Do you think he’s lying or just a fool ?
Idk what he means by collapsed, probably means a different thing to what you do though, which was pretty hardcore, like mass starvation type thing, which is quite a high bar.
Oh yeah.
A thank you to Brexiteers.

I had to buy dried rosemary instead of fresh today. Let the games begin.
But honestly it is a bit grim now going to either of my local supermarkets & has been for some time, never once seen them looking fully stocked for weeks. My both local towns are fairly small towns & I wonder if that has anything to do with it idk.

Is there something stopping you growing rosemary?

I have a plant but it’s not very well

Oh yeah, what? They're still nothing like genuinely empty and never will be.
As far as Burnett is concerned, I've no idea. He's clearly not an unbiased source though so let's wait and see what the state of the supply chain actually is in 3 weeks.

Give me a call when the shops are Genuinely Empty - was that a real thing that you actually meant to say like until then stop whining it’s all fine?
One unexpected boom industry post brexit is shit quality wafer thin trolls.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
I understand this is part of why so many applicants to the Pick for Britain bailed or more accurately were rejected. Few of them were willing to piss off to crappy dank rent-a-silos for 4 weeks solid picking. Plenty were willing to travel for 4-6 hours work but that's not how it works.

It was what it said. You were banging on about food shortages, I said there weren't any then and challenged you to let me know when they occurred. So far they haven't. I was right. Strange you quoting a post which proves me right and you wrong though. You're not supposed to do the internet like that!

I see. there are no food shortages, or supply crises, until the shops in the UK are Genuinely Empty. Of all edible items. got it.It was what it said.

Well that's what most normal people would consider "genuinely empty" to mean, but I'll be generous and give you another undeserved chance. Give me shout when the general population starts having the slightest difficulty feeding itself. Lack of petit pois or fois gras doesn't count

You're the idiot who brought up 'genuinely empty' as any sort of a criterion for when there might be a problem worth admittimg is a problem.Well that's what most normal people would consider "genuinely empty" to mean, but I'll be generous and give you another chance. Give me shout when the general population starts having the slightest difficulty feeding itself. Lack of petit pois or fois gras doesn't count
But i do see, Sufficient food to ensure that the population of the UK can feed itself, even if they cant get what they want they still have adequate calories = there are no issues at all here, brexit island is faring well. cool.

Only in response to your silliness about impending food shortages that have never happened. You do agree that there have been no food shortages, right?
bimble

There have not been and are unlikely to be shortages of available calories to sustain the population.
Only shortages of specific items. People will buy what is available. They will not starve. That means everything is going great. yes.

I think I recall we were actually promised by Theresa May's government that there would be "adequate food". This was followed by a clarification that there would be this would apply for the vast majority of the population. So I think Spymaster has a valid point that, unless there is widespread malnutrition among people not in receipt of UC, Brexit will be perfectly on-track.

Yes. That was the reassurance about no deal brexit. Adequate food.

Raab promised us "adequate food supplies".

Specific items like petit pois and Champagne? The thrust of your entire argument was, and has been since, that the UK is entering some grim chapter of shortages and darkness due to Brexit, whereas in reality, pretty much nothing that you and others here foresaw has come to pass so far!

It was probably inevitable that this thread would see some argument about the definition of "food shortages."
I doubt we'll ever see the shelves completely cleared of Pot Noodles, Uncle Ben's Rice etc., but it'd be time to start taking about shortages if there was a persistent lack of fresh fruit and veg.

Oh, give over. Your Guardian fed hysteria over this has been ridiculous. Pointing that out isn't trolling.

That was one of the things from last year that may well end up coming to bite people........giving thems that are in trouble a scotch egg will not mean they have been adequately fed

I am trying to help. You look a bit stupid with the thing of there's no issue until the shops are empty of all edible foods, thats all. If you are having fun do carry on obvs.
I'm not particularly worried myself, I might stock up on the few things I really need (coffee beans, bubble bath, manchego etc) but the idea that this, chat about how to define a food shortage, is normal times in a normal rich country is kind of comical, with you as the joke.
