Today a farmer was being interviewed ref. Brexit and told the media bod that if we do leave we can wave goodbye to ........BANANAS. WTF which EU country grows Bananas. He was quick to tell us that we would be unable to buy many foods.....ever. A quick scan of my Tesco delivery today showed that about 50% of foods come from outside the EU,even from Mexico . This was not a conscious action on our part, Chris just worked through her list and clicked, maybe we will see if we can shop from outside the EU So does anybody have an answer to why we wont get Bananas Phil

Because the Germans have submarines and will sink any boats bringing bananas from South America?

If warning that there will be no medicines and no jobs are not changing enough minds then let’s try the killer warning - no bananas. Now enough will vote Lib Dem and Brexit is finished. I bet Cameron wished he had thought of that one 3 years ago.

Maybe said farmer was getting confused. There is a potential banana problem coming but its related to a fungus not politics.

I bet Cameron wished he had thought of that one 3 years ago. It seems to be a certainty that any General Election will not take place until after Brexit has taken place on 31st October. How will the Lib Dems be able to then cancel Article 50 if we have already left?

Huh, you may well be right, afterall they haven't managed to for the last 3 years. Still we will just press on. Phil

Most of the bananas we eat today come from a variety "designed" in Chatsworth and that is the problem apparently its susceptible to this blight! I am growing olives in my canalside garden so the future is us doing what we did in the 2ww

If bananas become unavailable to the UK after Brexit, should I bring some over in my rucksack from Finland? Could make a killing. And sell some bananas at the same time

And sell some bananas at the same time Good idea, please make sure they aren't too bent/ curved. They have a saying in Indonesia: 'big banana=happy life' I've no idea what they mean.
