We’ve got a classic at the moment. European company selling Organic food. We can’t distribute to supermarkets in Noethern Ireland through mainland UK anymore as UK accreditation is no longer accepted.
The product is made in Europe. So we can however ship exactly the same product from Europe to Northern Ireland using the EU accreditation, it just can’t pass through the UK because the accreditation magically vanishes.
Wheels it out for second use this week (lorry queue was the other one)
Nobody could have predicted this, absolutely nobody, out of nowhere it came. Total shock!
But but but – Project Fear!
This was obviously going to happen I have no sympathy for anyone claiming they didn’t realised it would.
>“I cannot understand why we have basically imposed sanctions on ourselves.”
It’ll be great, like in the 1950s when we had our own country and grew our own vegetables. Who wants to eat all that foreign stuff anyway.
/s obvs
SIR John Redwood – From my interview on GMB:
We knew exactly what we were voting for. It is insulting to say that 17.4 million people were too stupid to know what out would look like……
But this is good news – 52% of those who expressed an opinion said so, so it must be true…
FFS – who didn’t see this coming?
Let’s leave a massive muti-nation trading partnership and expect them to come running to us, because that’s going to work…!
It’s almost as if hundreds of experts said that exactly this would happen.
I’ll tell you what we should do… Keep all the Scotch for ourselves! They’ll break before we do.
Prices shot up this week bill was at least 25% more expensive then before and I noticed tons of stuff had shrunk.
It was like turkeys voting for Christmas. This was never about creating a better society for us plebs it was about money making opportunities for the already wealthy.
It’s ok as if your one of the few who were profiting from Brexit you can still buy all those nice things with all that corruption money
Narh can’t be Brexit, they promised us this wouldn’t happen.
So who wants turnips? No? Turnips on slice of potato? No? Really?
…well what about turnip on cabbage leaf? Everyone loves turnip on cabbage leaf
holy shit brexit voters should all be castrated and shipped off to some island to live their bigoted, ignorant lives together and that includes the current crop of corrupt. incompetent tory ministers
In next weeks edition of “predictable outcomes to stupid behaviour”….
A Man who shoots himself in the foot finds out his foot hurts and he is loosing a lot of blood.
On the plus side they are virtually giving tinned sardines away.
Amazing since all these prices going up and products not shipping and stores having less choice it’s really hard to find anyone that voted to leave.. at one point they were everywhere now very quiet in coming forward..
Yeah. Your island cannot feed itself.
How the hell did you collectively *forget* the years 1939-1954 when food was rationed because your island cannot feed itself?
Across the pond we’re making some seriously horrible decisions about our own future, but at least we can feed ourselves.
> Some suppliers ‘cannot be bothered to fill in the additional paperwork’ and have decided to stop sending goods to the UK
Yet another reason to congratulate your local Brexiteer.
I’m vegan and this is probably going to hurt. A lot of vegan food is imported from Europe.
I’m currently eating truffle infused cheese, aioli, mushroom antipasti, peppers, bacon and chicken.
All from Tesco, mind.
Think we’ll be OK.
To quote all of those who voted for Brexit “ This isn’t the Brexit I voted for!!!”
Von der Leyen actually negotiated a higher price for vaccines in private discussions and now she’s deleted the corresponding texts. She won’t pay a price as she’s untouchable.
If you buy local. Produce from a farm shop or similar you won’t have these problems.
Said it was going to happen before Brexit and oh look it happened
Surely the opposite should be happening, what happened to are local food producers , less transport , less fuel and fresher produce
Making domestic production more competitive by making imports more expensive is a reason for leaving the customs union. If some specialist imported yeast now costs more because of customs charges, that opens the door to producing it here.
This is the government’s intention. I’m not convinced it’s a good trade-off myself but they will tell you it will increase production here.
Energy prices up £700 a year…gee thanx brexit voters…

Who remembers this classic?
