Are these shortages in a few southern supermarkets? Went shopping today expecting no veg and had no issues and even had tomato’s in the reduced section.
Well I guess people should just eat carrots instead of turnips.
Even at the Hight of the first world war the Germans who had nothing still had turnips and they were being blockaded how have we fucked this one up?
Can’t wait to read how the minister in question owns a Turnip farm
Why the fuck do Tories still exist.

I thought she was telling people to look for seasonal vegetables rather than things that are harder to grow all year round here?
The Vegetarian Society says the vegetables below are ‘seasonal’ staples in the UK:
>Apples, Beetroot, Brussels Sprouts, Carrots, Celeriac, Chicory, Jerusalem Artichokes, Kale, Leeks, Mushrooms, Onions, Parsnips, Pears, Purple Sprouting Broccoli, Red Cabbage, Salsify, Savoy Cabbage, Spring Greens, Spring Onions, Squash, Swedes, White Cabbage.
I’ve had no trouble getting tomatoes although all the ones i’ve had over the last couple of weeks have been grown overseas.
Of course half the country has just watched “[Jeremy] Clarkson’s Farm” and knows thst farmers have lost all of their EU sunsidies. Which havent been replaced. Making farming completely uneconomic. Combined with not being able to export food to the EU. Because we’ve decided not to enforce EU rules on food production. So all exports need to be checked by a vet. At about €200 per batch.
We used to fish from Norwegian and Icelandic waters but the deal to fish there was through the EU. So we’ve lost them but we’ve over fished our own waters for the fish that British people like to eat. So now we’re catching fish that would have gone to Parisian and Madrid restaurants but threy sell for pennies per kilo. To anybody who will take them.
Then we can’t hire foreign workers. Instead of Polish and Romanian fruit pickers. We’ve got Nepalese ones, who borrow the money for the flights from a gang master and then get dumped a few weeks into their work. Leaving them thousands of Euros out of pocket.
If Uk stayed in the EU their economy would be probably in great shape right now given they did not depend on Russian gas at all. That would give them an advantage vs Germans & Italians. Is there anything at all that is positive about Brexit? Name one thing. I dare you, mate. God damn Brits committed harakiri and even god did not save the queen.
Not a big loss anyway. There are very few veggies sadder than turnips
This is epic level entertainment. Keep it coming brits!
I’m really confused by this whole situation, why don’t they just eat cake?
guess the turnip rate will hit a really high bell count soon, then
Only P.I.I.G.S used to eat tomatoes in February. UK is “blessed” with the generous donation of
12 million EuroGypsies and Irish Pikeys as a source of Protein. I’ve been told that it is tastier than Romanian horsemeat, which was so generously “specially blended” with Beef a few years ago.
I was at Asda earlier and saw some turnips
Well. That’s a turnip for the books…
Rübenwinter, ey?
Let them eat cake.
While the Tory minister chows down on fresh veggies too expensive for the ‘non-posh’.

I thought a swede was a turnip?
This reads like r/nottheonion

Are you ok, Britain?
