He means that the UK is such a big customer for EU, particularly Irish, food exports that come no-deal it will be the EU begging to get back in British good graces. Meanwhile British people will deal with the 40% decrease in food by filling up on the sweet milky goodness of sticking it to Paddy.

We'll still have food, says a senior Leaver: “We won’t be able to get certain foods like bananas or tomatoes but it’s not like we won’t be able to eat. And we’ll be leaving at a time when British produce is beginning to come into season so it’s the best possible time to leave.”

That whole thread is worth a mention, but the short of it is that a growing number of Tory MPs are prepared to see No Deal as a viable option, regardless of whether or not they voted Leave.

Matt DC, Friday, 4 January 2019 16:22 (seven years ago)

But basically, it's OK, we're not all going to die until next winter.

Matt DC, Friday, 4 January 2019 16:23 (seven years ago)

so do we conquer the world with our exports of fine marmalade or do we keep it all locked away to see us through the post-brexit winter?

Replacing bendy bananas with...no bananas at all? Do bananas even come from the EU?

gyac, Friday, 4 January 2019 16:35 (seven years ago)

used to be that there were EU-approved banana exporting nations if i remember my very old Private Eye stories correctly

actually getting quite excited for the orgy of panic that is no deal. the catharsis our nation needs

seriously though I'd take it in exchange for the permanent destruction of the Tory Party

We've string beans, and onions
Cabashes, and scallions,
And all sorts of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned tomato
A Long Island potato
But yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today

If this dumbo doesn't get to play cricket in the summer then its probably because they are starving, but who cares after all only the kent racists will die lol.

obviously i don't really hope for hard brexit armageddon, but i don't think people would necessarily starve. there would be emergency measures, a load of extreme inconvenience, something approximating martial law and maybe even full-scale revolt. wat tyler and john ball were good kent lads after all

idk though, anything from a swift change of government up to children of men seems possible

CoM is about what I anticipate. I think about that film so much w/r/t/ this.

I buy my bog rolls from e-bay in batches of 108 for about £15-18 usually, and about 5 times a year. So doing maths in a household of 3 - we are some hardcore shitters by average Euro-shitterzone standards. But I do have a labrador puppy who predictably gambols about wasting precious resources like in the ad ..grrr!

calzino, Friday, 4 January 2019 23:14 (seven years ago)

these bygone days of using newspaper went right into the late 80's for me. Lol probably why I'm such an obsessive bulk buyer of shitroll.

calzino, Friday, 4 January 2019 23:20 (seven years ago)

Except now nobody gets the newspaper either

We'll all be having a good old laugh at this defeatism come April when once again we ride the high seas unfettered by EU chains trading toilet rolls freely with New Zealand and Australia and our other Empire chums
