I think if people can't get their pig in blankets (apologies to all the non-meat-eaters out there) with their Brussels (pun intended) then this could be the end for Brexit......

Just one small problem; sell their houses to who, Ben? Fcking Aquaman?

And of course dimwit brexiteers can't manage to do it for themselves.

As an aside, there was an interesting bit low-paid jobs in agriculture in California during Simon Reeve's documentary about the Americas last night.

The huge number of farm labourers in California are entirely Latinos, and most of them illegals. Reeve talked to Mexicans who were harvested sugar beet by hand (!) (In of course The Greatest Nation On Earth, which appears to have no beet harvesting machines).
There was an attempt a few years ago to encourage legit Americans to do those jobs.

Millions of people visited the website. Twelve people enquired about work. Four took jobs. All of them had left by the end of the first day.

Local butchers may start to come back to the high street.
It will be the supermarkets who go for the US Beef and Chicken that we will import under Trumps Trade deal*.
The local butcher will sell UK sourced meat and that will be an attraction to a lot of shoppers.

* It's the deal that Trump will hand us whether we like it or not. Our negotiating hand will be weak.

Well, I regularly visit three different local butchers, and I don't recall any of them selling the American abomination of 'pigs in blankets'.

Pigs in blankets here are something entirely different and quite honestly, an abomination. They are not chipolatas wrapped in bacon for starters.

One of my favourite brexit sub-stories this.

All of the farmers: lets get out of the EU with their meddling rules (meaning: we're such dyed in the wool right wing tories that we swallow their nonsense unquestioningly).

Also all the farmers: Oh no, we can no longer take advantage of the dirt cheap, reliable, hard working foreign labour any more. Won't somebody think of the poor farmers.

Harsh on farmers there Dubbers. My now admittedly ex farmer side of the family wouldn't think like that. I remember my Granddad explaining how baffled he was by the rules around "set aside" land when I was little, but changing his mind on it.

Although one lad I went to school with is openly anti-Corbyn, and makes it quite clear he only wants Brexit as he thinks he'll make a much bigger profit margin on everything he does. But regardless of profession, his family seems like your standard well to do country types who are Tory as they come any way.

It is also an industry that has been hammered and squeezed for decades now, from milk prices to foot and mouth etc. You can see why they false promises of Brexit might actually make sense and appeal to them.

Christmas is too materialistic and completely commercialised, forget Brexit and remember we should be celebrating the coming of our saviour Jesus Christ.

And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade"

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

– Matthew 21:12—13

Ah you mean sexy invented Jesus. I see him on the phone wallpapers of many of the little old Hispanic women in my neighbourhood. You know that Jesus, the one with rippling muscles, blonde haired and blue eyes...

I'm not entirely convinced their interest in him is entirely holy to be honest...

The point being made is Christmas should only be about the coming of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ and not a materialistic life.

The teachings of Matthew 21:12—13 tells us Jesus and God are to be worshipped and not to be used commercially to make money, this is why he flipped the tables of the money makers and drove out the money makers.

"Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade."
