BoJo desperately spinning:
Boris Johnson: petrol crisis and pig cull part of necessary post-Brexit transition
And true to the ideology of the Tory party, the foreign secretary sounding all Republican:
Sure, a free enterprise economy can fix this. Said free market also could let a million people starve just to fix a supply-demand imbalance.
The Brexit chickens (non-chlorinated so far) are coming home to roost, and BoJo and company are desperate to put a smile on.
The free market supply-and-demand mechanisms was handling these things just fine, until you blocked a large percentage of the supply from being imported, and tossed the laborers who enabled production and distribution of the domestic part of your supply.
