leaving the sinking Ship - Brexit SS

pointing out factual problems caused by brexit is not the same as saying GB is on brink of collapse.
It is to a Wail reader. They have been convinced for the last couple of decades that The EU and everything associated with it - is 'on the brink'. Gullible gasbag and his fellow wailers are convinced every time they read that headline.

Poor dribbling souls.

here is a clue why UK has supply chain problems

spot the isolationist "Democratic Peoples Republic of Britain on its own, top right:

Supply chain problem is global at the moment.

Britain on it's own, top right, with the rest of the world.
How much of global trade is accounted for by the EU, 14%?

I think importers/exporters have lost a lot more business than that. Some say trade is down by 60%. The door is slamming shut week in week out.
Brexit - what a pile of poo.

It will be if the factual problems caused by Brexit carry on getting worse.

If 43% of our exports go to the EU, surely the rest of the world is our largest trading partner?
Rest of the world is not a single trade partner nor single regulatory zone.

I guess you still don’t understand the huge benefits of the Single Market

Yes, semiconductors maybe. Europe has Covid pandemic like us, but do they have food shortages? Are they short of staff in many types of businesses and industries? Are their bins not being emptied? Are their pilots being grounded because of blind dogma, a certain PM refused the EU's offer to let The UK remain in the EASA so that pilots could keep their licences to fly into and over Europe?

It may be considered stupid if not suicidal to force through a Brexit built on lies with dangers for businesses, the economy, etc, etc during a pandemic. More mature and competent administrations may have taken a more pragmatic stance at a time of worldwide crisis.

It should be noted that because Northern Ireland is still in the single market, it averted it's shortages by sourcing lots of goods from Irish Republic (an EU member). A win for NI, a win for Ireland - another big hit to UK plc.

Though I'm not disagreeing with you, there are issues caused by brexit, I've had personally issues with importing goods and the minefield that is customs and the delays they cause, however most companies are on top of this now, the only issue we have is with TNT, any other imports and exports by other companies either independent or national/international, are now dealt with as swiftly as they were before Brexit (from personal experience). some issues have been compounded by brexit, but exactly what percentage is caused by brexit and what's caused by the pandemic is not yet 100% clear, it appears Europe is suffering from a HGV driver shortages aswell, some report food shortages, let's not pretend that the EU doesn't have issues of their own, and some of these issues we would still be experiencing whether brexit happened or not.

Personally the whole world seems to be an absolute sh&t show at the moment. Even new Zealand, shutting the country down again because of 1 or 2 cases. I understand as to why, but the problem is this is not going to go away, and they can't possibly keep shutting the country down forever surely?
