption and tax evasion and flagrant contempt for Parliamentary rule by the Government of the day). 

Empires don't implode overnight, it's generally a slow process of atrophy, but once it gains momentum it is an irreversible course.  Because that doesn't fit your personal political narrative doesn't mean it isn't happening.

More empirical asides now.

I myself and a couple of folk I know are having severe issues obtaining our supply of disease modifying Multiple sclerosis meds. It's manufactured by Biogen in the Netherlands and it's impossible to source. My MS nurse and consultant have had issues with other medication lately from Europe. They both suspect Brexit reasons as opposed to covid.

I'm getting a script from the hospital's own pharmacy which is a bit off the books and not the normal procedure but if things don't improve supply wise I'm in a fair bit of shite health wise.

[scottsdad]

I bought a mechanical testing machine (£110k) amongst others. 7 weeks of delays due to brexit. The supply chain is fucked.

On a personal level, fingers crossed it doesn't come to that @speckled tangerine but the whole thing sounds an absolute shitfest. The human element of Brexit.

I can vouch for medical supply issues as well. Pharmacy in Ninewells is struggling to source various medicines and medicinal supplies (especially from Germany) because the supply chain is completely broken. Can imagine it’s similar in other Scottish hospitals as well.

BBC radio five live have a "why are there empty shelves" phone in this morning, and the gymnastic contortions on display in an effort to not say Brexit are incredible. 

Apparently we need to respect Lorrycunts more, because smiling at Long Distance Clara and being patient when they make an arse of it and block the road will magically solve the 100k personnel shortfall.

It's this kind of pedantry I love this forum for.
