No milk or water: Shoppers face shortages at UK grocery stores
Sep 08 2021
Empty shelves in a Sainsbury's supermarket in London
London (AFP) - The supply chain troubles caused by Brexit and the pandemic have been so bad for Satyan Patel that the shelves at his convenience store in central London are seriously lacking water and soft drinks.
“Last week I ran out of Coca-Cola. I haven’t had large bottles of Evian for three weeks,” said Patel.
“Without products, there’s no business. With empty shelves like this, no one is going to come in the shop anyway,” he added.
A wide range of businesses have suffered through shortages for several months in the UK – from milkshakes at McDonald’s to beer at a pub chain to mattresses at Ikea.
But shoppers are also facing empty shelves for things as basic as water and milk at UK supermarkets and grocery stores.
The coronavirus crisis has severely disrupted the global supply chain, but Britain’s divorce from the European Union late last year has exacerbated the problem in the UK.
Shops are not getting products delivered to them as rules making it harder to hire EU citizens has left haulage companies with a drastic shortage of lorry drivers.
Many people who returned to their home countries from Britain during the lockdown have not returned.
Co-op, a cooperative supermarket group, said it was “impacted by some patchy distribution” to its deliveries but it was working with suppliers to re-stock quickly.
The group said it was recruiting 3,000 temporary workers “to keep depots working to capacity and stores stocked as quickly as possible”.
- Where’s the milk? -
According to recent estimates, the UK currently faces a shortage of about 100,000 lorry drivers.
“We had already decided to reduce our stock because of Covid… but now we’re finding it hard to get some products as well because they’re just not available,” Patel said.
One shop assistant said some customers blamed them for the shortages
At a supermarket near his store, the soft drinks aisle was a little short of bottles and cans but other shelves were full.
But 22-year-old sales assistant Toma said the situation was grim.
“We don’t have stock, we have nothing in our warehouse,” said Toma, who declined to give her last name.
“We have gaps everywhere,” she said. “Sometimes we receive only a certain amount (of some products). We don’t even have water.”
The shortages began when the pandemic hit and got worse after Brexit came into force on January 1, Toma said.
Some customers complain to supermarket staff and “say it’s us to blame”, she added.
At another major supermarket in southeast London, water bottles were sparse and milk was missing from shelves.
Frozen-food group Iceland and retail giant Tesco have warned of Christmas shortages.
Iceland head Richard Walker said the company has reduced deliveries as it has 100 fewer drivers than it needs.
“Every day we are missing around 10 percent of the stock we have ordered into our depots,” he wrote in a blog, adding that “when things were at their worst” its sole bread supplier was unable to deliver to as many as 130 stores per day.
- ‘Perfect storm’ -
Shortages of goods in the UK “will probably last for a while and may even intensify further”, according to a note by Capital Economics, a research consultancy.
A report this week from the Confederation of British Industry cited the Road Haulage Association as saying it would take at least 18 months to train enough Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) drivers to replace those who have left.
Signs apologising for the lack of stock are now a common sight in British shops
For the CBI, the dual effects of Brexit and Covid-19 are a “perfect storm”.
Stock levels in relation to expected sales fell by more than 20 percent to a record low across the retail and distribution sector in August, according to the CBI.
The group has urged the government to be more flexible on immigration and add skilled lorry drivers to a list of professions that are short on workers.
Road transport companies and businesses dependent on deliveries are offering bonuses and higher wages in an attempt to retain drivers, but the moves have raised concern that they could contribute to rising inflation.
Ryan Koningen, a 49-year-old project manager at a company in the City of London, said his colleagues often discussed the situation and “the question of costs: will they rise because drivers are paid premiums?”
He too said he had noticed shortages of “day-to-day products”.

Paris attacker in court as historic Bataclan trial begins
Sep 08 2021
The trial of the assailant of the November 2015 attacks in France's modern history
Paris (AFP) - The last surviving assailant of the November 2015 attacks on Paris appeared in court on Wednesday at the start of a historic trial over the night of horror that sent shockwaves through France.
The suicide bombing and gun assaults by three teams of jihadists on bars, restaurants, the Bataclan concert hall and the national stadium – planned in Syria and later claimed by the Islamic State group – left 130 people dead and around 350 physically injured.
The biggest trial in France’s modern history is expected to last nine months.
Only one of the 10 attackers survived.
This court sketch shows Salah Abdeslam, the prime suspect in the November 2015 Paris attacks
Salah Abdeslam, a dual French-Moroccan national, was captured in Brussels after discarding his suicide vest and fleeing the French capital in the chaotic aftermath of the bloodshed.
After remaining silent for years during questioning by investigators, the 31-year-old gave evasive or provocative answers to basic questions at the start of the hearing, stating his Islamic faith when asked to identify himself.
Wearing a black T-shirt and sporting a long, black beard and swept-back hair, he then replied that he was a “fighter for the Islamic State” when asked for his profession.
During a pause in the proceedings after a co-defendant fell ill, the one-time petty criminal shouted angrily that the accused had been “treated like dogs”, but was cut short by the presiding judge.
Graphic on the 20 people on trial over the November 13, 2015 attacks in Paris, in the court case starting on Wednesday.
A total of 14 defendants are being tried in person and six others will be judged in their absence, with most of them facing life sentences.
The trial will last until May 2022 with 145 days of scheduled hearings involving about 330 lawyers, 300 victims and testimony in November from Francois Hollande, who was French president at the time of the attacks.
- ‘For his memory’ -
The start of proceedings has been long-awaited by some witnesses and victims’ families who are hoping for clarity and closure, while for others it represents an unwelcome reopening of painful wounds.
Ninety people died in the Bataclan concert hall shooting
The attack on the Bataclan, where 90 people mostly in their 20s and 30s were massacred as they watched a rock concert, represented the most traumatic of a string of separate attacks claimed by Islamic State over the course of several years.
“I have to be here for his memory,” Cristina Garrido, whose 29-year-old son Juan Alberto died in the Bataclan, told AFP on Wednesday.
She said she hoped Abdeslam would be given a full life prison term, but “I know, too, that the sentence the court hands down will not reduce my pain. I will suffer and I’ll miss Juan Alberto to the end of my days.”
Arthur Denouveaux, a survivor of the Bataclan attack and president of Life for Paris, a victims’ association, said that the trial meant “we are entering the unknown”.
“We’re eager for it to start, but we’re wondering how it’s going to go over the next nine months,” he told AFP.
- ‘Give voice’ -
The files for the trial run to one million pages bound in 542 volumes, detailing an investigation that revealed links between jihadist cells in Paris and Brussels, and their handlers in Syria.
Details of how the squad of killers managed to enter Europe undetected, using the flow of migrants from Islamic State-controlled regions of Syria as cover, is likely to one of the areas of interest during proceedings.
Former French president Francois Hollande is to testify at the trial
Some victims’ families are also wondering if there were any missed opportunities by security forces to prevent the bloodshed.
As well as Abdeslam, the other 13 accused were present in court on charges ranging from providing logistical support to planning the attacks, as well as supplying weapons
They include Osama Krayem, a Swede whom Belgian investigators identified as one of the killers of a Jordanian pilot burnt alive in a cage by IS in early 2015 in Syria. He is also under investigation in Sweden for war crimes.
Of the six tried in absentia, five are presumed dead, mainly in air strikes in Syria.
The horror was unleashed late on Friday, November 13, 2015, when the first attackers detonated suicide belts outside the Stade de France stadium where Hollande was watching France play a football match against Germany.
A group of gunmen later opened fire from a car on half a dozen restaurants and Abdeslam’s brother Brahim blew himself up in a bar.
The massacre culminated at the Bataclan.
