To be fair I thought he lived in London, unless he was just passing Sainsbury's Bangor.
This feels like something you’d see in the developing nations

And herein lies the problem doesn't it. I've seen the empty shelves for myself and also seen the things that are in stock with ridiculously low sell by dates. Problem with this current country we live in is people like you can scream "fake news" and choose to ignorer any problem. Why you would WANT to ignore food shortages, or anything that directly affects you, is another story. I can't think why you would but fine.

Careful. The cult will accuse you of lying. Maybe that's the depressing thing about this thread? Not the jokes about food shortages. but the flat out denial of them?
The problem is you using random pics off google to try and justify yourself. As has been mentioned previously, you live in London, yet saw empty shelves where cat food once was in a store in Wales?
The cat food had been recalled by the manufacturers due to sudden deaths in cats. Do you choose to ignore the truth because it doesn't fit your agenda or is it "fake news"

I have seen empty shelves in mbro sainsburys, been like that for weeks but it's getting worse. In lldl today they was a poor selection of fresh fruit and veg, no herbs etc

NO, that was an example of what was happening. I chose ti because of the ridiculousness of sainsbury's actually putting little pictures of food on the shelves instead of food. It shows how crazy the situation is.
You can keep denying there are food shortages all you want. You'd be incorrect though

There are shortages with some products however the crux of your argument is that is entirely the fault of Brexit, a “fact” that has been utterly debunked by information provided direct from the BRC and media reports both sources clearly stating it is only one of the factors.
You have chosen to brazenly disregard those facts as they do not fit your narrative, placed words into the mouths of others (despite your post earlier claiming others do this to you), claimed there is a cult following you, accused people of lying…..is it any wonder you are getting pelters?
Your lack of self-awareness allied with your self-absorption is astonishing.
I was in Sainsbury in Newquay last week, never saw any empty shelves. Even the beer and cider aisle was fairly well stocked considering the weather.
Maybe you should go to Aldi instead of Sainsburys in the Boro. I was in there recently and all the shelves were well stocked. I was even able to buy some diving boots, a mig tig welder combo and some pepperoni pizza pockets

Glad you could get the food staples.
May well have been the case. I rented a house hence we got a delivery there. Of course it just have been a bone idle picker but we get deliveries back homebin Yorkshire every fortnight and rarely have issues.
There's no denying shortages of some items though so I don't know why people are saying otherwise.

Made the first reply yesterday querying why the OP thought pictures of food were being shown as it seemed an imaginative interpretation of the photo.
The assertion that the absence of some supplies of cat food likened us to a third world country seemed equally imaginative.
Linking the absence of some supplies of cat food to shortages of food heightened the level of imagination to new levels.
So I was surprised when I came in from golf today to see the topic had exploded.
No one will be interested but I am happy to report that Tesco in Market Weighton had salmon, noodles and Pac Choi so dinner is saved.
A few gaps on wine and bottled water shelves but apart from that all looked normal.

You're right - Brexit seems to have led to highly imaginative attempts to denigrate the country.

I don’t think seeing empty shelves In Supermarkets and realising Brexit is to blame is particularly imaginative. Just saying what I see really.
I think the opposite. People are getting remarkably creative to try and explain away the failures of Brexit
