LONDON - Britain will experience shortages of some fresh foods for weeks or even months if a disorderly no-deal Brexit leaves perishable produce rotting in lorries at ports, Britain’s food and drink lobby warned on Wednesday.
“We’re not going to starve but there will be shortages of fresh food and some specialist ingredients. It’s going to be a little bit unpredictable,” the Food and Drink Federation’s Chief Operating Officer Tim Rycroft told Reuters. Britain imports around 60 percent of its food by the beginning of November - just the time that delays caused by a no-deal Brexit could be clogging up ports and motorways, Rycroft said.
And some
Shear desperation from the establishment,! This is in the same category of the “job losses and recession” forecasts for just voting to leave!! A load of absolute bollocks!! Shame on you UK
As long as we have bread milk and tatties we will be ok

Lol
Scare campaign.
ICHEOKU says in that case, United States of America’s farmers no longer need the goodwill of the Chinese government. They can feed the paltry 80 million Brits and so easily. Salute
Buy some from portugal seeing as they have plenty they cant export without approval from the EU. They desperately need the funds too. Win, win. Fuck the EU.
