Project Fear...part 94

[New Judge]

Anybody remember this warning from the Good Doctor Cable:

https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/foreign-affairs/brexit/news/87184/hard-brexit-threatens-strawberry-shortage-wimbledon-vince

“This week Wimbledon is being launched and the people who normally produce the strawberries can’t produce them because the labour force has disappeared because of anxiety about their future status in Britain,” he told Sky News’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday programme.”

Anybody had any trouble getting their strawbs this year? Me neither. In fact in my local Tescos late this afternoon they were flogging them off at half price.

So…anybody recall the Good Doctor, since his anointment as leader of the LibDems, apologising during one of his many public airings, for putting the fear of God into the hapless electorate (half of whom he seems to despise for voting to leave the EU)? Once again, me neither. Just when will these bitter Remainers realise that the more they spout this errant nonsense, the further their credibility (already at a low) sinks?

Deary me your judgeship, things must to be getting desperate at Brexit Towers if the ramblings of a footnote in history re soft fruit are to be put front and centre to reinforce the will of the slim majority. :)

I'm horrified that you shop in Tesco!! x

Fear tactics abound by a lot of people.
How on earth do they know what to do/handle anything when nothing is definite anyway?

[fender62]

never understood the love of tennis, ball wacking back and fourth let alone eating fruit while watching, perhaps originally the owners had a surplus of said fruit, same as formula one, round and round less fruit more exhaust. gymnastics possibly interesting...

[Hopkirk]

David Cameron said if we voted to leave it might lead to war

[tonyav]

With whom, Hopkirk ?.

[Hopkirk]

I don't think he specified. I guess he was thinking of another Balkan flare up.

[tonyav]

Ah right, I just wondered if he was gonna dream up a reason ( Blair style ).

[Hopkirk]

I think Mr Blair made us all more cynical of such warnings.

Vince Cable is my local MP. He isn,t that bad actually. We have had worse.

[Baldric]

Hoppy @ 20:37, . . . . it has, The Brexiteers vs The Remoaniacs!

[cassa333]

Maybe Mr Cable was thinking of next years strawberry crop, or the year after that!

I wonder what plans the crop growers have been putting in place to mitigate the predicted shortfall in cheap foreign labour?

We really must get rid of the old colonial reliance on slave labour.

Plenty of 'Pick Your Own' fields in my neck of the woods.

[Kromovaracun]

We have not left yet.

[Togo]

We are out though :)) Even the pyramid schemers are saying that Article 50 is irreversible. Now screw them, just like they have been screwing us.

[gulliver1]

Wonder how many people on here thought that when the result of the referendum was announced , that we would be out of the E/U the very next day. " We have not left yet " P/s don't think we ever will.

[Hopkirk]

Oh, we will Gulliver.

[Hymie]

I’m more worried that we won’t have enough qualified staff in our hospitals (doctors, nurses, etc), and other skilled staff our economy needs; than about the number of eastern Europeans picking our fruit.

Britain is coming out. (not in the newest version of the phrase) Now all the people who yearn to be yoked can claim political asylum and be granted safe haven in, the EU, soon to be hellhole. Thing is, more people are trying to get in to a vibrant free Britain, than are trying to get out. It has become a big issue even for the Brussels pouts, in so much as they are demanding free access to UK whilst saying you are restricted. Haha they are afraid that we will see what they are up to. No Need, we have seen enough. You must go to where your heart leads you..... that's what you have been using as an excuse to justify the invasion we have endured. So it must apply to the Remoaners ....Yes? Byeee

[andy-hughes]

The simple fact that was in place, is in place, and remains in place is unavoidable -

No-one knows what will happen, everyone is guessing, we will have to wait and see.
