The return of Scabies

The Brexit benefit not put on the side of a bus. And, it's not Rat from the Damned.

 

Quote

In Britain, there’s also another factor at play: a months-long severe shortage of treatments. Paula Geanau of the British Association of Dermatologists told WIRED in an email that this is due to both lingering pandemic-related supply chain issues and import problems relating to Brexit. With the current high demand, any stock that reaches the UK is swiftly used up.

The delusion of the OP is quite staggering.  Straw clutching at its very best thinking garbage like he posted will boost the struggling independence supporters.

 

Why didn't he post this in the independence thread?  Merge please Mods.

So, everything that happens after Brexit is because of brexit?

 

ignoring...

 

"The UK’s surge of cases is part of a wider, longer trend. Scabies cases have been rising consistently across Europe and around the globe for a decade. "

No, it's another factor

Brexit was a total waste of time. There are no benefits. There are plenty of inconveniences due to it. This however is a stretch...

to make it more unpleasant, I believe it is the faeces of the mite that causes the intense itching on the skin.

It's been on the rise for ten years but in the last few months there has been a shortage of medicine? 

 

Brexit wasn't a few months ago. While there is more red tape to import. It's far from an insurmountable issue. Millions of items are imported every week.

Yeah it's not just a trading partnership it's also a central bank and currency. Much more damaging

Deflecting from the news that "honest" Nicola has been covering her tracks by deleting all her Whatsapp messages.

Except we can't get the medicines that Europe has,  due to Brexit.

I'm just saying that according to that, Brexit isn't to blame, but it's consequences are a contributing factor.

For GB

A member state leaving the EU doesn't affect the existence of the EU

One of the two signatories to the Treaty of Union which created GB pulling out however...

there is no emoji or gif that could ever do that justice - as you say hard to believe it actually happened

i posted on the kids tv thread about a 1970s programme children of the stones where a whole community was totally brainwashed by some unscrupulous leader type - totally grateful to him for removing their individual personalities and making them happy

 

seemed far-fetched at the time :lol:
