Quote by Normal Rules above:Cue the front page of the suns headline. “ we are running on empty” The rest you know. God help us if a viral story of a bank running out of money ever got out.It did happen of course, Northern Rock in 2007.On the evening news one night and massive queues outside NR branches the next day when people tried to withdraw their savings.
2016:Pretty much everybody who thought about it: "If we leave the EU and stop free movement overnight there will be massive shocks to the supply chain."Boris Johnson. "Project Fear!"2021. Pretty much everyone who thought about it in 2016. "Err...thoughts?"Boris Johnson: "This was the plan all along, to turn us into a high skill economy."

It's definitely a global issue. It's the bulk of our factories in the far east who are having the most issues, unable to purchase micro-processors, shortage of steel because of covid situations in China and India with a further steel producer in Germany suffering because of the floods. Prices of brass and other materials have gone through the roof.All the shipping companies have doubled the amount of time that it takes to get product from the Far East into Europe, a situation made much worse by the blockage in the Suez Canal which has then led to a shortage of containers. Air freight has quadrupled in cost meaning we now have to use the rail network from China into Europe.I could go on, the list is absolutely endless of issues we face across the globe. The only Brexit issue we face is getting product into Northern Ireland which has produced more paperwork and takes longer. Apart from that all of our problems are global ones and the UK plays no part in any of that.
