I just detailed above that the UK gas price is about the same (slightly lower actually) than the Benchmark EU gas price.
So try again. Use logic, maths, real figures. "Merely saying we left the EU so it must be bad" is precisely the childish moronic remoaner crap I'm calling out here. You are doing yourself no favours. |

it's fair to insult them back. In fact I actively encourage it

'We left EU and Internal Energy Market'
So would that mean a 3rd country would be forced to pay the high wildly fluctuating prices as they have left an organisation that maybe 'hedged' or had more 'clout? |

I'll happily accept it was strategically stupid to shut down the gas reserve storage to a tiny amount of annual use. But that's just short sighted stupidity, it's nothing to do with Brexit.

The laughable thing here is the remoaners are on about Brexit when of course the EU is beholden to Russia for Gas, and they are apparently deliberately throttling supply. The UK DOES have Gas supply directly, but apparently oil rigs that had shut downs delayed due to covid are now undergoing maintenance, again making it worse for the UK.
And again, NOTHING TO DO WITH BREXIT. Jesus christ, even the remoaner media aren't trying to pin this on Brexit, yet the internet lunatics above can't help themself. |

We should also accept that lockdowns have fecked the developed world. So unexpected, nobody saw it coming.

The Irish Times mentioned brexit elsewhere Cider, a third less imports from the UK and 26% more exports from Ireland to the UK, it seems to be good for Ireland this brexit.

My timing is a little off. I was going to go in before the end of the month, before people got paid and stock up. Fill my freezer, Fills my cupboards and stock up on toilet rolls but this latest fear mongering has probably done for me. People are talking about shortages already. I daresay I will be too late. I am ashley going tomorrow after some physio as I will be in the car. Tinned tomatoes Tomato puree garlic minced beef and maybe pork. steak pies frozen corn, peas and French beans Kidney beans and a whole load of other beans like butter beans, black eyed beans etc pasta rice tinned soup That should do me for a couple of months. I tend to eat fresh foods only but it doesn't hurt to have a full cupboard on long life in case the mongering is not fanciful. |

wd, I will always be at least 'one shop' ahead, so if I can't get whatever I need on the next for some reason, I'll have enough to last until the next one. I have plenty of stuff to last into the months if needed.

Come on 1TP lets put the kleenex away!
tbf are lot of remoaners have been saying the same and are rather gleeful with the reap what you sow. Personally I voted for Brexit for just this upheaval. Something has to change in our society but I do fear the carnage it will cause. |

He has to say that but I wonder if he will resign if the lights go out or deny saying it? |

brexit means re-alignment and some transitory pain. obviously lockdowns were not part of the equation and have superseded anything that brexit could have caused.

Bloomberg;The British soft drink federation says it only has a few days of carbon dioxide left to produce beverages,and can't import from the EU due to Brexit.
Doesn't this all apply to food and other things? While you had the bbc more or less implying Bors single handedly opened up tranatlantic flights today, the starkness of the co2 situation was typically 'bbced' |
