In a statement received by AFP, BP admits that it is “suffering from petrol supply problems at some sales sites in the United Kingdom”, caused by “delivery delays due to the lack of truck drivers across the UK”.
‘No one to transport fuel’
In Germany, Der Spiegel also reported yesterday about petrol shortagres, saying: “There would be enough fuel available – but nobody is there to transport it”.
Italy’s Repubblica TV talked about “Great Britain’s post-Brexit apocalipse” earlier this month.
And last month, Dissapore reported Brexit and Covid are putting Christmas at risk.
”London, Manchester, Cambridge, Birmingham: In all these cities there is a supply crisis that is hitting supermarkets and fast food,” the publication’s article read.
‘UK is in serious trouble’
Europe’s reporting of post-Brexit Britain sparked many reactions – with one user saying: “Brexit and its consequences are news all over the globe because what is happening in the UK isn’t happening there.
“Regardless of what the UK government says, the UK is in serious trouble.”
James Taylor said they must be “jealous” as there is no room for food in the UK because “our shelves are stacked full of sovereignty”.
And Paul Niland said: “Note. All of these countries also have Covid to deal with. Also note. The list of upsides contains nothing more than slogans.”
