Shopper threatened with weapon in 'row over last slice of meat' in Grimsby store

I find this funny and a bit scary at the same time. It's not even been a week yet of the lockdown in the UK. Let's just hope it's not going to get any worse. I know in Italy they've had a few problems but they have been in lockdown for longer and stricter lockdown too.

You can take my meat when you can pry it from my cold, dead, hands!

That didn't sound right, did it.

Sorry.

I'll leave now.

To be honest the food shortage hit us hard and quick here in the UK. In all my years I've never seen shops so bare ..... I dont understand where it's going. I know theres a lot of truckers on the road trying to meet the demand but it's still odd how even the basics are so hard to come by, especially in this country.

I suppose those who lived through ww2 have seen this before..... but it's certainly a shock to the system for my generation.

A shock to your system and a wake up call as well.

Weapon? Silly Britain Guns is for us Americans, your not allowed weapons. Screwdriver?? Don’t make me laugh, you people call a carpenter’s tool a weapon?? Yay Britannia!!

Well, a screwdriver has a long,shaft with a pointy tip,I
think it could be used as a weapon.

I'm lucky enough to have 'woken' a long time ago

If big men fight then get right out of the way . It happened in pub more than once where they were knocking seven bells from each other all over the whole bar room for 10 straight minutes .Seriously, don't be near fights

A screwdriver is very handy for helping those with 'loose screws'..... I'm sure the US has those types too.

having visited grimsby several times

it does earn the moniker - " grim "

and its denizens are a horde of incestuous fishwives

so - this is in no way a reflection on the general UK situation

I blame it on people, if they weren't idiots to begin with, they would know how to act.

Is some it being hoarded by the UK government I wonder.

I wondered this myself if I'm being honest.... it will be needed more after the event..... whatever that maybe.
