    60% of pork consumed in the UK is imported from mainly Denmark, Germany and The Netherlands.
    Gammons will have to pay extra for British reared gammon
    This is what they knowingly voted for.

      It mentions "home grown beer" - a lot of the beer yeast is imported, as is the wine and champagne yeast.
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Doesn't toast need imported hard wheat?

          There is an obvious source of gammon meat...

            Also the "gallon of milk per person per week" isn't exactly the full fact.
            The UK may produce that much milk ( How much milk is produced in Britain? ), but some gets converted to butter, some to cream, some to cheese.

            1 gallon of milk would make less than 1/4lb of butter. (for those born after WWII, about 5l of Friesian milk is required for 250g of butter)
            Cheese has a better return - around 10% - so 5l of milk for 500g of cheese.

              Mostly old stock though.
              Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

                Wine can be sourced from UK, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, USA, South Africa, etc.

                Apart from that it is spot on.

                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
