UK supply chain crisis

Exact synonym for the 'successful' no downside of Brexit.
Simon: Deary me old bean. Empty shelves again in Tesco. I loathe this UK supply chain crisis. How could it happen when we took the power back keeping all the foreigners and immigrants out.

Peter: Well my old plumb duck, it's a case of Brexit. You see the EU workers were the drivers we were trying to keep out, taking our jobs. But their jobs were actually ones we couldn't replace in the UK supply chain crisis. They were paid not even a pigs ear and treated like a sty. So when we're down 100,000 HGV drivers and Boris says we'll have it sorted it, we have just 2,000 army truck drivers driving by and then we'll see the pigs, or in this case gammon fly.
