And you have swallowed the propaganda.
The Road Haulage Association has always been pro-EU, for obvious reasons. If they say the present shambles is not the fault of Brexit, they may just have a point.

Petrol queues will grow for as long as the Press say there is a problem, and garages do not impose a minimum charge.

A few months ago I heard of a bloke trying to return an entire pallet full of toilet paper and claim a £200 refund. Supermarket manager said the product did not appear to be faulty and was eminently suitable for purpose, including wiping egg off the face of an idiot, so no, thanks.

How many people need to be begging at foodbanks?
Surely you aren't blaming Brexit for the austerity measures imposed by successive Europhile administrations? That would be illogical, Captain.

Islam is very focused on communal operation, ie Afghanistan new beard and Burka trend for everyone and the importance placed on community. Judaism seems far more individual based, personal achievement.
All religions attempt to control people's dress and behavior. They are despicable because these controls are based on an imaginary authority, not common sense or common benefit.

the people were known to have changed their minds.
To state that 33,000,000 voters have changed their minds is an assertion of psychic power beyond the wildest imaginings of a raving lunatic.

Fortunately we have elections and referenda to eliminate the need for psychics.
The pollsters have been so on the money recently.

Thankfully, nobody made that statement.

Yes; Corbyn wanted a vote on brexit and you said he shouldn't ask what the country wanted.

Maybe you should only post when you have finished arguing against yourself.

until the opportunity arose for doing it
Actually, they were asking if he would push the button.
That opportunity has not arisen.

Anyway, here's where the anti Jewish politicians actually hangout.

Yes, we have various sorts of polls.
Including the ones that I posted the outcomes of.

But you ignored them and said it was

That's the sort of thing I expect from Republican politicians.

They do.
It's usually called a "price".

Some of them are ignoring your "wisdom" and imposing a maximum purchase.

Yes, the reason being that they are intelligent and familiar with the issues.
The Cabinet office are not so pro EU (because they have to do what Boris tells them)
But they did hold a meeting with the RHA because they knew there  was going to be a problem with supply chains post Brexit. That's what the media reported.
That's their job.
