Euro consumers mock Brits with photos of full supermarket shelves.

 Empty shelves in Britain's supermarkets

The Germans call it schadenfreude, the English, malicious joy. Europe's consumers are mocking Brits with photos of supermarket shelves piled high with an abundance of tomatoes, lettuces, cucumbers, and fruit.

The bad weather in North Africa and Spain doesn't seem to have led to a shortage of salad foods in other parts of Europe. I shop in Aldi, and they've been having supply problems for ages.

Justin King, the former CEO of Sainsbury's, blames Brexit for "horribly hurting" UK supermarkets which he says has led to supply shortages in British supermarket and dwindling supplies of fruit and vegetables.

Isn't it about time the British stopped kidding themselves about the benefits of Brexit and admit that it has been an unmitigated disaster.
