The chairman of Tesco says price rises related to Brexit could change what people choose to eat.
Here we go again: " I voted Remain, therefore I am cleverer and wiser than the 17.4 million morons who voted to leave". Arrogance and bigotry.
Maybe the intelligent who can see what the EU is really about?
I am very bright thankyou! I also just happened to be fed up of countless lies told by politicians,starting with a traitor called edward heath,who lied all the time about how we would be tied to europe.cannot trust any of them.
Or maybe the people who have the vision to see beyond the food prices on the 8th January
Who have been educated by the oh so bright liberal elite middle middle classes.
You forgot those who dislike anything foreign, non blue passports and KKK types. And those that think Trump is a rational and sane human being.
Or maybe those who throw insults in the absence of a cogent argument.
Shame all those people griping about Brexit weren’t so lazy and arrogant when it came to voting. Foregone conclusion ?
For your information, there is no such word as gullible in the Oxford English Dictionary.
more Jams now than the middle / upper class .. blind to mass poverty and couldn't careless ... but this is a democracy an what the poor people want they will now get (nothing to lose either).. revenge on all those who turned a blind eye to ravaged UK standards of living from 2008 whilst in the EU .. its no coincidence remain are the better off metro liberals welcoming 600k job seeking migrants.
Sensible, whilst the few remaining Brexit supporters still have their heads in the sand everyone else is preparing for the utter car crash that is about to happen.
The BBC must be impartial - you simply don't like what they are reporting! The ports actually can't cope with demand - they are reporting it - the BBC is making it public ---- what will actually make you listen?

People complaining about scaremongering...
Maybe you should complain about the inept government and management of BREXIT which has led to this situation.
2 weeks to end of transition and still no idea which way it will go.
If YOU voted BREXIT, YOU bear some of the responsibility for this mess.
OWN IT!!

I did and would again . I’m also consistent . I voted against the Common Market in 1973 .
just read about Sir jim RATcliff the billionaire brexiteer taking car production to europe instead of making them in wales. brexiteers have F us up the A with no lube

I'll own it. I'd do the same again.
The fault doesn't just lie with the Government but those who refused to accept the referendum result and delayed processes with court cases. It wasn't the Government who delayed and prevaricated but PARLIAMENT who argued over timelines.
In my opinion (which I'm entitled to) the "mess" has been caused by Remainers who refused to accept they lost!

Imagine thinking the EU is corrupt but live in a country who's government is handing over billions to fake companies run by its own supporters. There needs to be a new word for this level of delusion.

"The referendum was corrupt and illegal and they still accept it."
You must be a Trump supporter! It didn't go my way so I'm claiming it was corrupt and illegal. Imagine the snide comments from the remoaners if it had gone their way and leavers had claimed it was corrupt and illegal!

Reading these comments makes it so jarringly apparent that Brexit supporters are about as intelligent as yoghurt. Who needs facts, food or financial security just as long as those damned Europeans can't come over here, right?? Honestly we've all been conned, and if we still can't recognise that now then we're in real trouble.

We know it, and surely by now all the quitlings know it too. They're just trying to brazen it out because they don't have an ounce of integrity between them. Let them squeal and bleat at the back of queues for the food banks. Let them rummage through wheelie bins to feed their kids.
The best food security we can have is to buy British.
It going to be a one huge sh*t sandwich and were all gonna have to take a bite!
"Your post is what I would describe as sh*t."

I'm sure the redwall knuckle draggers eat a lot of brie whilst the disaster capitalists can afford a 40% rise so all the brexit supporters should be happy.

I voted brexit and to this day do not regret it and won't regret it, also voted Boris for what I see as very good reasons. My kids voted brexit as well with no influence from me before you start.
That's the beauty of living in a democracy which is unfortunate for all you leftie brexit deniers.
Time for you all to accept it, stop moaning and move on.
You've only got another 3 years of this.

So you would actively vote for people to become poorer? - What a desperately sad and uneducated individual you are. Ignorance such as yours was widespread in pre-war Germany - I dare say you hate immigrants and predictably soon enough when the sad realities of Brexit sets in you'll start hating Europe. Propelled by the far-right media you no doubt read - You no better than a fascist. SCUM

What a sad load of twaddle. I'm very likely better educated & qualified than you. Immigrants are necessary for all economies and should be welcomed for what they contribute. Having lived & worked in several European countries (including EU activities), in Africa and in India I have no problems with this. And, I voted Brexit and would do so again tomorrow.
What about Wensleydale, Double Gloucester, Somerset Brie & Shropshire Blue to name a few. This is just an good excuise for the supermarkets to put up prices. So we may have to choose different products is that really such a problem.
The frogs can keep their Brie, champagne, etc. All disgusting anyway. Give me a nice mature cheddar, Gloucestershire or Caerphilly any day of the week. Washed down with a nice pint of Herefordshire Cider!!! BUY BRITISH, should have been pushed more than ever this last year.

All this can easily be avoided if idiot Macron can get it into his thick head that we will be a sovereign nation,no longer bound by EU rules.Perhaps rioting farmers and "fisherpeople" will concentrate his mind.Also when French restaurants run out of fish he will have another lot of angry people to try and placate.That's without the cheese producers losing trade.

Yeah, let's just go back to powdered egg, Camp coffee and rationing as well. Brexshit has got to be the stupidest act of self-harm ever carried out by any advanced nation...... inflicted on the rest of us by 17 million morons who believed the childish lies.

Not only do we make good Brie in this country but other delights.
Salami, air dried ham, cold pressed rapeseed oil (alternative for olive oil), mozzarella to name a few.
Britain also produces more different types of cheese than France.

There are more producers of cheese in the UK than in France (including ones who make Brie). Why anyone would want to buy French cheese is beyond me.
And went to school in a Spitfire.
Actually just walked down the road to school. I was a post war baby, but my brother and sister who were evacuated to the country walked a mile both to and from school.

Christmas cake and apple pie require an English crumbly cheese, I suggest Wensleydale. As grandad used to say when he sat me on his knee. An apple pie without a cheese is like a tit without a squeeze. Grandma slapped his ear for teaching me that.

Proof if any sane person needed it, that this brexit thing is self harm and will cause long term damage to our well being both as a country and as individuals.

How many more times? You are talking rubbish.
Not mine. Already bought a red cover for the sad day when I have to apply for a blue passport. Although, the contract to make them went to a French company! I don't want people to know I reside on this scummy insular little island.
What's wrong with Cheddar,Cheshire, Caerphilly , Stilton, Wensleydale cheeses etc, more difficult to make than soggy cheese. The UK produces plenty of the soft variety so good for our small businesses. It's amazing how negative the remain voters are, no wonder that we voted to leave. Been gone twelve months already, fantastic.

A bit late for this article. I have not bought anything French since 2016.
Every single opportunity they get they try to damage the UK. I simply have had enough.
Used to holiday there at least twice a year, drink their wine, eat their cheese. No more.
I think if the metropolitan elite had a moral compass they would forego their skiing holidays etc until France stops trying to hurt us.

Mirage? There's a reason sovereignty should be protected. I suppose you think what happened in Poland in the 1940's was a mirage too. They also lost their sovereignty, by force. Result? Millions of displace Polish people. Angry Polish people. Countries need to be able to be run by the people who live in them. If you cant understand why then you have learned nothing from history

Everyday I wake up and look at myself in the minor and think to myself “I’m so extremely proud to be English” England is the best! I wouldn’t want to be anything else - we are the best. I could have been born in some backward poor place but no I was born here and that makes me proud! It’s also why I only eat English cheese and because (secretly) it smells like my manhood. Go Brexit! Yay!??????????

Rejoice at that news. Buy British. Brie is also produced in UK. Simples....just buy as much British as you can , buy British wine , buy back edf and all the other utilities and services the EU mafia have taken from us.

so - only white working class boys count for you - I wonder what that is code for?
So your solution to UK's problems is to have those white working class boys out bringing in the cabbages and swedes?
Not likely to make them rich.
There certainly won't be many jobs in industry or finance the way things are going.
And, how are 'new world' wines any less foreign than European wines?
BTW, much of our cheddar is imported from Ireland. Did you check carefully?

Just think, we could have the real cheddar - a fabulous cheese but the Tories said that didn't need protection, they prefer a bad imitation.
Given the choice between good quality they always chose lower quality - and the right wing press slant it standing up for your rights - when it's about making higher profits

Love all the New Democrats on here that have fallen in love with the uk system of democracy. If only they were open to such a principle in all aspects of our lives. Equal pay , free movement of people round the globe , equal rights for everyone regardless of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, beliefs....aye right. Only when it suits you isn’t that right. Democrats ....my backside.

Must admit, I'm not keen on Brie, Camembert etc but that's nothing to do with being a Brexiteer - I simply don't like the taste of them. Nor do I like some British cheeses - Stilton, extra mature cheddar etc.
I'm sure everyone will carry on eating what they want to eat, and good luck to them. Me? I'll stick to my beloved Wensleydale thank you very much!
