horsefly 4,318 Posted September 24, 2021 Just listened to a major British turkey farmer on LBC. The industry couldn't get the labour required to ensure production of turkeys so there is a massive reduction in the number of birds being reared in the country for this christmas. Result: brexit means you will more than likely be tucking into a French turkey for your xmas lunch as the supermarkets are being forced to source their supplies abroad. "Buy British" shouts your average brexiteer buffoon, "I would if I could" the remainer rejoinders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
