You've been looking in the wrong direction, the dangers are coming from the right.

And, from the twitter thread posted here yesterday, the UK had a new wonderful post-Brexit treaty with Morocco to ensure a produce supply. Said treaty included a new UK specific ferry service to Morocco to avoid transiting through those pesky EU countries.

Fast forward: no ferry line emerged, and Morocco's not treating the UK any different than the rest of the EU. So, yet again, the UK government's preparation for Brexit ended up as a lie told to the press. And rationing. They really love their WWII nostalgia in the UK.

Do you have anything to say about the other two photos? Or will you just keep harping on about the market one and hope nobody notices?

Can you explain how the shelves in those two French supermarkets are clearly not empty, not even approaching empty, and yet the UK shelves are?

"What do you think about the RTE news report from empty wholesale warehouses in Ireland? Do you have anything to say"

Sure. At the end the lecturer said it's likely to last a few weeks. In the meanwhile, prices have gone up. Matches my experience at my local greengrocer this morning, pepper prices had jumped.

No rationing. No expectation of long term disruption. With warming weather production should increase and prices drop and no one will notice. As it turns out, we don't have a big need for peppers over the next couple weeks, so we can wait. Plus we can always increase the amount of Irish-sourced veg like Kale and Cabbage to make up for it.

What do you think will happen in the meanwhile in the UK? With the lie of their treaty with Morocco, UK will be the rump-end of shipments of produce from the EU. When do you think rationing at Asda will be over? And, any comments on the right-wing inspired lie of the treaty with Morocco? Where's the ferry service? It'd be handy once more Moroccan producers have product.

Again, crop failures in the global warming world will be more frequent. Will the UK be better poised? You nattered on about UK becoming more self-sufficient. So, no more tomatoes during the winter? Or locally grown in greenhouses for crazy prices? Be sure your Brexit leaders won't notice the price increase though, they'll probably fly tomatoes in for Rees Moggie's sandwiches.

Global warming is a 'natural' process insofar as what happens when you dump a huge amount of CO2 and other gases into the atmosphere in a compressed period time. The right-wing threat is the active work to delay/defuse/deny/deflect any attempt to mitigate the problems that result and do something about the causes. Unfortunately, due to feedback cycles, humanity's likely at the 'rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic' phase of global warming.

Father lives in Tours, Loire valley, I can assure you that the famed Les Halles market is not suffering any shortages whatsoever

Why isn't 'rationing' happening in Ireland? But it is in England? Why are English buyers, 'panic buying' so much so that the marketers have to restrict sales? Why can't the UK just handle this small, predictable problem - a bad harvest due to bad weather (due to global warming, which is exacerbated by the right-wing worldwide.)

Is there rationing happening in Ireland?

And, you agree then, the EU countries, with more economic heft, can buy in your example, 1000 units while the UK at best is around 200? So, the EU is the priority for Morocco?

And that relatively small amount of UK, 200 units now must travel through the EU countries (not on the fake right-wing ferry HMG lied about), so it takes longer plus the UK importers have all their Brexit red tape to deal with, as would the Moroccan exporters who, as the thread posted several times about this, clearly points out that the right-wing driven Brexit has caused this problem to be *specifically, noticeably and dramatically worse* in the UK?

But, do tell. Is any of this due to anything other than the right-wing? That is the subject of the thread. Brexit was the UK's grand right-wing adventure and is destroying the foundations of that once proud country as we look on from here, enjoying our fruit and veg.
