Not just the UK which has supply struggles

AT this present time, there are lorry driver shortages in the UK, Belgium, France, Poland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany and the USA.

Power plants have actually run out of coal in Germany. There are many foodbank queues in France. There are empty supermarket shelves across Europe. Gas prices are rocketing in Italy. There are multiple blackouts in China. The USA is calling in the military to drive school buses. German and French carmakers are shutting down because of a severe shortage of semiconductors.

There’s a theme connecting these global supply issues. But you must be quite silly to look at the UK and then around the world and say Brexit is responsible.

But it seems there are plenty still doing it.
