Johnson asking Brazil for emergency food supplies

It makes me laugh (despair actually) when I hear talk of Christmas having to be cancelled because of Covid/shortage of HGV drivers/food shortages etc. Christmas may have to be different because of those things, but the celebration of whatever you celebrate can still go ahead, whether its the birth of Jesus Christ, or the mid-winter festival, or just a family get together.
Let's focus on what is important in life, and not the trivia.

It'll be turkeys and Johnson will then present himself as 'saving Christmas' by his clever trading.

All these worried comments about air miles and poor British workers and agreements in emergency trade with Brazil and turkeys... when there are no actual facts on the matter so far.

give me ? Wellington any Christmas Day ….stuff Turkeys I say ?

Yes, tasty. I'm not keen on turkey but DH thinks it isn't Christmas without it. No turkey wouldn't worry me but he'd be upset and I'd still feel sorry for our farmers.

Leave the poor turkeys alone and eat up your veggies why does everyone HAVE to eat a turkey for crying out loud ???

No, I don't remember that either.

It’s incredible that some people would rather see turkeys flown from Brazil than help British farmers get the workers they need.

Perhaps they could fly here themselves.

No Gill I don’t.

What will they do when he's no longer PM lemongrove.

Cheer probably. Then tell those of you that voted for him that I was right all along, and I told you so, but you told me to get over it. Remember?

I’ll supply the champagne - although not French but some lovely stuff from Cornwall.

Our businesses will need all the support they can get, until Brexit is booted out.

Alegrias1, please put me down for the All-Gone-Boris party whenever we can have it. I'll do some garlic bread with a real French baguette. grin

Me too?

This is just nuts!

A Turkey farmer on LBC.

We are more likely to buy turkeys from the EU apparently, whilst our farmers are ruined.

Yes lemongrove ?
The promise to Get Brexit Done undoubtedly played a big part in Boris’s landslide victory in the GE.

If he is seen to be the saviour of Christmas by ensuring there were sufficient turkeys he’d be unbeatable wouldn’t he ?!

‘Starmer stymied by turkeys’ !

I can see The Sun headline now!!

Aleg we don’t know, but it’s entirely possible that Johnson will recapture popularity by two years time.Even in one years time.Even by Christmas. ‘A week is a long time in politics’ and
‘Events, dear boy, events!’

Or have a roast turkey feast??

We’ve done that one already the worriedwell ????

People celebrate in their own way, I might not have a party but I might well put bunting out. Each to their own.

Will it go any better than his promises about last Christmas? That didn't go well did it, might be better if he keeps his mouth shut and doesn't jinx it again

why would the Conservatives get rid of him if he’s still popular?
