UK Shoppers Face Higher Prices, Less Choice and Empty Shelves

- Import Controls which were imposed by the EU on 1st January, 2021 are only now being introduced by the UK after being delayed five times over the past three years. They will make it very much more difficult for small and medium sized enterprises to export from the #eu to the #uk and for UK firms to import from the EU. The result will be a reduction of imports, less selection in the shops, food shortages and higher prices. It is also likely to result in EU exporters ceasing to export to the UK and could well result in many UK companies being forced to close.
There will be less choice, higher prices and shortages. EU suppliers have another 26 countries to deal with without the bureaucratis barriers involved in dealing with the UK.
The damage Johnson did to this country, was irreversible, sunak is no better, but I still think Johnson was the worst Prime minister ever
Agreed!

As incredulous as it is the Tories are about to impose yet another unelected leader in the run up to Sept/October GE. The UK will definitely have bounced back by then📉📉
Are you the Best Troll Tufton Street can afford these days? You are very low grade mate. Still, bless you, nobody else would employ you, would they.....@@buy.to.let.britain
A very low bar has been set.
Whichever way you look at it, Brexit was one of the stupidest things that any country has ever voted for and then subsequently imposed upon itself; if it were another EU Member that had decided to leave in the way we did, we as a country would be looking on, shaking our heads, saying with a mixture of scorn and pity: what a bunch of idiots; don't they realize what they've done? But instead, we' re the ones being laughed at and pitied.
You can only understand it if you are aware of the fact that a large part of the English actually dislike their European neighbours.

The truth is the when you meet the ‘other’ they are same as we are.
What a NASTY little country this has become under the Tories. Nasty.
A country cannot be nasty , are you saying that ALL the people are nasty , certainly some nasty people in London at the moment.
A catastrophic failure of government.
but the thing is...the Tories Were NEVER going to actually Govern. As Republicans learned in the 90s, when in power, LOOT everything dry and let the opposition party sort out the mess whenever they lose their grip on office! When you have only one aim after grabbing power - Looting - then running a government and being in power is a doddle...you're just waiting to be booted out of office and if you're smart, and control the media...well, that could take years all the while, you're getting very very very RICH.
Oven ready deal. Take back control of our boarders. Our laws must be supreme. What a load of tosh. The reason the big fry wanted to leave is that the EU was about to pass laws dealing with tax evasion and squirrelling money abroad.The big guys got worried and pretended that your plight is the fault of the EU when it was Austerity.
Exactly!
I emigrated from the UK to Germany 20 years ago. My kids are now growing up, getting good qualifications with excellent employment prospects and all of the EU to live and work in.
I thought anyone anywhere in the world could do that now? You just have to turn up and say: "Asylum!" It just goes to show how artificial the rules being imposed by the EU are.

Johnson said that Brexit would not harm UK because it was too important to be ignored as a market. That doesn't seem to be true, does it?
It’s just so tragic and unnecessary. Wake up UK!
My late grandfather did the arctic convoy run in ww2 helping supply the USSR. He said the Soviets didn't let the British sailors on land ..incase the locals saw how much better off the outsiders were.. the Tories will try to stop reports of eu countries being better off and enjoying no food security problems
They have the media to do that.
For those of us who remember the UK before we joined the EU we are going back to the future. Next is a bailout from the IMF they have already warned Hunt about debt.
Three years after Brexit the UK still isn‘t able to manage its border properly. You couldn‘t make it up!
True. And yet they keep blaming EU for the mess!
The stupidity of it all. The pot holes in our roads are like a metaphor for everything.
And poo filled rivers.
@@stephensmith799 That's probably closer to the truth actually.
Absolutely 💯 right Michael. As a Lorry driver and coach driver I explained this, which is common sense, and was called unpatriotic and a trator by my colleagues who are now looking forward to being unemployed. My supermarket have widened all the Isle's ie removed a whole row of shelves snd re distributed goods. Unbelievable.
I was in France last week, the supermarket shelves were rammed full, and the quality of the fresh fruit and veg was top drawer. Went to Asda yesterday (other supermarkets are available), about 30% of the fresh produce shelves were empty. Wanted some lemons, but the first 4 pack I looked at was mouldy. A bottle of olive oil was over £8. I just despair. Love to go back to France and stay there. Oh, I can't......
Fresh veg and fruit in France, and you can buy a bottle of good wine at a decent price: a tasty red Merlot 3.50 € !!
@@cykablyat6531 Did plenty of that 🍷🤣
A hard Brexit (based on WTO rules only) would have been tough for the UK. The Brexit they have today is a bit like a death by thousand cuts.
No immediate crash but a steady slow decline, i want to compare the situation to the former GDR /East Germany). People there had enough to eat, they had clothes, they had homes, but they could watch on their TVs that they were falling back more each year compared to West Germany. Not a crash, just a slow, depressing grinding down.
We all know the end result 🤣

The import tariffs on all goods coming in will be devastating to smaller businesses-many restaurants, delicatessens and electronic firms are already shutting up shop with thousands more redundancies to follow. The only positive is that Sunak is almost certainly going to be forced out of office in the next week or so. Sadly Britain is a country with little future.

Thank you Michael for all the infos in this clip xx
You don’t appreciate what you’ve got until it is gone !
I swear we were told that after Brexit it would be just like before, only better. But nowadays I sometimes wonder if Boris might from time to time have been fibbing.
Wow. You might be on to something. Thanks for the insights.
😁
What..Boris lying..never! lol.
Just a little. 😊
UK politicians, many say "with malice aforethought," managed to get the worst of all possible worlds via their "negotiations". It is almost as if they were working for someone other than the people who voted them into power.
Sad but True Michael! I just pray that all the small majority of people that voted to leave the EU and voted in the conservitive government have woken up to the devasting consequences we ALL have to suffer EVERY DAY, especially the poorest and most vulnerable as a result! The blame falls squarely on the public who voted for BOTH!
No chance of that!!! The Tory mayor in Teesside was voted back. There are too many stupid people.
The UK is a third country vs the EU.So any imports,exports between the EU and the UK are now not differently treated as between the EU or China for example.The major advantage of being part of the EU was the elimination of duties and red tape between countries in the EU.

Would you be happy to be compulsorily conscripted into an EU army if the EU keeps ramping up aggression with Russia?
@sc3pt1c4L It's not the EU that will go to war with Russia. It will be NATO. UK is a member of NATO. If a NATO member nation is attacked, the treaty obliges all of the NATO countries to attack back as a group.
There should be a Brexit tax on all those who voted for brexit. I've been saying that since 2016. They would be happy to pay this 'sovereignty' surcharge.
Would you give away the sovereignty of your home? You could pay me a few £thousands every year, I would give you some of it back, naturally, and I would have ultimate control over your home. I won't tell you about the immigrants that will be moving in with you until after the agreement is signed. Obviously, you will only be allowed to buy food etc from the outlets I suggest.

Well, but wine bottles will be in pints or gallons or whatever! They might even have a Crown on it😂
except that Brexit eroded Britain's political influence, weakened the unity of the UK, and made the UK subject to EU trading rules with no say. Also, EU is a treaty between sovereign nations. Other than that, Brexit helped isolate the UK from much of its former mutual cooperation with other nations. Now UK just has to get out of NATO, the UN, the ECHR, WTO and WHO, and IMF and it will REALLY be truly sovereign again!!! Oops, UK might need the IMF for the next bail out.

@@russmarkham2197 The UK did not have much say before. What we need is a business person in charge and not the Globalist lackeys we have now.

@@T0NYD1CK This is a great example of "Whataboutism". Your comment should be preserved as such. I can assure you by the way that food price inflation in the USA and in the EU is much less than it is in the UK. Why? Because of Brexshit of course. And it's going to get worse in the UK with the new border controls. Get used to eating grass and nettles.
As far as I understand it, the Rwanda policy is now legal because the British government has used its sovereign right to redefine reality. A curious but apt epitaph for the government that said Brexit was a great idea.
Hello Michael good to see new video from you. Keep up the good work. As usual everything you said spot on. 🤦♀️👍
Thank you Mia 😊
Irish department of Finance report that they are taking in over 700 million Euro a year from UK in import duty since Brexit
+1 WPF 👍👍. Salutations du sud de la France. I wonder how much duty the French customs are raking in 😮. 🇨🇵🇪🇺
Of course, it's the IRISH importers who pay the duty, but that amount goes on to the selling price, making the British product less competitive than similar items from "the Continent" 😢.
All our "British-style" sausages, bacon and haggis now come from Ireland. 🇮🇪
I stopped buying from UK before Brexit.
I now buy my underwear from France.
Indeed the import duty is passed on to the consumer and this is indeed reflected in the retail price.
Welcome to brexit britain,oh wait should it be brexit England,great video micheal,shout out to you,,,

I am retired, and now live in Spain, Alicante, El Campello. A female friend from London came over to see me recently. She was amazed that all the supermarket shelves were well stocked, and as a Vegan, the quality of the fruit and vegetables on sale. Big fresh fish and meat counters also. They even had a better stock of Vegan foods than in London.
Thank you for your video Michael. Honestly I'm struggling to see a positive outlook for the UK. It's evident that this country is becoming poorer and poorer, coupled with a healthcare system teetering on the edge of collapse. It's a concerning situation to say the least and it’s a shame that so many people got lured to vote for it and unfortunately there’s no easy way back.
Just because something bad happened and Brexit happened it does not mean that Brexit caused the bad thing. Same with the COVID jabs. Just because people started dying at alarming rates after the jab was introduced it does not mean that the deaths were caused by the jab. Perhaps we should check anyway, just in case?
Uncle Michael, i am a great consumer of olive oil. I love the taste and it remonds me of the Mediterranean culture we have rejected. Since Brexit the price has doubled. Am I being punished for my cultural and culinary choices?
You are being punished for not being filthy rich. Brexit was done for filthy rich people. If you avoid millions on taxes thanks to Brexit, it doesn't matter if olive oil costs two or three times more.
You are not alone feeling punished. I am a Finn whose hobby is collecting physical media (CDs, Blu-rays etc.). I used to purchase a lot of physical media from the UK, but after Brexit I have started to buy stuff elsewhere (Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium,...) in order to avoid customs duty hassle. There is IOSS to help with that, but it doesn't often work properly with smaller sellers.
I´m paying double in Andalucia, but it is fresh, supermarkets sell it 12 months old.
Normally I´m too busy to harvest my olives, but this year I have oil from my own trees.
@@kerryburns-k8i My wonderful Iberian experience (in the Alentejo where I, too, had olive trees) is 26 years ago. I am very aware that we enjoyed freedoms then which are now denied to us and our children. Fortunately two of my three children have right of residence in Europe and my three grandchildren have that right by birth. I wish you all the best in beautiful Andalusia.

No.Olive oil has doubled in price in Germany too this last year or so.Something to do with weather.I will still buy it because it is something that I like very much.

Excellent vid Michael! Not to forget how poorly the government treats truckers. I read somewhere that UK hardly has any designated places to park overnight HGVs (apart from the services areas), nor does it have decent provision of toilets and shower facilities for the drivers. If the poor guy manages to get out of the customs area in 24 hrs time, and then finds it a hassle to park and rest, I don't think any sane individual would want to come back to make another UK delivery ever again, even if offered an above-going wage!
That's a real problem many EU freight companies face nowadays: finding truckers willing to cross the Channel.
What a mess ? And , there’s no rewind on the damage!

Personally, I can't wait for my soggy lettuces and rotten tomatoes ! Also, there have been reports of meat products being sold in supermarkets that state Not for the EU, presumably they don't meet the high standards required over there, so we may be eating poorer quality products. Think I'm going to become a veggie. 🤨
Products labelled with ‘Not for the EU’ are products intended for Northern Ireland. They are not to be sold on to Ireland.
@clarecrawford9677 ok thanks for clarification
For the time being, UK food standards are still pretty similar to EU food standards. However, what's the use of having high standards when these are not enforced? Just have a look at the rivers. Water standards haven't been lowered, they are not enforced.
You could just order beef from Ireland. They might send horse meat instead, but ah well.
You wouldn't mind a pm being put into that position to try and sort problems out and failing, but a pm in position to promote the bad decision and compounding the problem and being successful at it.

Wondering what the 5,000 or so asylum claimants are supposed to have been arrested for. Last time I checked, it wasn't a criminal offence to claim asylum. Does the UK still have habeas corpus? One voluntary repatriation to Rwanda, for £290 million spent by the UK government. This isn't value for money, and it shreds our country's reputation utterly.

The government are peeing themselves thinking how much import taxes they are going to take, and we are going to have to pay for it.
Taxes at the moment, for the workers, 20% PAYE, 10% social, 20% vat, 70% fuel, 20% heating, 8% green tax on top of all fuel.
And now another (20% vat, 10% import duty, total 30% + service charge for tax collection) import tax on most of our food.
How much actually is our earned pound worth?
I live in Denmark and I used to trade often with UK shops for Birthday presents Christmad presents and my wife used to buy most of her cloth from UK shops today we trade only with danish or german shops as we do then not have to worry about VAT or other rules
It's not a question about "punishing" anyont for BREXIT, but I tried initially to read up on the import rules and I just didn't feel that I could fully understand the rules and also I had to pre-pay amounts into gorverment accounts for the VAT and if it was incorrect I could get an surcharge etc. etc.
So I just found it more safe to just trade with companies within the EU to avoid any risk of an extra bill at my end
I know my families shopping is not even possible to meassure on the economic charts, but I guess if many like me change their habbits it would be meassurable in the big picture:
I do miss the option to shop freely with UK though as I found that many small sole traders had very good an unique products especially around personalized gift items and sporting goods.
Thanks Michael, please keep the videos coming.
Before Brexit, I used to buy bread flour from England. Bisto gravy granules, yeast. Brexit happens and it all stops. I had a supply of gravy granules. I found a couple of places to find flour, in England that is, but of poor quality. Once I found some doves farm strong wholemeal bread flour on Amazon. Under another name. I ordered, and eventually was refunded. Then, at the beginning of the year, all of this stuff was available on amazon. Slightly more expensive, and all the paperwork done, it was coming from England, via amazon.
That's a Brexit benefit for you right there, not consuming any more Bisto.
Now you have me really worried. Next time I go to Tesco I will take out the blue passport and insist to pay with sovereignity. I was going to wait the 50 years that Rees Morgue advised, but I realized only now that it was a con.
Gather up everyone and sue the Boris Johnson.
The frightening thing is, Johnson still thinks he did nothing wrong
Whatever you think about the Church of England, it is still a kind of moral arbiter. The Archbishop of Canterbury is on the record as opposing the entire Rwanda scheme. While he was still Prince of Wales, King Charles III made it known that he too was hostile to the idea. The government's solution to the "immigration problem" is one example of how the UK is increasingly turning to outsourcing in order to deal with tricky problems. Where do we send much of our waste? To countries like Turkey, far poorer than ourselves. Do we dispose of our own atomic waste? No, we do not. When we have a case like Shamima Begum, who is a British citizen, we deprive the young woman of her citizenship and leave it again to much poorer countries (like Syria) to deal with her. We could have flown her back to the UK; we could have tried her in a court of law for her alleged crimes; we could have punished her in the case of a successful prosecution with a long sentence. Instead, we palm her off on others. The reason I mention these other cases is because it is part of a very annoying tendency. Instead of sorting out our own problems, instead of finding solutions to the mess of our own making, we shift the entire responsibility towards others. That is not a very moral stance to take, especially if it is at the expense of far poorer countries. I hardly ever agree with the Rt Rev Justin Welby, but on this matter he's absolutely right. The Rwanda scheme is immoral.
Great post.
I concur 100%
Well said.

@@foppo101 Hopelijk is uw Nederlands beter dan uw Engels.
Sadly, as with so many changes wrought by leaving the single market etc... people will just become used to it. Decreasing choice, poorer quality food and so many new limitations and impediments and other consequences just become a new normal and people can rapidly forget that it wasn't always thus. It isn't just Brexit either; consider how the concept of a universal free at the point of use healthcare system is becoming watered down. Soon, comprehensive healthcare for all will be presented as some kind of 'aspiration,' a nice idea but something we really can't afford and something we need to ''have that conversation'' about.
Maybe we should exploit the extra diversity now open to the UK. We have over 160 countries that we can now trade with. A huge increase on our previous existence in the EU.

But the fruit and veg have always been rubbish in the U.K. compared to my home Italy.The distribution system means the stuff isn’t fresh and people like to eat Indian takeaways and kebabs.
It was better in the 1970-80s , I remember my English relative had a local shop with great produce and that’s gone.
A more cynical man would think that the whole Rwanda plan was to drive people in to the black market in the UK itself so that they are nice and cheap. A more cynical man would also argue that the record number of "illegal" immigrant allowed in by a government that supposedly is all about stopping the boats and "taking back control of our borders" might have some thing to do with that. A more cynical man would perhaps also argue that the book Britannia Unchained written by many high-ranking Tories, in which the British people are described as "amongst the most lazy in the world" might be related. But who knows? It might just be that the UK just added a new sort of modern day slavery to its economy to drive down labour costs. But that would be very un Brittish of course, they would never ensla.... oh wait... But in all seriousness, that is just full tinfoil hat thinking and that would require a clever and well thought out plan. Seems a bit of a big ask for these clowns...
The ‘black market’ in the UK has now increased a lot!
People now have a first job and other cash-in-hand jobs just to make ends meet!
I wonder if the Rwanda Plan was ever intended to work at all or whether it was just a ruse to kick the can down the road while allowing in as many people as possible in the interim.
It is a tragedy on a national scale, what is happening. The wanton destruction of thousands of good, honest small businesses like yours. The destruction of the soft power of amicable trade of delightful things.

Checks❔ 🤔
e.g.
1) How will 20 tonnes of refrigerated 🧈 butter be checked when pallets are wrapped up on cellophaned pallets?
2) The cold door of the container is opened letting warm air in potentially contaminating the whole batch in a heatwave?
3) The nearest pallet is cut open and a pack of butter is tested how and for what?
4) What about the potentially lesser quality (dangerous) butter placed deeper within the container?
5) 🚛 Lorry drivers being employed longer to deliver.

@@gloin10 😄 how much for the bridge then?
Thanks
Thank you very much Douglas 😊
What I miss most about pre Brexit times, is not being able to find a builder who'll work for cash and not charge VAT! 😆
You must be joking, are you really telling us that Brits don't do black work.
@@edwardbernthal160 Any contacts you know would be gratefully received.
Another excellent in a nutshell video.
Thanks Paul 😊
Thank you, great, informative post. The problem is: many of us actually foresaw the consequences of brexit exactly along those lines. Why could brexiteers not see them? Because 1) the leaders did not want to see them 2) the followers only looked at the leaders. The formers conned the latter, who were presumably not dishonest.
And here we are: the proof of the pudding ……. aka Humble Pie.
You and Liz Webster have wonderful videos. Not as professional as some maybe, but very honest and insightful. Have you watched her? (and I hope she has watched you. Next time I watch one of her videos, I will ask).
Yes I have 😊
@@Iain1962 Funny??? That's not the firt adjective that came into my mind.
If you want professionalism, SkyNews is there.
Good morning Michael, you okay?
Police chasing people around being diverted from their usual duties, Oh Goody 😵 😭🤦♂️
Lunatic Rules, which we asked for, that are going to really hurt us all. Liz Fraser warned us as did the FT I believe.
But one highlight is there's a New Book "Rishi in Blunderland".🥴
See you on Saturday. TTFN 👍🤟
Thanks!
Where oh where are those sunlit uplands 🤔
Keep looking 😂😂
"Where oh where are those sunlit uplands..."?
Sadly, it turns out that the uplands were so much sunlit, as burnt over.....

Brexit is ironic, these people wanted the best for this country. Yet there political views, have harmed this country
Every 4 years we must decide who gets to steer the USS Constitution. And every crew member believes their shelves can do it!
Every 4 years the shoppers have less choice, quality and robustness. The shelf life has expired a long time ago with most of the crew.
A high price to pay for an empty, televised democracy indeed.
There’s already small fast food restaurants, outlets, closing down, and others are only open until around 9-10 pm, when they used to be open until midnight!
Thanks Michael.
