The thing to bear in mind, is that Spain has its own regions that want independence, they'd view allowing Scotland re-entry to the EU as encouraging this

The pendulum could swing both ways. If Spain vetoed a Scottish EU membership without reference to the application's merits, but based on domestic gripes, (should the Scots so wish to apply) then Catalan separatists would have evidence of the irrational pettiness of their current state and an increased desire for their freedom from such irrational loons.

It is. I’m noticing several common items in the shops no longer being available to buy due to Brexit.
Everything, including bad weather, is due to Brexit according to Remainers.

And now they have the chance to leave england and return to the EU, which will welcome them with open arms.
Scotland is a basket case, dependent on English money. I doubt the EU will want to bail them out.

They got a lot of oil. Norway is quite well off with its oil.

Yes, that is a popular myth championed by proponents of anti-independence propaganda. Thank you for echoing it.
Anti independence?
How does Scottish independence tally with handing over its sovereignty to an antidemocratic EU?

It's part of sovereignity to do anything you want with it, including giving some of it away for what you perceive as benefits.

That's what going into an international contract is, as well.

Untrue. But the claims of those two renowned liars Johnson and Farage were very definitely lies.

We have had 40 years of lies from the EU and all UK political parties. Farage was one of the very few who spoke the truth.
Johnson tosses the coin for truth.

In a recent BBC article on IKEA’s supply shortages, the Swedish furniture giant went all in on blaming Brexit for their inventory issues:

“What we are seeing is a perfect storm of issues, including the disruption of global trade flows and a shortage of drivers, which have been exacerbated by the pandemic and Brexit.”

The firm goes on to say that “10% of its stock, or around 1,000 product lines” have supposedly been affected by the Brexit-related shortage. In a separate statement given two days later to Dutch newspaper Dagblad van het Noorden, however, an IKEA spokesperson instead cited the exact same product shortage with a different excuse featuring one notable omission:

“There are major logistical problems worldwide. For example, there is a great scarcity of containers and container ships on important sea routes because the economic recovery from the corona pandemic is proceeding faster than expected. There are also congestion in ports due to the crowds and Chinese terminals were temporarily closed due to local corona outbreaks. Many IKEA products are made in China.”

Both articles list the same 10% stock shortage figure, only one mentions Brexit.

Remainers – and some parts of the media enjoying spinning the narrative on their behalf – are refusing to accept the lorry driver shortage is global: iron ore struggles to reach Australian ports; US petrol stations have run out of supplies after a 35,000 fall in lorry drivers; Asia reports a 20% fall in drivers. As the head of policy at the Road Haulage Association said in August:

“Even if we were allowed to recruit drivers from the EU, there’s a shortage of drivers there as well… The only place that doesn’t have a significant shortage of drivers is Africa.”


There are plenty of economic commentators this side of the channel – IKEA’s PR team included – who have more than a few screws loose…
(FOA @Goonie, Screwfix do a quick turnaround on cheap screws)

Think you are talking petrol here. It's a combo of panic buying and growing pains. Britain will work it out.
And you think there won't be 3 more problems cropping up while they get a hold of this one?
