Stop being such an arse and people might engage with you.

PS, this isn't business and you're not an expert witness. You're just some idiot wasting your life on a motoring website like the rest of us.
I’m retired though and just watching Fed Week racing through my window. Just having some fun here between races.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the BBC in terms of the quality drama / documentary programmes it produces or commissions, but the 6 o’clock news should be renamed “project fear daily”. Remainer news producers at work I suspect. It’s all becoming a little tedious, and far from balanced.

Havent read all the above arguing, but I just saw a bit of the 6 O’clock news and

a) over 15 mins of brexit bullst (what are they going to do when it eventually ends?)
b) the bbc bloke was going on about rationing and how shops were planning to ration products like they already do with 3 for 2 offers etc. He explained how the technology is there.
c) there was some other crazy scaremongering story last week they were doing, but I’ve forgotten it now. It was something really stupid.

And we wonder why there is an uptick in neurosis.

Winnie, at first I thought maybe you’d just made a mistake but you’re actually just lying now.

You’re well aware what you’re saying is untrue.

The bbc didn’t say there will be food shortages and they didn’t say there will be rationing and they didn’t say anyone else did either.

If you had been paying attention, one of our major supermarkets intend to ration bulk buying by smaller shops try to restock depleted stocks from them.so their normal shoppers would not be deprived.

There was no scaremongering just a statement of intent buy a supermarket chain

Perhaps you should listen more acutely and engage brain.

I watched it on CH4. It was a Supermarket chain making the statement of intent. Do you have an issue with that?

No, I have no problems with it.

I remind you there is there are words "MAY HAPPEN"------"We MAY have to"--- "IF we have to we can do this"

I will ask again.....what food lines have they listed as needing Rationing ?

Any chance of a link rather than a screen shot ?

Based on what's visible in that picture it looks remarkably like a few folk don't quite understand what they have read............
