A senior executive at a major food retailer has told the BBC it is considering introducing rationing.
Supermarkets already use rationing of sorts to limit the amount of items on special promotions people can buy. "No-one wants to use the r-word, rationing, but in a no deal scenario it will be inevitable. Suppliers are the ones who support and pay for promotions and they have access to point of sale data to make sure they are not being treated as wholesalers."The attitude is very different at discounters like Aldi and Lidl according to a former employee. For them, selling out of an item it is not a problem in the same way as the major supermarkets.
Recently leaked government no-deal preparation documents revealed that in a worst case scenario, flows of imports after three months could still be between 50-70% of current levels. Cabinet minister Michael Gove, who is in charge of planning for a no-deal scenario in exiting the EU, said this was a worst-case scenario and that Brexit planning had accelerated since Boris Johnson became PM.
🐂💩
Good idea, get rid of some of the fatties walking around our streets.
Actually there is a bit of truth in the story. I was in Lidl's in a small Scottish town a few months ago and an Indian woman came in around 10am and bought every carrot in the store and a pile of onions. Presumably for some local business.
lol aus and nz are independent countries...no such thing lol
Don’t suppose for a minute it’s fake news by the supermarket chains to make people stock up,no they would not do such a thing, would they ?
Food losses world wide are mounting due to flooding and droughts! The Chinese, who have climate records going back 4k years know whats coming which is why they have a ghost city for 500k built in Angola and are buying land around the world for food production!
Obesity crisis under control,less of a burden on the NHS,kids fitter to run faster from 'right wing'terrorists plaguing our country🤔 WinWin
Hahahahahahaaaaaaa. 🤡 Defund the BBC.
Better stock up on baked beans and rice then .oo i forgot gravy powder too
And only chicken legs will be available; all the breasts will be sent to Europe. I know it's true; I read it in the 'news'.
Ration away if it mostly EU food I dont buy it anyway and I just won't buy from that supermarket.
Doesn’t UK already throw away a lot of food so why not buy only what u need, maybe this will be better for the environment
Rationing BUSINESS buyers, not domestic.
There is no EU food and drink that cannot be bought from the rest of the world so stop scaremongering
Now you biased BBC employees just have to explain why we will be importing less food from outside the uk. If anything those other countries will jump at the chance to earn more money with us by selling us more to compensate for EU produce.
Oh give it a rest
Will not do any harm , just use it as a bit of a health kick
Absolutely disgraceful peice of writing. I can't bring myself to call it journalism. To think I contributed to their wages makes me sad
That’s ok we won’t be able to get down the aisles anyway because of all the liberal snowflakes laying on the floor drying their undemocratic tears!
Is it any wonder the BBC like C4’s viewing figures are so drastically down year on year?
Notice no named supermarket so total bollocks
😂 😂
'No-one in the BBC wants to use the r-word, reality, but in a Charter renewal scenario in a nation thriving outside the EU, it will inevitably join reduced remuneration, relocation, redundancy, regret and remorse in the lexicon of remainer reporters.'
What a load of bollocks
No one wants to use the S word either- it’s not supermarket but stupidity. R words include ridiculous, rumour & rancour. All applicable to BBC News reporting.
Utter crap, time this assembly of overpaid clowns was shut down.
More of the same from the BBC
I bet Aldi and Lidl aren't peddling this rubbish
Then shop at Lidl or Aldi!
What utter bollocks. During WW2 there were submarines hunting shipping are you seriously saying the EU military are going to fucking blockade the ports of the UK to prevent imports of goods The should be ashamed at this unabashed anti Brexit biased propaganda
Any sane person who believes this is insane
Yeah scare the vulnerable create panic buying BBCfakenews
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 pmsl
What a load of bollox. But would be a good idea to sort out obesity, every cloud 😃
emmyzen Well Britain had rationing when Europe was uniting. They’ll have rationing again to leave. But for how long
🐂💩
Well rationing was alright for the British during the War so why shouldn't it be OK now?
Brexit the ideology that keeps on taking - our rights & freedoms, our medicines, our food.....when is this anti-citizens mendacity going to stop. Right wing Brexiteers are behaving like despotic overlords!
Yeah right - short term profiteering more like.
Looking like lidl and Aldes shelves are going to be empty 🙄🙄🙄
There is absolutely no need to ration! Get their supply chain to be resilient and flexible!
Anti brexit and biased bbc scare mongering
WHAT A LOAD OF BOLLOX...
The supermarkets that mainly stock british food are not expecting any shortages. We do produce food in the UK so not sure why you are printing this ridiculous article.
It would solve the obesity crisis
Maybe they'll stop the mass throw away of food that is still in date!
Lies total rubbish, talk to Aldi and Lidl you scaremongering excuse for National Television
What a load of bolox. Just a ploy to get idiots panic-buying and boost the supermarkets’ short term profits.
Marisol04326417 More Project Extinction Level Event BS from the Brexit Bashing Corporation. we are coming for your licence, BBC... Get preparing to earn your own money!
If project fear proves to be reality will Brexiteers accept they were wrong and shrug their shoulders and say fair enough we were wrong so we will not eat or use medical services because we caused the problem so we should abstain, even if it means we die
Are those supermarkets wonderful, altruistic set ups? fillyerboots
Hahaha it's not even October yet Cant wait for the ' doors of hell will be opened because Brexit ' 'The sun will not come up on the 1st of November ' WERE ALL DOOOOMMMMEDDD 😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂
Fake news 39 trade deals already done
More nonsense
More utter garbage fr the Brussels Broadcasting Company! Scrap the license fee ASAP
Bollocks!
For people that use it as a wholesalers. Not the everyday customer.
Typical BBC. Half truths & lies. They are actually considering rationing smaller independent supermarkets who haven't prepared for Brexit and might simply use the supermarkets as a glorified wholesaler!! This has absolutely nothing to do with rationing Joe Public. Tell the truth!
BBC = Britain's Biggest C***!
Bollox
Oh for goodness sake...
DavidEa61704055 Winter farmers markets? Cauliflowers were ploughed back in to the ground in Kent. Price never changed in supermarkets with the over supply. Shonks.

BBCPolitics Unbelievable
This is gonna be such fun😡
😂👍🏻
FakeNewsBBC The headline is CRIMINALLY misleading. The supermarket has said they will not allow OTHER RETAILERS to use them as wholesalers. Which is common sense, nothing to do with Brexit. The Brussels Broadcasting Corporation is blatantly LYING with this headline.
stop with the bloody scaremongering you bias wankers I can understand why people are stopping paying for their tv license your a disgrace and should be abolished
Nonsense, BBC.
No it really won't ... The utter, utter nonsense the BBC are spewing out now is laughable ... If anything needs rationing it's the drugs the BBC employees seem to be on ....

Didn't know we had a land border with Mexico Senegal Guatemala Kenya so after Brexit nothing will change so sad the BBC Propaganda campaign will be proved to Be fake news... it should still be able to source food from Aldi & Lidl you know...
More scaremongering by the .
More propaganda from BBC trying to encourage panic buying which will result in shortages. Filth corporation should be closed down !
If there's nothing to eat in the supermarkets, I'll just have to eat in restaurants all the time. No problem really.
Typical BBC fakery.
Twaddle. Paparazzi standard of journalism now the norm, even for the once much respected BBC.
There's going to be a lot of egg on remainers faces on Nov 1st to feed the population for weeks.
Why is this such a surprise, with no trade agreements in place items like produce, medicines etc will all be in short supply. Rationing will be a reality.
BBCPolitics What a load of project fear bollocks.
Nice fear mongering you got there
Inevitable so it's not a prediction then so we can officially call you lying barstewards when it doesn't happen. Wow you're getting desperate but then I think you know the BBC is dead for selling out to the EU scum.
FakeNews
Oh ffs not again. I suppose the bbc are used to repeats.
The bile the now totally un British BBC UN propaganda channel spews springs to new highs.
Local shop owners come to our Supermarket, but literally all of something, repackage it and sell it at a profit. Especially fruit and veg that is reduced because it is going out of date.
Just to be clear, this applies only to traders *potentially* using supermarkets as trade suppliers. You are deliberately misleading.
I'm going round all my local smarkets to buy up as much non perishable food as I can find room to store. Happy now? 😬😡🙄
😂
OMG may not be able to have strawberries and tomatoes at Xmas. We're doomed. Cut the projectfear clap trap. Let's get away from the failing EU Brexit LeaveMeansLeave
So the Brexiteers will get their dream : back to the good old war days...
No-one wants to use the r-word BBC, but you're ridiculous, there I've said it. You made me. Clickbait tweets, completely misleading by the BBC - very much like most of their 'news' output.
This supermarket wants naming and shaming so its customers can stay away and go to a competitor. Have these ‘executives’ not learnt from the Aldi & Lidl onslaught that they chose to ignore while it happened? Horse and stable door comes to mind.
Bullfuckkng shit
🙄😴💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤
Sounds like my life story, like how greedy have people become to Black Friday panic buy. It's an activity to show all what it looks like so they can for themselves understand constraints placed upon them from educational practice's before adulthood.
More bollox from the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation. Every day a new fear story. Every day the rhetoric ramped up. Every day is nearer to the day I stop paying the licence fee to this totally anti Brexit biased organisation.

Wow luckily no one can starve in the UK, it's Cabbage season 🤣🇬🇧
Wow, still going on about Project Fear, we should get a petition going to debate the end of the BBC in parliment, reckon millions would sign it!
Will the ration books be blue? The BBC has been promoting Brexit for the last 5 years, so for your sakes I hope it will be as wonderful as the BBC promised it would be.
Oh good should help cure obesity
Good
You try and ration us and see what happens!
Of course this is big BBC news. Nothing about trade deals that are in the offing if we leave clean. This is about rationing to businesses that would cause a shortage by stockpiling.
What a load of bullshite scaremongering the BBC have yet again spouted.
Spam fritters for everyone. It’ll do them good.
Scaremongering again 🤔
As most of the RoI imports come via the UK, does this mean they will be rationing too?

It can’t even name the supermarket because it’s just more B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T
Let me help you with that....... The NHS say a no deal Brexit will go a long way to solving the UKs growing obesity crisis saving the UK billions in hospital admissions and loss of working hrs and free up GP appointments... fixed it 👍🏻so depends how you look at it
Wasn't that YOUR job, really? To explore, question & report the foreseeable consequences of disastrous political decisions & policies?
That should help with the obesity problem
Aghh, how nostalgic is that? Recreating the 1950's for the millennium generation to re-live.
MexicoRS78 what bollox, check out food wastage by top supermarkets per year.
How can any serious journalist, let alone our national broadcaster, put out stories like this? It’s beyond laughable. BDS
Stop. Lying. Now.
A no-deal exit just before Winter begins to set in. Won't be funny in any language, that's for sure.
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies!
Combination of fake 45 damage and Brexit process will surely cause recession.
So if a business uses a supermarket like a wholesaler, then do they pay VAT or do they rob the Treasury by hiding this?
oh ffs, 'supplier' in 'claims fake supply issue' to create panic and drive demand to boost profits shocker, oldest trick in the book 🤦♂️ ...
If only BBC news reported the facts from the get go instead of sucking up to the lying charlatans.
I don’t remember being rationed pre common market. Load of bullshit typical BBC government mouth piece

If there’s any rationing by a supermarket then it will be entirely down to their own poor management. There may be tariffs and even some minor delays but trade is not going to cease.

martin_oxley It definitely won’t look like this. Can you believe a formerly wealthy country is prepared to do this to its own citizens off the back of an illegal and advisory tin pot referendum, taking back control is the last thing we’re doing!!😡

Supermarkets will sell what they can even if it means empty shelves. If anything they will shorten opening hours to save money and manage shortages that way if it got bad.

Spoken with many Brexiteers in last 3 years. Not uncommon for older Brexit supporters who lived through rationing to be in favour of it. Generally those with this view see young as having too much & that managing on less is a good thing. I expect they will welcome this news.

More scaremongering by the silly people and the best of it the remoaners believe it i did say silly people
YAWN at the biased BBC, why has that scrub tax we are forced to pay still not been withdrawn. End the TV licence TAX
What would major retailers know about retail hey? I believe most of the people on here. They know the score!
Rubbish
BBCPolitics Lol
joncowap Obesity will be an all time low in that case, an actual positive news story from the bullshit broadcasting corporation, bring on Leaving the EU 👍🏻
Looking forward to walking the streets shouting ‘PUT THAT LIGHT OUT’
Are y’all ok over there? I mean, we are not doing any better here in the US, but this headline makes me think yikes!!
Rubbish
It’s peacetime. This is not normal. Repeat. THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
Apart from the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation. How I hope the end of the TV tax is next, so that we don't need to pay for your propoganda.
FCUK OFF!
So a scare mongering headline again when the man actually says “we do it already “ oh bbc you are naughty.
Stop trying to Scare everyone , it’s immature and unacceptable. I’m a remainer myself but I would hardly behave so childishly about it.
Also, notice that this ‘source’ is not named, nor is his organisation: Remainer propaganda again.
Lies, fam. They'll always be a little chicken shop somewhere. Nobody will go hungry! 🐔
Maybe the rationing will apply to funding for the BBC
Next thing after rationing the BBC will be informing us that the EU are getting ready to send their airforce to begin bombing
Project fear is back 🙄
Another day, another anti BREXIT story What’s Thursday’s going to be? Pets to be slaughtered for food?
More than anything else, once we are out of the EU Ponzi I hope the next job is sorting out the rancid and failing BBC
We’ll survive 🇬🇧
And the worlds going to end on October 32nd
Nonsense.
As long as Tory bastards suffer I’ll be happy
All those making WW2 references will love it then. Round up a few collaborators and enjoy the 'big lie'. RejectBrexit
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 feckin hilarious. The countey is awash with food, fattys steuggling to gwt 3000cals a day to maintain their 'unable to work' status. Wish there would be a shortage, slim some people down and make us less attractive to the gimmegrants. Feckin propaganda.
Brexit is great everything will be perfect nothing will go wrong this time next year we will all be millionaires.
The bbc are part of this bullshit
Hopefully the food wasted by supermarkets and households will drop then if it's going to be that bad.
More scare mongering: what utter bollocks
Alarmist clap trap yet again
You never cease to disappoint with your remainer bias and I've stopped watching the BBC pretty much because of it.
Which one? .... You've omitted to say
More glaringly obvious fear mongering propaganda by the BBC. ' ... said the executive, who spoke to the BBC on condition of anonymity'. 🤣 FAKENEWS
If Remain MPs and Remain MSM do not want a No Deal Brexit maybe they should stop the scare tactics and support Boris in his attempts to get a deal.
I’ve already started stocking up on food, cat food and medication for myself and the cat. I’m not taking any chances.
BBCPolitics Scaremongering Brussels Broadcasting Corporation, Asda has just stated shopping has fallen, make your minds up. Time to scrap the license fee NOW
Well it’ll help with the obesity epidemic. Some positive news .
BBCPolitics This is appalling journalism. The 'anonymous' source is quite clear that they are talking only of limiting bulk buying by other traders. You retweeted this earlier, direct from the journalist, and have steadily ramped up the hysterics with every further clickbait headline.
Yeah............. sure. 💤💤💤💤
We did eat before we joined the EU, what alot of absolute nonsense, the bbc do not deserve the cost of the license fee.
More from the brexit bashing coroporstion, glad I ditched the licence fee, I spend it all on hookers now.
hmm me, living far from UK, cannot see it's a truth or a lie, but replies to this tweet show how tough Brexit will be.
Bollocks
😂😂 this is funny. U really believe this?😂😂
wonder who dreams it all up
Finally reporting the truth about Brexit, I see. Took you long enough. Will you now hold the Conservatives accountable for this mess?
It's not just about smaller Toblerones anymore.
BBC must be taking instructions from the eu or pro remain X ministers.... just remember who pays your Bill's . Maybe researching positives for a change. That would be worth a wat h
Yawn....!
Today’s fearmongering episode of “How Brexit is going to kill you” brought to you by the beeb 🤦♂️
So what! We had petrol rationing in the early seventies nowt to do with Brexit.....WOW we all survived!! At least the moaning snowflakes haven’t had to cope with the huge mortgage interest rates that we did! Oh that was nowt to do with Brexit either!!
Getting sick to death of the pathetic scaremongering bollocks the BBC keep coming out with. My god do you really think that the general public are so stupid to believe the crap you keep broadcasting and the one sided leading questions from your interviewers.
🐂💩
Were all doomed...doomed...oh wait...we have Aldi...were saved.
Bullshit
🤣
It's bad enough when it's Christmas time , the shelves are sparse so lord only knows how long the shelves will be empty after Brexit - and don't forget they do not call Spain the garden of Europe for nothing.
Noice, I’ll cancel the gym membership.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🍷🤣🍷😴😴
Quit it already BBC using the fud factor to panick people, you are no longer an impartial organization who deals in facts but an opinionated mouthpiece for Members of the BBC board and senior management. People can no longer trust what you say breakupthebbc
johnsweeneyroar Congratulations Mr Putin!
ProjectFear Bullshit
Reality and restraint are a couple of R words Britain is crying out for
Project fear strikes again from the BBC. You should be ashamed how bias you are towards remain
BBCPolitics 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg BBC again Its war
BBCPolitics LOL. Hoping for no deal so your scaremongering is proven wrong. We can then abolish you.
The headline is ' business buyers ' . Don't worry leavers. No one with a brain and s business would have voted to fuk up the economy on purpose.
BBCPolitics Given that we tend to be obese as a nation, then surely these alleged food shortages (purely fictitious) should be seen as a yet another advantage of Brexit. UKIP
Haha utter BS. Keep going though, not long left for this nonsense.
BBCPolitics Expert - ‘this is happening and these are the reasons why’ (no deal Brexit) Brexiters - project fear lalalala.
BBCPolitics FFS
Get behind your government and country and stop with all the negative vibes.
Corrupt BBC again spouting crap
Name them! If they want to be fearnongets they shouldn’t get to hide behind the BBC
Rationing small shops that buy up all the offer stock to profiteer. It happens now. Nothing new here.
Bull,just bull
Conjecture and scaremongering
A senior executive at a major food retailer is BULLSHITTING. In recent months Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury's, etc have all opened more than 20 new stores each?
BBC, you've always had a very strong bias towards Remain, but in recent weeks it has been taken well out of context. Frankly ridiculous, why should anyone have to pay the license fee to be mislead by Fake and Biased News.
Lol brexiters going mad at the bbc. They love Britain so much, apart from: The British bbc The British royal family The British gov't The British weather Haha.. fuk off.
More bollocks. Supermarkets already ration by not allowing corner shops to buy up the bait offers. Most people buy one or two of each thing so in effect self-ration. It’s more bollocks
BBCPolitics
STILL omitting Brexit breakthrough news in favour of ProjectFear Auntie?
I see project fear is still going strong
Bullshit 😂😂😂
Utter hyperbole. Every supply chain and international trade professional in the UK and the EU should take two months holiday from the 1st November 2019. They may as well because if are to be believed they aren’t going to be doing their jobs after Brexit.
FFS bbc have you no shame! You should be prosecuted and the license fee scrapped for your fear mongering.
There absolutely no limit to BBC pro-EU, anti-Brexit propaganda! No rationing there!
BBCPolitics This is a fairly misleading tweet. They explicitly state that it shouldn’t impact individuals but rather small businesses looking to buy in bulk.
Why doesn't BBC start rationing the bullshit?
BBCPolitics Give it a rest.
BBCPolitics Looking at the comments, I see the Brexiters are still at stage 1 of grief, although bordering on stage 2.
You do know the EU have plans in place for food and transport to continue in ano deal situation at least for the first 9- 12 months after the UK exit date
Have you listened to yourselves BBC? You look mighty foolish.
Project fear still running then FFS really, if there were Olympic medals for talking ourselves into recession and drama, we would win gold hands down. We survived before the EU and we will after.
As posted moments ago to SKY (so called) News.
More crap from the BBC. When will you give it a rest?
UK dont have anything better to do, its feels like decades since this brexit been discussed
Tired of this bollocks now. Will all these people apologise when it’s all shown to be nonsense? Probably not.
More fake news
BBCPolitics Yet more WW2 analogies, only this time rather less emotional and more pragmatic. The strange thing is that all of this is voluntary, and need never happen. If somebody had put this in a manifesto, who would vote for it?
Ooooo 👻scary
BBC stop scaremongering and every other bloody tabloid
BBCPolitics
BBCPolitics Because of the News media trying to stir up panic buying to CREATE a situation they can blame on Brexit! 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄
BBCPolitics BBC BOLLO*KS
Please stop the scaremongering........remember the millennium bug,just keep calm and carry on
Can any MSM find anything that could be positive from Brexit? There must be SOMETHING! Or are they just content to muddy the waters.....? 🤔
More calories in beer than food, I’m off to Wetherspoons for the cheap ale.
In a shock to no-one
