That doesn’t mention domestic sales.

we’re not exactly living in the utopian society that we were promised
I’ve no idea what promises you’re referring to.
If anything brexit has proven to be as disastrous as everyone who opposed it predicted.
I’ve no idea what predictions you’re referring to.
The brexit voters are utterly unprepared to accept they made a mistake
I don’t see how voting for brexit was a mistake. Again, the UK is out of the EU. Seems successful to me.

I can’t see any mention of domestic sales, could you quote the part you’re referring to?
- Comment on Deal with EU will make food cheaper and add £9bn to UK economy, says No 10 16 hours ago:
also on items we sell to ourselves
You’re claiming that the deal with the EU contains clauses which obligate the UK to use the EU’s rules for food sold domestically in the UK?
- Comment on Deal with EU will make food cheaper and add £9bn to UK economy, says No 10 17 hours ago:
The Brexit faithful will never stop believing and inventing new reasons it failed.
What are you talking about, “failed”? The UK is not a member of the EU anymore.
- Comment on Deal with EU will make food cheaper and add £9bn to UK economy, says No 10 18 hours ago:
By following EU rules on the items we sell.
On items we sell to the EU. Critical omission.

who fucked us all over in the first place
Brexit was money well spent as far as I’m concerned. Fuck the EU.

Oh look! We can make beneficial treaties with the EU without being a member! Yay brexit!

- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 3 days ago:
I think it will be a slow, drawn out but painful decline.
Can I ask what’s made you think that?
- Comment on The NHS gave £330 million contract to Palantir to build an NHS data platform. Well we've found out that most English hospitals aren't using it. 4 days ago:
That’s because the important bit is the “gave £330 million to Palantir” and not the “NHS data platform”. Palantir execs are laughing, NHS managers are paying their mortgages, all is well. Where’s the problem?
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 6 days ago:
I don’t think we can predict it
Ummm…
I believe the decline will happen in our lifetimes
…that’s a prediction :-)
Here’s mine:
First famine: 2028
World reaching half 2025 population: 2031
Year brexit becomes irrelevant: 2028
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 1 week ago:
None of us can predict that
Sure we can. A prediction is stating what we think will happen, not stating what will happen.
It will be gradual, and we will suffer a painful decline long before other countries in mainland Europe
What do you mean by “long”?
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 1 week ago:
it will be gradual rather than instantaneous
Of course it won’t be “instantaneous” but I still can’t see how brexit will have an impact. The people who experience the first famine will be the same ones who experience the death of billions. Brexit will mean nothing.
I’m curious, would you be willing to put some dates to your expectations?
- Year of first famine.
- Year that population reaches half of 2025 population.
- Year that brexit ceases to be relevant to living people.
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 1 week ago:
When we’re facing food shortages around the world, the UK will suffer before others.
Firstly, this doesn’t follow from what preceded it. States in the EU aren’t the only states on the planet that export food.
Secondly, I think I see what you’re trying to say: you think that as the planet slides into famine, the UK will be worse off compared to EU states in particular because during the slide into death, the slope will be ever so slightly steeper than some countries in the EU.
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 1 week ago:
we will be the first to suffer
Uhh… eh? What do you mean?
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 1 week ago:
countries can sell to their neighbours
They can’t sell food they don’t have. How can you still be thinking that climate change is going to be like a temporary blip in food supply? Don’t you understand that we’re all fucked? You really think that Brexit and all the rest of the bureaucratic nonsense people have considered to be important up until now will mean anything when half the population of the planet is starving to death? Don’t you get where we’re headed?

A click bait headline would also be “Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature”.
- Comment on Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature 1 week ago:
Do you understand what “clickbait” means?
- Comment on Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature 1 week ago:
I didn’t say the posting of the title was clickbait, I said the title was click-bait.
- Comment on Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature 1 week ago:
Click-bait title
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 1 week ago:
The UK is known for rain
Had been known for rain. Until recently. When the climate started shitting on the status quo.
will let me know which you are
ROFL
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 1 week ago:
A free trade agreement wouldn’t make any difference, we’re all fucked either way.
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 1 week ago:
Speak for yourself. The climate’s a bit fucked in case you hadn’t noticed. Each year now I wonder: is this the year we face the first famine? (Of the many to come, until most of us are dead?)

- Comment on Why is nobody mad about TGI Fridays taking the lords name in vain? 1 week ago:
Someone who says the lords name would be upset about “the lords name” specifically.
But it’s not “the lord’s name” because it’s not “the lord”, it’s “their lord”. Why would you include yourself as a subject of Christians’ “lord”?
- Comment on Why is nobody mad about TGI Fridays taking the lords name in vain? 2 weeks ago:
It’s a common thing religious people say
Exactly. How come you’re saying it?
