#p.s. i bought the bottle because i love my dad but FUCKING HELL

[reiverreturns]

so my dad’s birthday is coming up and today i went to go buy him a bottle of his favourite whisky. it’s not the most common bottle but you used to be able to find it in sainsburys or waitrose for around £50 without too much bother.

imagine my shock today when i spend two hours just trying to find places that had it in stock, only to find it priced at one hundred and twenty pounds sterling from a uk supplier. that is stupid money for a non-specialist whisky.

so i look further, i dig deeper. i find a whole host of german and spanish shops who sell it for around €60 (a totally reasonable amount and within actual value of that whisky.) annoying that i’ll have to risk getting it shipped but hey, perfect otherwise. ohohohoho, not so fast bitch. none of these sites will ship to the uk. n o n e. i can get a bottle of whisky shipped to tanzania but not scotland, where, you know, it’s fuckin’ MADE.

anyway. if you wanted to see an example of brexit in action, it’s this. if you wanted to know what it’s like living in the uk, it’s this applied to every possible facet of your life whilst our government squawks about ‘freedoms’ and ‘removing bureaucratic red tape’ and ‘economic opportunity’ like a parrot shoved up nigel farage’s ass.
