You do it to yourself. You do. And that's what really hurts.

Not sure if it's incompetence or short-sightedness but I read/heard the parliament opened up more imported food, which turned out more sour than before for UK farmers. The article also mentions something like it. The Prime Minister is connected to banks, wouldn't be surprised if he's but a goon. Corruption?

Food is too cheap than what it should be. While we pretend it's expensive now, imagine if the food industry wasn't built on ass pay, horrible working conditions, cheap migrant labour, etc.

I feel so sorry for whoever voted Bremain or wasn't old enough to vote then.
As for the rest - a large majority who voted for Brexit or neglected to vote - fuck you, your deadweight lazy ignorance brought this not only on yourself but also on everyone around you.

It wasn't the EU's fault you guys decided to farm leopards.

Anyone who's been to the supermarket lately knows that the days of cheap food ended some years ago.

I'm now totally convinced that politicians who lie with such dire effects on society should be severely punished.

UK, you can join America is rising food prices.

But our food prices are because of greed. Wait until y'all get double dipped, where UK food companies blame EU taxes AND become greedy so now it's 3x as much.

Oh the UK is dealing with record inflation too.

And empty shelves too.

But at least Nigel Fridge got some attention.
