" At the most critical period in living memory, for six weeks there may be no government, no functioning civil service, no crisis management, no emergency measures - just an election Is Britain being run by stupid people or wicked people? I really cannot make up mind. Generally, in my experience, good ideas don't cost billions in risk mitigation, involve the suspension of parliament and the stockpiling of food. Absolute fucking lunacy. " It's a combination of stupid and evil. The more racist element led by Farage, funded by the Americans are stupid.

"Tim Rycroft, corporate affairs director at the Food and Drink Federation, said: "The deadline is pretty much the worst date because it's peak Christmas pre-season, and warehouses are full. "We think there will be some serious disruption and it will go on for weeks or months. "Fresh food is obviously the tip of the iceberg but we expect that there will be shortages on a whole range of things."" Correct me if I'm wrong but I think he also said "Michael Gove knows politics but I know food distribution." He had just been talking about how any delay, never mind a long one, in the food distribution chain would become noticeable very quickly. Good news for B&Q and the like, though. We'll all be digging for victory next spring. | |||

"The UK is self sufficient in milk, and actually exports surplus. " There will be plenty of milk from northern Ireland too. At least the NI diary farmers will not have to cull their diary herds (according to the BBC!) | |||

"The UK is self sufficient in milk, and actually exports surplus. " Come on. Think. Just a little bit, and you'll get there..... Okay I'll help. If dairy farmers aren't able to export anymore. Some will........? Go out of business, which could result in dairy shortages. Until the trade deal with the US is done and they start importing cheaply produced milk packed with growth hormones that are currently illegal in the EU. Which will then.......? Squeeze British dairy farmers even harder. | |||

Squeeze British dairy farmers even harder." I think the implication is if farmers struggle to export, then we'd struggle to import. So those exporters mow serve the gap in the domestic market. It seems the relative size of the import export market in raw milk is tiny compared to the domestic market, so seems like a fairly immune industry. Interesting it seems to be one the bookiesvare taking money on. Public perception versus reality... | |||

"Which is why I prefer to listen to people from the industry rather than a bookmakers. The UK normally holds enough food to feed itself for 10 days. The perishable come and go on a just-in-time basis. No-one knows for sure how much interruption there will be to the supply chain as a result of all this red tape you voted for. No-one knows for sure how much prices will rise by as a result of the red tape you voted for. No-one knows for sure how much panic buying there will be as a result of the red tape you voted for. But the people with the most informed assessment of the likely impact are those in the industry. They are the ones earning of shortages and interruptions to supply, as a result of all the red tape you voted for." For someone who doesn't listen to bookmakers you sure made a big headline of it.  | |||

" Paddy Power are always offering gimmick bets. It gets them headlines... I wonder how much they are actually taking. But given the bet covers rationing coming in 2019, eg in the first two months only, I'd say the odds are stingy for something they'd see as never going to happen. Especially when no deal is a million to one  | |||

" No one here is hysterical. We're just discussing and poking fun. Also "remainers" aren't one group. We're all different people. And why shouldn't we consider these things, such as food shortages. Thus far Brexit is going exactly as we were told it would before the referendum. So there have been relatively few surprises. The risk of food, medicine and fuel shortages is real. Just like the pound nose diving, businesses closing or leaving, billions of pounds being waste etc. If you like to call reality "project fear" and like to refer to people who like to discuss what's going on in the world around them hysterical, then of course, for now, you're free to do so. But it doesn't reflect well on you. | |||

"12/1 sounds like a rank outsider to me. Would probably unseat its rider or get tailed off. Methinks that no rationing would be 12/1 ON. "Exactly you would but i cant find anyone of them who would even give you 12/1 on. | |||

Feel free to start a thread about bookies. This one is about the food and drink industry saying they do not share the confidence of Government that supplies will be unaffected. You know, because of all that red tape and bureaucracy you voted to impose on their industry. | |||

Squeeze British dairy farmers even harder." I didn't mention dairy products, just milk. I can find no analysis or assessment to say there would be milk rationing after a no deal Brexit anywhere. All supermarkets are tied in long term with their UK milk suppliers, and none of these have expressed any concern to having to ration milk. Dairy products are a different matter. Should a no deal Brexit occur, and agreements cannot be reached on tariffs and standards, then some milk exporters may suffer. The Northern Irish milk producers have highlighted this, as they stand to lose the most. No one has mentioned importing milk from the USA. It doesn't comply with current EU standards, and is a non starter. | |||

"The Food and Drink Federation warned UK Government in late 2018 that rural areas without a chain supermarket were likely to be worst affected. They asked Government to relax competition regs that prevent collaboration on supplies, so that stocks bound for, say, Aldi could be shared with independent shops in villages. They are still waiting for a response. The good news is that urban areas, which voted to remain, are least likely to be affected, and rural areas, which voted leave, are likely to be worst affected. Every cloud has a silver lining, I guess." I guess whatever bad happens if we no deal Brexit then that's exactly what leavers voted for, I just feel sorry for remainers if they get affected. | |||

"Is Britain being run by stupid people or wicked people? I really cannot make up mind." Let me help you with this question: In 9 years they have deliberately made Britain a 'toxic environment' for those they deem unworthy where ideological austerity (for the many) has been used to cut national and local government budgets by around 30% in the false name of balancing the books, while our government has doubled the national debt to fund tax cuts for the richest individuals and corporations. But, hey, don't listen to me, I'm a Corbyn supporting lefty, so anything I say can be dismissed as commie propaganda... | |||

There has been plenty of talk of food produce being included in the US trade deals post Brexit. And very soon we will be out of the UK and the EU will be able to remove the EU food safety standards. This is one of the core purposes of Brexit. And one of the main reasons the US pumped so much cash into the leave campaign and why Trump is wading in heavily. Chair and Board of the Food Standards Agency has confirmed that food safety standards will not be reduced after the UK leaves the EU. So you're suggesting that either the US is prepared to compromise or make concessions on the trade deals, or that we will be so desperate, that we will compromise on food safety standards? I’m not actually suggesting anything. You said “And very soon we will be out of the EU and the Uk will be able to remove the EU food safety standards.” I replied by confirming the FSA have confirmed food standards will not be changed after we leave the EU. Okay then I am saying that will not be accepted by the US. And either we will have no trade deal. Or we will have to change the food safety standards. I don't really understand why this is a discussion point. This is one of the core purposes of Brexit. It's been one of the main driving forces behind the whole thing.

"Yes, I read today how, in the event of a no confidence vote in September, Johnson (or his sidekick Cummings) will put off an election until . . . October 31 or November 1. Imagine that! The country facing its biggest crisis in living memory, the civil service in lockdown for six weeks and the Ministers all out in the country kissing babies. Is there no limit to the lunacy? " .

I really cannot make up mind. Generally, in my experience, good ideas don't cost billions in risk mitigation, involve the suspension of parliament and the stockpiling of food. Absolute fucking lunacy. " What happens to the Government when Parliament is dissolved? Parliament and Government are two separate institutions. The Government does NOT resign when Parliament is dissolved. Government ministers remain in charge of their departments. The role of minister is independent of the role of MP. Ministers keep their ministerial titles after dissolution, but MPs can no longer use MP in their name. The Cabinet Manual sets out the main laws, rules and conventions affecting the conduct and operation of government. In the period immediately before an election or referendum there are restrictions on the use of public resources and activities of civil servants. This pre-election period is also known as the ‘period of sensitivity’ and has often been referred to as ‘purdah’. During a general election Ministers remain in office and in charge of their departments but it is customary for them to observe discretion in announcing initiatives that are new or of a long-term character in their capacity as a minister. It does not prevent ministers from campaigning on their party manifesto in their role as politicians seeking election. The general principle for ministers, as outlined in the Ministerial Code of Conduct, is that departmental resources and facilities are provided at Government expense to enable them to carry out their official duties. These facilities should not generally be used for party or constituency activities. The pre-election period before general elections is NOT regulated by STATUTE , but governed by conventions based largely on the Civil Service Code. The Cabinet Office issues guidance for civil servants in UK government departments, and the staff and members of non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) and other arm’s length bodies (ALBs) on their role and conduct during election and referendum campaigns. | |||

The idea is laughable. ."I agree food rationing is unlikely. Any Food will, apart from the first few weeks or months of chaos at the ports, be able freely to come to the uk. Rationing won't be needed as the market will control supply, with the probability that some or all food will become more expensive due to tariffs and addition importing costs, this will control demand. Also if things got really bad then the government would drop its food and hygiene standards to allow import of cheaper food with lower standards to be imported. | |||

What I am saying is that removing the food safety standards, food labelling laws is one of the objectives of Brexit. It is required to enable a trade deal with America. Which is why so much money came to the leave campaign from the US. EU "red tape" that the Tories are desperate to remove is largely there for good reasons. | |||

"I didn't explain myself well. Will a chicken sandwich, KFC, etc have to disclose there is (or may be) chlorinated chicken in their food? If not, the only way one.

I especially enjoy it's random nature. The third of three in a row where you seem quite angry, but not really sure why, or who you're angry at. I also enjoy how you associate people who are concerned about food safety standards as "leftist crazies". I like the rambling section about drugs, but it's not clear who you're referring to.

"Uk food standards are not changing I love how you're hanging on to this. Yes - It’s what has been stated by the FSA. That's what I mean. Love how you believe this. Why would they say different? Because it's their job to enforce current food safety standards. But really, let's be honest. What is the point of Brexit if it's not to do things like remove food safety standards? There is a big picture here. " O shit so the real reason for brexit and all this uproar over the last few years and the millions spent was so the food safety standard can be removed Riiiiight now I get it | |||
