    Germans to the rescue

    As UK border chaos continues Lufthansa airlifts fresh food to England - CNN


    (CNN Business)Germany's Lufthansa is operating a special cargo flight to airlift fruit and vegetables to England on Wednesday as shortages of food and other vital supplies loom because of continuing chaos at the UK-French border.

    A Lufthansa (DLAKY) spokesperson told CNN Business that a Boeing 777 freighter carrying 80 tons of perishable goods would depart Frankfurt at 6:30 a.m. ET and arrive at Doncaster-Sheffield airport about 90 minutes later. The airline is working with freight forwarders to supply produce from Egypt, Spain and other countries.

    The move comes as UK supermarkets and other businesses struggle to cope with the impact of Sunday's closure of vital freight arteries between southern England and France, triggered by the British government's warning that a new, more infectious variant of Covid-19 was out of control in London and the surrounding areas.

    That'll explain all the stewardesses in the supermarket this morning buying up all the fresh fruit and veg then...
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            Gammon brains must be exploding after all the news this week. EU countries have control over their own borders, Unicef sending food aid to the poorest children in England and Germany starting food deliveries by air as well

              I think your are seriously understanding their ability to blank out anything that does not resemble their reality of the world.
              They probably only watch the voice of the establisment - BBC news which encourages the same mental dullness and gullibility.

                Oh look. We've found another of these. I reckon it's a conspiracy.

                Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                    That is the beauty of it, even educated people dismiss it.

                    How otherwise do you get a nation to vote for brexit without bringing a single fact to the battle?

                    Use subliminal triggers and exploit the insecurities in people.
