We all know they are still playing politics over Brexit, we have the remoaners who would rather see this country sink than accept Brexit, then we have the EU who want to punish us for leaving them. Brexit would be working fine only for the sabotagers, only idiots would think otherwise. So when was Brexit done and dusted (your words) with the promised cheaper food and control of our borders?
The answer is it hasn't been — but you needn't worry about the UK sinking from plentiful cheap food, either home-grown or imported. It will more likely sink from dissent around GB and Northern Ireland while the Tories try to agree among themselves and the DUP a trade and continuity agreement for the whole of the UK with the EU, and the majority of the population struggles with rising costs.
All the current indications are that we're likely to have a Labour-led administration after a general election. Had Miliband, Corbyn or McDonnell been Labour leader, I'd be worried. But at the moment, a Starmer administration could be the shock the Tories need to regain some sanity...
I can't speak for others, but I can assure you I never voted for Brexit because I 'was promised cheaper food'?
In fact I anticipated food would probably rise at the beginning until all the red tape was sorted, what I did not anticipate that the EU would play so dirty, and our own MPs would betray democracy and its people. The EU are going to milk the NI situation as part of their sour grapes campaign, and it's even made some of the sensible remainers turn and now back Brexit, because they've had a eye opener.
I don't recall anyone during the referendum telling us we'd all get cheaper food, I think that's been made up by the remoaners, because they can't let it drop.

As the UK has lower food inflation than the EU an argument could be made that we already have the promised cheaper food... It's certainly true that some UK supermarket bulk buyers have negotiated prices down to the point that they're now last in the line for deliveries when there are shortages. But I'm not aware that food prices are down on what's available in Belgium, France and Germany — the only countries (apart from Norway, which is more expensive) we do supermarket shopping in several times a year.
The fresh food ranges in these countries are noticeably more extensive than what's on offer in UK supermarkets...

Food prices soared when we joined in 73 in the first year or so the increases were about 16%. Food prices should come down eventually if we control our own food production effectively which seems to be the last thing being organised by DEFRA or whatever it is now. The duty of teh government is to represent the electorate and the best interests of the British people. Thatcher was last one that seemed to adopt that attitude. All the latter incumbents all seem to wish to play world statesmen. |

Why do we need tomatoes and other salad food in February? - they use to be seasonal. The stupidity is there's strawberries in our local stores.
I've no objection to imported fruit and veg but, for some varieties, the local produce is just so much better and not needed out of season...
I'm struggling with what type of person wants a salad in February?  |

EXCLUSIVE: Leaving the European Union (EU) will reduce people’s food, wine and clothes bills by up to 20 per cent, said Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg.
The Conservative MP told Express.co.uk Britons’ living standards will soar after Brexit thanks to the removal or reduction of tariffs.
He said the world is now our oyster and we will not have to be restricted by punitive food, wine, clothing and footwear costs.
The quality of food could easily increase as well, he said.
That worked out well...

I've already stated I did NOT vote Brexit because of the promise of cheaper food, and I suspect many others didn't either. |

Do you remember tins of streaky bacon or tinned dried egg? My father said the dried egg was disgusting. In Outer London and later in Cardiff he said he saw lots of people kept bantam hens and in villages beyond all sorts, chickens, ducks … I know what your dad meant but food is food. In addition to the eggs we got from the Orkneys, our neighbour gave us eggs and the occasional broiler hen when the hens got to old as we gave her all our waste food to boil up as chicken feed. Was it today you went for a check-up? |

I'm struggling with what type of person wants a salad in February? True.
As I may have said, I can remember when apples and pears were an autumn treat. And the reason that all you got for Christmas was an orange wrapped in silver paper was that oranges were bloody expensive.
And that still leaves the question, who, apart from rabbits, eats salad away ?

Oh I remember the scaremongers who would have had us running for the hills if the vote was leave, the doom mongers said there would be a instant recession, the pound would flop, so on and so on... it went more smoothly than I thought it would, I was pleasantly surprised. |

Well there you go, I don't even remember about the promise of cheaper food if it was a Brexit result, so it clearly didn't influence my vote to leave. |

Oh dear another idiot who likes ofal fed lifestock curtesy of the EUSSR......But bitches like fuck over cloronated chicken but loves clorinatede Sald thanks once again to the EUSSR.....Oh and BTW enjoy your insect pizza....Bon apetite... Another Brexit bigot who cannot deal with relevant questions on things that are adversely affecting the lives of most people in the UK. And to show the difference between someone who considered the ramifications of Brexit and those who fell for and peddled the empty promises and fairy tales of Boris-Farage and BF-lite Brexiteers — I shall directly address the strange selection of points raised. I like offal — heart, kidneys, liver, tripe — but chicken gizzards are a no-no. We, the pp household, don’t wash chicken prior to cooking, but I don’t see what’s wrong with washing chicken in bulk (or salad veg) with a chlorine solution if it’s going to be transported over long distances. What I do see is wrong is the cost of transporting easily perishable fresh food from 3000+ miles away, when there are supplies on our doorstep. Don’t understand the “clorinatede Sald” reference. I can’t decipher the reference to insect pizza, but I do eat prawns and shrimps which, I’ve been told, are insects. However, I don’t have them on pizza… |
