    No of course not but you are completely ignoring the main issue. EU countries had the very same Covid but they aren't experiencing anything like the same supply problems that we are. Imagine what it would be like if we actually took back control, stopped and checked incoming lorries? Brexshters are fine with glossing over that.
    I also see that people are making light of the 'empty shelves'. Of course whole shelves aren't empty (there have been rare occasions). The point is that there are gaps. Products that were very rarely out of stock are now noticeable by their absence. Of course we can buy alternatives. Doesn't help the business that is seeing a drop because they can't get their products to market.
    Fck business eh? But then again you've no skin in the game, you ain't got a business.

    You are wrong on most of your post, If you are in business then making assumptions is the fastest way to lose it

    ??? Nonsensical. Perhaps you would like to agree with the great brexshter chief of Next, Simon Adam Wolfson, who clearly doesn't think that Brexit is working for business.

    You are spot on Broncs and of course we do not know the effect of a million people coming off furlow will have at the end of this month, Not all will still have jobs to go to, We need to train our own in future and skill our own population instead of taking the unemployed from the EU and of course the more people you import then it fuels consumption that means more imported people are needed to satisfy it, a circle we must break with politicians turning a blind eye to it in the past

    Amusing is the best I can say on this post, It lacks any serious points

    Ended September but paid a month in arrears so employers can claim till October 28th I believe so those on furlough will be looking for work soon or back to work fully with existing employer

    ah. I thought it ended at end of September but the employers were paid back in arrears. So the last day that can be claimed for was 30th September but the employees may not fet the cash back till end of October. So all people that were on furlough are no longer being paid by government

    You are just making a fool of yourself more and more every day. Keep it up.

    the review had nothing to do with Brexit though. It was due to the Princess Diana interview.
    Both sides complain about bias from the BBC

    It is due to a large amounts of complaints of bias reporting not only the Diana interview

    Strange how it was only done after the independent investigation into the Diana interview.

    Yes wrapped up with the Diana thing as did not want to admit a separate investigation, This will be a matter of sending reporters on training courses not an investigation after many complaints and having to give written warnings to certain reporters, I gather Emily Maitless has now had 2 warnings for bias reporting

    Yep it is to make sure they do not have too many fringe view points on as well, so more main stream rather than mad as hatter right/left wing loons, conspiratory theorist etc. To be honest I can see the right wing of politics getting less coverage after this

    The Government and ministers have refused to appear on Newsnight for awhile now due to the bias against it the programme has especially after appointing Lewis Goodall as Policy editor as he is well known for his pro Labour left wing links and anti government stance

    The have refused to appear because they can not take being questioned rather than given a free ride. They need to grow a pair

    If I remember rightly The last time on they had one Tory government minister against a presenter and 3 Labour supporters and said it would not allow that again as they accused Newsnight of ambushing them, They have also refused to appear on the Today BBC radio programme, The do appear on every other news programmes on BBC channel for news and reporting such as ITV news and SKY and GBNewsas well as other radio stations so not exactly hiding away, They just expect fairness and respect not bias reporting whether true or perceived
