It's a load of old nonsense

if the EU wont supply us the rest of the world will

Most of us eat too much anyway, or the wrong kind of stuff.

Indeed, they will. Eventually. What will you eat in the meantime?

There's all that spare food just waiting around is there?

How sure are you? As you like gambling, how about gambling the contents of your food cupboards if it turns out to be true (even slightly)?

Yup, as long as we can manage on your food stocks till they get that all sorted out.

Cheers, T i m

there isn't going to be an immediate shortage

They are talking about the need to stockpile a years worth of stiff

completely ridiculous

have you looked in the supermarket and seen how much we import from ROW already?

They sell to the highest bidder

and we can afford to be that person

(we'll also have to eat all that wonky veg that currently thrown away)

Don't be silly. Brexiteers all think we can grow things - on that money tree. They seem to be all about importing things as cheaply as possible without a thought on how we earn the money to pay for them.

where does the money come from?

I have never heard such unadulterated crap as that generated by this brexit tomfoolery.how about just shut up till it happens, Henny Penny, the sky will not fall in.

Have you noticed that remoaners knock others for believing all the crap during the referendum but are prepared to belive all the crap published recently without using any any common sense filtering. Perhaps the brain dead bigoted racist sun readers are the intelligent ones in the country after all!

And tax (more) the Brexiteer richer. After all, they only did this to get richer.

I'd be pretty sure. When I worked in s supermarket we used to skimp on putt ing out the suger we had bags we brought cheap and I mean bags measuring wh en stacked over 6ft high and about 4ft by 4ft. Impling there was a shortage , it's amazing how stupid peole can be, then putting the price up and putti ng a few dozen bags out every hour so it looked like we had limited stocks, fooled everyone, who kept coming in buying more than they needed. We did t he same with butter but we couldn;t keep as much due to needing refridgerat ion.

what's even slightly true actually mean ? But I would do it double or nothi ng.

BTW more people are still entering the country than leaving.

What do you thinbk it will do to the EU econamy if as we buy more than we s ell we stop buying french cheese and wine, what will happen first will we a ll never drink wine or eat cheese again, what will happen the Frances expor ts of cheese.

Lets try Germany we wonl;t be able to buy Gernam cars is that what your say ing well we import more german cars than anywhere in the EU does, so if we don;t buy them do you think they;'l find a new market buy the end of the we ek perhaps syria .

What you fall to understand about economies is that a buyer needs a seller and a seller needs a buy cut one off the other is affected.

The EU will fall apart as it find it;s can't support itself without the bil lions the UK pumps in and the exports they send us.

The EU will try and do a Trump by appling tarrifs and what has that done f or the USA ? a start of shortfall of 12 billion to the US farmers, and tha t;s just because of a few products not a whole nations food supply.

Have you noticed it's packed in small single use plastic bags.

Wouldn't get me buying wonky veg until it's individual wrapped by refugees :-)

We can but most of us don't earn money from growing things.

I know how I'll earn it, from foreign students who pay more than UK ones, as we have been doing for 2 decades or more, better to ignore the home students and get money from the better off foreign ones. For some reason they see the UK as good at education, as for the rest of you if you aren't in the service or banking sectors you better start practicing fruit picking.

The sky won't fall in but we're going to be less well off and improvements in standard of living will happen more slowly than in other countries.

Britain will once again become the shabby part of Western Europe. Meanwhile countries we looked down to economically, such as Ireland, are forging ahead.

We have run down our customs posts, because so much stuff comes through on the nod. It will take time to recruit and train new people. Build new infrastructure, etc. So, yes, if we crash out of the EU there will be an immediate shortage.

There's no point in you, personally, buying a year's worth of baked beans, because if you look well-fed the mob will take them away from you.

What I keep asking Charles. Many don't seem to be in the least bit worried about firms relocating at least part of them outside the UK because of Brexit, with precious few doing the opposite.

All they seem worried about is being able to buy cheap rubbish food from the US. And some noisy boat anchor of a vacuum cleaner that probably doesn't even exist.
