Fecks sake, was it really worth it?

Gordon Bennet atW! Stop please!

PS Oh, that article doesn't mention Brexit. Are you going to post about sofas/squirrels and put a Brexit heading?

PPS Funny how, given global warming, they are getting low temperatures in Southern Europe. I always thought the film "The Day after Tomorrow" was bollox, now I'm not so sure. maybe the artic will suddenly sweep down and Freeze London under 15 feet of ice.

Wasn't that to do with the Gulf stream moving? If it did it would feck up the UK, Iceland and the Faroe Islands completely.

Its great really before our "Friends" start punishing for leaving we have a reason to start moving towards self sufficiency.

Brought to you by the same man who brought you White House Down & The Patriot hardly a beacon of credibility.

OMG.......if only there were some mechanism by which we could somehow manage to grow our OWN vegetables?

There is, except the farmers won't get any EU subsidies any more and they won't have any cheap foreign labour to pick the veg.

Can you explain how this mechanism of yours will work then?

By making food prices very expensive.

Instead of being subsidised by the EU (largely in the interests of the French Farming Community) to leave land sitting fallow, it will become worth their while to actually plant vegetables.

They could then harvest these and sell them for a profit. The profits could, of course, be used to pay locals to work on the farms.

Free market economics at work.
