“It’s sad because when people are uncertain about their place in the world, they try to find a group that is very radical, that has an authoritarian leader that has a clear norm and clear boundaries,” says Jung. “When people are uncertain about who they are, positivity and negativity are less important – so they’re not necessarily thinking about whether their actions are good or bad.” This is particularly the case around marginalised groups, Jung adds. “Oppressed people see the majority as bad, so the minority must be good.”

UK Food & Drink Federation is concerned about "likely shortages" in the event of a no deal. There is going to be a problem with short shelf-life products and just-in-time deliveries of ingredients to UK manufacturers.

Delays at points of entry a particular threat with 40% of tje UK'S foodimported directly from or through the EU. The seasonal variations mean that there is particular vulnerability around end October.

Widely in media reported last week....I don't know if it was picked up on this thread

I did read somewhere that UK households had already spent 4 billion pounds on stocking up on goods likely to be affected by a crash out Brexit.

The supermarkets begin serious stockpiling for Christmas months ahead, but it is the short shelf-life fresh goods, and ingredients from/through EU for UK food manufacturers that will be threatened.

There may be an opening for SPAM to make a come-back!!

Yum yum - Christmas morning fry-up!!
