    It makes us the least appealing country to export food to, when countries can sell to their neighbours more cheaply and quickly due to zero customs fees or procedures.

    So many of my suppliers just stopped exporting to the UK.

      countries can sell to their neighbours

      They can’t sell food they don’t have. How can you still be thinking that climate change is going to be like a temporary blip in food supply? Don’t you understand that we’re all fucked? You really think that Brexit and all the rest of the bureaucratic nonsense people have considered important up until now will mean anything when half the population of the planet has starved to death? Don’t you get where we’re headed?

        It’s already happening, it will be gradual rather than instantaneous, and we will be the first to suffer.
