Well, we've already started with the risk of fresh food shortages lasting only a few months...

Well as someone pointed out the vast majority don't come from the EU, so stricter EU borders won't solve the tide of Avocados filling our overcrowded supermarkets. Easy target though.Stevo_666 said:

Immigration could have been controlled in the EU and we chose not to, we now have more control but chose not to exercise that and net immigration remains unchanged.john80 said:
There is little point as the last 1500 pages have shown. We could control immigration but some people think that is a bad idea. We could support strategic industries over decades which some will argue is a waste of time. We could amend the human rights act to give more balance but some wont like that. All of the above are upsides for some but not for others. Someone will be along in a minute to point out they have lost some cash so it was always a terrible idea and there literally coild be no upside ever.surrey_commuter said:john80 said:

Pretty sure we could support strategic industries in the EU.
I am no lawyer but thought human rights was nothing to do with EU.
Bizarrely most people on here do not fit the demographic of people who will lose most from Brexit.0 -

Our current government will only sack people outside the party.Stevo_666 said:
We all know that the EU doesn't sack anyone for doing a bad job, as I've said on here before.tailwindhome said:
When Stevo reposts the Telegraph and/or Coopster reposts the Express, claiming Barnier has been sacked you know we're nearly there
I’m not sure that’s better.

It's a bad idea, it's happened, there's going to need to be border infrastructure and systems by the end of the year whether there is a trade deal or not. If there isn't, there's going to be delays. Just the way it is given the decisions already taken.0 -

Err read back a tad. It was John and David saying that shortages were a good thing, more seasonal fruit and veg would be great, and avocados are bad anyway so preventing "hipsters" from eating them was a win.Stevo_666 said:

I was not saying they were a good thing but rather some perspective is needed. Any border in times of difficulty such as french fisherman blocking ports in the event of a no deal will need to decide what gets on the next ferry. It might just not be your strawberries in January grown in a greenhouse in Spain. I wont lose sleeo over this.pangolin said:

Point I am making above is that its a weak argument.
He and his company know there is going to be an issue but they are not going to do anything to mitigate it? No serious company will do that.
