Post Brexit food

firecracker for gods sake give it a rest with your constant refusal to listen to those people who are experts in their field. You don’t have to trawl the internet, you only have to read the paper and listen to the BBC.

It isn’t beyond your wit surely to do that?

Whitewave for God's sake give it a rest with your constant doomsayer predictions, do you trawl the Internet to find these so called experts.

God almighty pantglas are you for real?

Do you think that there will sufficient vegetables and fruit to go around.

Imagine if the whole of the U.K. did what you are suggesting I’ve never heard such stupidity in my life.

How do people in inner city flats buy local?

I was going to make a sarky comment about trifling problems, but I'm just incredulous.

I too make a trifle on Boxing Day - using blackberries and raspberries picked and frozen this autumn.....but I know it is beyond the wit of many to think that way!

I can't see there being any rationing, Ww2 because that would have to be organised and publicised well in advance and might well alert too many members of the public to the unmitigated disaster about to unfold. Which would lead to even earlier panic buying and, I suspect, protests which might become violent.

Of course, the panic buying in itself could well lead to violence. We don't, as a society, seem to be quite as restrained as we were during the 70s era of panic buying.

There is a lot of nonsense being talked on this thread.

firecracker what an extraordinary and silly statement. We have the food suppliers, the doctors the haulage industry all warning us about the chaos being caused by this clapped out ideology. Yet you choose to believe - who? You haven’t the first clue and your sort of ignorance is bringing this country to its knees.

pantglas saying that we should eat our local food in season, shows an ignorance about the ability of our agriculturists ability to provide sufficient food during the winter months.

The produce simply isn’t there.

grannygravy the panic buying will simply make a bad matter worse. That is all. There will be shortage whether there is panic buying or not.

In order to avoid panic buying and ensuring that the wealthy and middle class grab the most there will have to be some sort of rationing. You cannot expect the standard of behaviour you are describing, people simply look after number one.

We won’t starve I’m sure.

I could send you food parcels from Brittany but will possibly be on the ferry back having been told to 'remove' from France?! ?
Not smiling really.

I think that ignoring the evidence that is accumulating is rather sticking your head in the sand. We're in for a rocky ride, the only question will be just how rough it's going to get. Still we have Boris at the helm.

I heard an interview with a "supermarket executive" where he said that one of the biggest contributing factors in there being empty shelves in the case of a no deal Brexit is panic buying by shoppers.

I think we all need to take a deep breath, and carry on as normal.

One of my friends is already moaning that she won’t be able to get strawberries for her trifle on Boxing Day.... why don’t folks just eat local food in season?

Project Fear ? we've heard it all before.

Competition laws may be suspended, and government is to direct the food supply.

October 31st is the worst date that could be chosen.

Domestic crops coming to an end and food supplies from abroad hit in.

Christmas looks dodgy this year, lots of ingredients look to be in short supply.

Start planting your gardens and window boxes.

What a situation this country is in to even be imagining food rationing in the C21st We have just had, 10 years of austerity and now the promise of food rationing
It’s a total disgrace and the government and the other parties that have allowed this to happen should be totally and utterly ashamed of themselves
