Nobody move... or we all starve to death, or something.

From The Guardian:

The government is “sleepwalking” into a post-Brexit future of insecure, unsafe and increasingly expensive food supplies, and has little idea how it will replace decades of EU regulation on the issue, a report by influential academics has said.

The study says ministers and the public have become complacent after decades of consistent food supplies and stable prices for the UK, something greatly helped by the EU.


I've skim read the report, it appears to be page after page of disjointed wibble. If anybody can find anything in there which raises genuine cause for concern, please leave a comment.

I'm genuinely concerned that this drivel gets reported in a national newspaper, even if it was only the Guardian

SM, lots of them rehashed it. City AM referred to it as a "Brexocalyptic warning".

"Brexocalyptic warning".
I actually did laugh out aloud

I agree - disjointed wibble. Says more about academia than food.

SM, it raised a smile.

AKH, exactly.
