I have great faith in the major supermarket chains to find a business opportunity and screw both supplier and consumer alike. I don't see being in or out the EU changing this, but their greed will find a way round any supply issues.
 
We could have left the EU already if Mogg, the ERG and other professed Brexit supporters had not voted against Theresa May's deal - if the ERG & Johnson didn't "respect" the 2016 referendum result, why should anyone else?

Faith is pretty much all we have when it comes to Brexit so it’s fitting that you believe faith rather than supply chains is all that is needed.

This is all starting to sound all a bit late Soviet Union. Let me know when Johnson publishes his little red book - sorry little blue book.

Do people really think we're going to run out of food because we are leaving a trading union?

Did they stop taking cash or something?

I presume logistical fears might play into that. Britain is not a net food producer afaik thus relying on some imports besides that obviously a lot of foodstuff needs to come from country's with a different climate. It's unlikely that there would be a lack of money, but things might go haywire at the border as mentioned before and therefore disrupt the logistical side of getting all the foodstuff across that Britain will desire in time.

Not sure what the upside of this would be but the downside is that when prices start to rise they will be able to co-ordinate the rises.
 
A calculation has been made about the required border personell post Brexit and afaik it's projected that the goverment will (likely significantly?) lack personell because it will take years to actually train the required numbers. I think you all know the Goverment also has all sorts of backupplans in case things go haywire logistical wise like using certain roadsections as parking lots. I presume the fear is that not enough food will get trough to satisfy the demands of Britains, not that it needs to lead to any starvation as likely the poppulation would addapt trough buying the substitute foodstuffs produced in the UK that now would find it more difficult to get out of the country.Like less oranges and more apples for example, but pull that trough for loads of foodstuff. If i was British i'd be particulary concerned though about youre favourite alcoholic beverages, and i kinda contemplate with some shadefreude what the public outcry might be if rather things get too dry, i bet you are going to run out of alcohol much sooner than food. :D

And indeed, once tarrifs are put in place there will be a gradual change required in the economy for what foodstuff gets distributed and exactly where it comes from. One point on tarrifs regarding foodstuffs is that likely the UK will want to stimulate local production where it can take the place of what was previously imported. The owners of gorcery stores in the UK will have their work cut out for them addapting to the changing economy and i guess it won't all go flawlesly.

The boring answer regards the usage of double konsanants in flemmish languaghe and what sounds they correspond to, so that when you speak it out we hear something that in our rightious judgement should really have either double consanants, or its you bloody fault for typicly saying it in a dialectic form that sounds more like "grate prittn". You have all failed the germanic part in you.

Semantics, the last resort, nay the only resort. When Rumpole of the forum deigns to talk down to us plebs, doing his utmost to emulate George Sanders as Shere Khan, the substitution of facts for vain-glorious and pompous hyperbole can be categorised as attention-seeking wumming. Music to the ears of his coterie of "likers" but then, what else do they have to keep their tissue of "fabrications" together? They still do not admit the ref. was a smash-and-grab heist by the brexit media barons with their Blatant lies and hi-jacking of social media, crowned by their racist trolling, which created the victim-hood culture that became the brexit campaign staple. "They called us racists, they called us thick, they called us likl englunders," when in truth the media was responsible for these slogans. The no-deal stampede is running out of steam , as every day brings into the public domain the scale of the disaster at the bottom of the cliff, unless sanity prevails and someone, anyone ffs, pulls the communication cord....

Wait, as many places in detail not the least in the north, the foundation of Britain did not start out with the establishement of some Dutchy by some viking dude? Got to recheck some history.
