It’s disgusting the way those asylum seekers have come here and eaten all our tomatoes

Only down your way. Okay up here. Plenty o' Toms in our shops. (y)

I went to a Tesco superstore before lunch (three bridges, Crawley) and they literally had no Tomatoes at all.

They did have cucumbers and a few peppers though.

It has has screwed over the entire farming industry, but the bigots and xenophobes are still here trying to defend the indefensible when even a high Tory like Hastings can see it as destroying our country
The EU famously hampered the farming industry with its restrictions on what we could grow. Now it is the time not to crawl back to the EU but to set about reforming our farms so we don't have to rely on imports; it is what the government should now be doing.

Max Hastings is right, Farage is our most influential politician. The tories hate Farage because he has actually done something conservative and they haven't.

Here's what it's all about; put down your Daily Mirrors and watch Lee Anderson, a Labour Party defector:

Try your local convenience store - Tesco’s are too tight to pay the going rate.

He's also the most damaging and destructive politician in the UK

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Are you aware that if he hadn't defected he'd probably have been chucked out - because the man is little more than a fascist with no fellow feeling for ordinary working people? But don't you worry, he'll be unemployed after the next election, unlike his home county Tory mates. I somehow feel that in his future life out of Westminister he isn't going to be landi⁹ng a highly paid job in the City or on a board of directors any time soon, is he?

Oh, and I have never really read the Mirror (other than The Perishers and Andy Cap as a youngster). Can't say I know many who do. My old man did (50 years ago), but not me. As it happens there are always a few Daily Mail readers on site in the brew cabin - they're the ones who tend think they are literate and informed. Ha! I find most them are right wing w@nkers with zero knowledge or perception of the outside world - and no empathy for others less fortunate than themselves. At least it means I get prior visual warning of who NOT to talk to about anything not work related :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Our village shop told me this afternoon that they'd run out of turnips (No, I wasn't looking for them, thank you). Plenty of tomatoes, capsicums and some cucumbers, too - just no turnips! :oops:

You just can't make this stuff up
 
if you are a grower or logistics company supplying tomatoes and there is a shortage, would you concentrate on the local, and easy paperwork and logistics routes, or go for the difficult, time consuming and expensive ones !

Very, if your government has created a situation where reams of paperwork are required to export to us (as required by the T&C Agreement), and when it can take 80+ hours to get through customs with your return load. Under those circumstances NOBODY in haulage in the EU wants to deliver here - because of the barriers WE have erected against free trade

I'm sure that this talk of excessive paperwork and lorry queues is a myth. Nowhere in the world of business does anybody refuse a high value sale. Money talks and deals are done.

I posted this a few years ago, it was a letter to the Daily Telegraph from a Devon businessman.

SIR - I run and own two companies, one in the United States and one in Britain. We frequently ship products to and from countries all over the world under World Trade Organisation protocols, and experience no problems. The tariffs vary from zero to about 4 per cent.
We have to answer three questions. What the goods are; what we are charging for them; and what the country of origin is. It takes about two minutes to fill in the form on the internet when we book a shipment. All shipping agents provide this service. There are no delays.
I cannot understand why there is all this talk of chaos if we leave the EU without a deal.
