That is the WHOLE of my point Stainsey. We haven't left yet, but people are already manipulating the situation so they can make big money out of the suffering of the less fortunate. Think what it will be like when there are hold ups at the docks or airports. People will be be forced (if they are monetarly able) to pay well over the odds just to keep themselves healthy and alive. Some people cannot afford to............
I can live without my occasional avocado as a treat... but many people cannot live without insulin or prednisilone.
And this is just a small, small area about something I know about. I do not know what will happen when the input of steel stalls or microprocessors from Germany stop coming or Oil stops flowing or Electricity from France suddenly costs 50% more due to tariffs
Beth, you say WHEN there are hold ups at the ports......do you have some insider knowledge ‘cos as I previously pointed out, the head of Calais said there should be no disruption and the reports saying there would be were ‘Le Bullshit’ (his reported words).
I agree with you that some unscrupulous individuals or firms may try to manipulate things and make a fast buck but most of any disruption may very well be to ‘panic accumulation’ from individuals who, in my opinion, believe the hype.
