Wetherspoons ‘ran out of beer’ and sympathy for Tim Martin was in short supply
Spare a thought – only kidding – for Tim Martin whose Wetherspoon pub chain has been hit by a shortage of beer.
JD Wetherspoon is apparently suffering supply problems because of a lack of lorry drivers, among other things, the same factor that has hit supplies of Nando’s chicken and McDonald’s milkshakes.
It appears that #Brexit is screwing over Wetherspoons an’ all.

Brexit is one of the factors behind the lorry driver shortage and Martin, as you won’t need reminding, is a most ardent Brexiteer who championed leaving the Common Market before the 2016 referendum.
So you won’t be surprised to learn that sympathy for the Wetherspoon’s boss was in short supply.

I think its great Tim Martin is theming his business. Zero beers to go with the zero hours contracts for staff and his zero intelligence or foresight. https://t.co/aFsE1bEhA9

Tim Martin, the boss of Wetherspoons was one of the architects of #Brexit its now backfired on him, he's suffering what he said would never happen, namely beer/staff shortages, I've got no sympathy for this xenophobic dinosaur, you reap what you sow #BrexitReality

Here’s what a Wetherspoons spokesman had to say.
“We are experiencing some supply problems with both Carling and Coors, which means that some pubs do not have the products available.
“We apologise to our customers for any inconvenience caused. We know that the brewers are trying to resolve the issue.”
The whole thing took us back to when this happened.
I really hope Tim Martin never runs into Tim Martin. He's gonna be so angry! pic.twitter.com/DXyW3lyrS8
