Tons of organic beetroot left to rot...

Could literally turn swathes of the countryside red with the Council Elections coming up.

Usually these articles they say "I wouldn't have voted for Brexit if I'd have know...blah blah"

This one doesn't so maybe he didn't!

Have all those welsh famers who voted Brexit and will lost a load of money from the EU been moaning yet?

It's hard to tell the difference between when a Welshman is happy or moaning half the time, so who knows.

That would be the case, if the Labour party was actually red and not a salmon version of the Condems from a few years past. No point in voting for any of the mainstream parties if you want to change.

I blame project fear. Had remainers not been spouting those tangible facts and ran a campaign of sexy lies we would still be in the EU, UK and United States.

Not what Major Sharpe would have wanted to see at all.

Wow. if only someone had warned him and his ilk,

Still as the Tories remove more subsidies, and UK farming is exposed to competition - from countries where hormones and unsafe (for food) practices are rife there will be no shortage of buyers for surplus land and farm buildings.

Perhaps some will be those who heeded Redwoods advice and moved their wealth out of the UK before brexit

An old farming saying has

"so you sow, so you shall reap"

I wonder if there are similar sayings for fishermen, hauliers, car assemblers, exporters, the fashion and music industry, shell fish processers etc ?

Finally, someone who can see the whole picture. Thank you, wkj.

"The failure of Brexit IT system and the burden of new customs checks have also added to the hold-ups.

Food producers have warned perishable goods were going bad and losing their value due to the congestion, with some saying delays were costing their business up to £800 per lorry."

and

"It comes as new data from HMRC shows that the number of UK firms exporting to the EU fell 33 per cent during 2021.

“These are really worrying numbers and show the scale of the difficulties UK businesses now face in exporting their products to the EU,” said Michelle Dale of accountancy firm UHY Hacker Young."

What is not shown is how many firms previously based in the UK have packed up and moved back into the EU. Free from crippling UK form filling (an extra 4 million a week), free from labour/driver shortage, and free from the petty restrictions that have become so much part of life since brexit.

Tales of delays at ports will continue just as they will at airports. While those staying at home will find that staff shortages will mean pubs, restaurants, hotels etc closing at peak times.

Perhaps folk need to get used to using their suitcase for picking up booze, as it becomes too expensive to travel, and nowhere is open.

Which pretty much sums up brexit Britain.

It’s a well known fact that bridges build back if you believe hard enough while wearing Union Jack boxers and watching re-runs of The Last Night of the Proms.

I expect someone you to apply the same idiotic bleat to someone being burgled.

Are you being mugged - then move to another street.

And brexiteers wonder why normal society regard them as thick.

However others might suggest that winding up the habitually stupid is not nice - and the reason they no longer squeak out their once well rehearsed slogans

'They need us more than we need them

Forty new deals on day one

Sunny uplands, four legs good... baa baa'


Is that they have forgotten them, not that to do so would be a reminder of just how stupid they were (and still are).

Still the stick insect (Rees Mogg) has vowed to track down a brexit benefit, along with a penny black stamp, a 1933 penny and a Dodo (a thought that you could include an intelligent comment from the stick insect as well, would perhaps make the task almost impossible)
