It's wild that despite the utter devastation Covid inflicted on the UK, several industries are STILL specifically complaining about Brexit.

Imagine voting for something so damaging that not even an economy-crippling pandemic that killed 0.2% of the population can cover it up. 😬
The British Poultry Council is complaining about Brexit in relation to the food shortages #DespiteCovid.
The Road Haulage Association is complaining about Brexit in relation to the shortage of HGV Drivers #DespiteCovid.
The Small Business Federation is complaining about Brexit drowning small UK businesses in red tape and begging the government for more financial support, #DespiteCovid.
In July 2021, the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations called Brexit "a tale of woe, very far away from the sea of opportunity that some spoke about" #DespiteCovid.

Remember how the BBC told us to just get over Brexit?

Now they're publishing articles that clearly show Brexit making the British people poorer, but they refuse to even mention the word themselves*. Image
Could it be because the @BBC was biased in favour of Brexit from 2017-2019 so now they're hiding their responsibility for the disaster they can see resulting from their propaganda?
Like the under-30s #Bbcqt just before the election, when it was crucial for old voters to hear that those most affected didn't want Brexit.

The chosen audience was 50% Leave despite 70% of <30s being Remain, BUT THEN they skewed it to the Tories just because it was in England.

You don't say, @JuliaHB1... 😬
If only she'd realised that in 2016.

It's just chicken & turkey.
It's just milkshake.
It's just cancer drugs in Northern Ireland.
It's just fishing.
It's just Erasmus.
It's just Belfast violence & port threats.
It's just 7K bank jobs.
It's just trade.
It's just farmers.
It's just musicians.

It's just been 8 months!
Obviously I can back all that up. Sources:

The @BritishPoultry Council have said that the Chicken Shortages in Nando's and KFC and Tesco's warnings about Christmas turkeys are because of Brexit.

#BrexitFoodShortages
As for the lack of milkshake and other issues...

The Road Haulage Association has cited Brexit labour shortages as the number 1 barrier to fixing the shortages.

The UK has voted for parties to the left of the Tories in all but 3 elections since WW2 and yet the Tories have been in power for 46 of the last 76 years.

So our government has been more Right-Wing than the majority of UK voters for most of a lifetime!
