Any examples of that glee, please? Or is it a straw man argument?

Thanks

No glee from me.
So where's your discussion? What link are you making between this collapse and Brexit? Why not make a point properly?

I didn't see any glee either. I saw sarcasm in the text.

What does the emoji mean, please? I guessed puzzlement.

It means confused, which is probably right.

PH wrote: 8 May 2022, 9:09pmThe point is, this has been shoehorned into a subject without any explanation, do you know what part supply chain issues have played? Where's the discussion? I'd be surprised if they weren't a contributory factor, I'd be even more surprised if they claimed it was the primary one.

Did you get past the headline? It's clearly not the only issue.
Apologies I missed it the first time round, I don't spend as long on the forum as some.
Yes, I followed the saga of the disruption, and their consequent reorganisation of their supply chains with Morrisons, and the rebranding which I discussed above.

Apologies accepted, but it's much better if we make comments about the topic rather than criticising and trying to control the way in which others choose to post.

Thanks.

So I didn't see any glee in the text, and now I know that there isn't any in the emoji.

It's just PH trying to put the boot in because I didn't offer chapter and verse on the collapse of McColls.

You've posted without offering anything
I've then been accused of making straw man arguments for pointing out that happens...

I was agreeing with Jonathan.
But if you insist,whilst not the whole reason for the collapse of McColls,Brexit is a factor like it is in ruining other small business players.
Brexit was a sham to suit disaster capitalists and big business for their own ends.

"Britain’s busiest port has warned that thousands of holidaymakers and lorry drivers face the worst border chaos yet later this year when the EU introduces onerous passport checks on UK soil.
"The Port of Dover is bracing for lengthy delays and huge queues when the new EU rules make passengers undergo biometric checks, potentially forcing them to leave their cars."
"Tim Reardon of the Port of Dover, said: “This particular element has the potential to be much more disruptive than anything we've seen so far."
