Percy Pig is a sad loss.
Do we all remember the rhetoric about food shortages, the need to stockpile and all the logistics professionals on Twitter claiming that it works be a calamity? At least it’s not that bad.
Sorry Dov but I don't think you've been paying attention - the logistics situation is worse than for e.g. Shane Brennan (@Coldchainshane on Twitter) thought it would be, but it's masked at the moment (to an extent) by lorries simply not travelling as they're either unable to leave the depot or the shipping company has refused to go to the UK.
Food shortages are now coming into play as stockpiles run down, which is going to push lorry volumes up, which is going to run headlong into the red tape mountain.
And in the meantime fishing is buggered, and those that survive will either have to freeze their catch (and accept a lot less for it) or land it in the EU in order that they can sell it before it rots.
Dammit-
or land it in the EU in order that they can sell it before it rots.
Scottish fishing boats are already doing that and selling it in auctions in Denmark.
“ Up to 40% of fish sold at an auction in Denmark so far in 2021 have come from Scottish boats, according to a a leading figure in the Nordic logistics industry.
British fishers are taking the drastic step of landing in the European Union to avoid the growing crisis in the UK.”Fishes are now better and happier going directly to the EU instead of the UK.
