Asda and Morrisons rationing fruit and Veg


I'm not a political animal so don't have the ability to analyse to the nth degree.

I do think generally that their idea was to have a referendum, get a remain vote, put it to bed and move on.

When it was voted in favour they just looked at each other and said "shit, what do we do now?"

It doesn't help that instead of pulling together and dealing with it in unity, we've had years of discord and arguments
Cameron made it an election pledge to try and garner votes to get reelected. When he did, he had to go through with it, still thinking no one would be daft enough to vote for it. We voted out. He fucked off and left the shit behind. All self interest marra, and we are f***ing stuck with it.
 
You literally asked 'What's the problem in Morocco?'

You literally said it was transport problems as the Moroccan supply train goes through Spain and France. Which of course makes no sense. Unless the bad weather is affecting the Spanish roads.
The problems we are having are caused by British and Dutch producers who have produced less because of high energy costs to heat greenhouses. Coupled with bad weather in Spain and North Africa has affected their crops. It's nowt to do with supply trains going through France and Spain.
 
Not sure sure conned, more ‘let down’. If those in power had simply all accepted the result, and the country did as well, all that energy could’ve been spent working on deals and trying to get the best for the UK, but we pissed about far too much and have screwed ourselves.
They did accept the result. Parliment voted to enact article 50 in Feb 2017, so I'm not sure why you think it wasn't accepted?

Ah, you've chosen to ignore everyone within the industry and gone for the official Tory line. Fair enough, that's how we got Brexit in the first place.

There's a slight dip in production from some areas, this problem would have already been solved pre Brexit. Post Brexit we're just going to have to put up with it for a couple of weeks.

I know it's hard to take when the reality of Brexit comes to bite the country on the arse, but that's not my fault.

What are you on about? You said it was transport problems through Spain and France that's what I questioned. You just made that up.
I've taken the BBC line if that's alright with you.
I see the usuals from the politics forum are all over this now. The thread wants moving it's now a brexit thread. Put it with the hundreds of others over there.

Ireland is affected as well.

You know what I mean and are just trying to get an argument going. Sorry but I'm not pandering to that.
Brexit has affected Ireland as well. Goods going to Ireland from the mainland used to pass through GB, now they've either got to go on longer ferry routes from the mainland, or overcome paperwork to go through GB.


This will have an affect on fruit and veg supplies to Ireland. Are any other northern European nations suffering shortages?

Literally the post above, someone has linked an explanation.

You asked what the problem was with Morocco, I explained to you that the supply chain runs through the EU. This has stopped the problem being solved.

There are many causes to the problem and some are related to Brexit, but most are not. However the solution to the problem has been prevented by Brexit and only Brexit. I even took the time to briefly explain how these kind of problems have been solved pre Brexit.

This is the new reality, doesn't matter if you take the huff or not.
