So it's okay Canada gaining its independence but not Britain?
We didn't need you for anything, whatsoever.

You need Europe to eat.

By the way, do you REALLY live in the UK (it's 0215 there, right now) or are you just some sort of weird undead Brexiter looking for some brains?

Not that your inane ramblings and opinions make any difference.

We Brexiteers will keep fighting the Remainers until Britain regains her independence and sovereignty from the EU, even if it means a fourth (at least) civil war. We'll win eventually. And nonsensical ramblings by foreigners like you will play no part in the proceedings.

So you're saying that the EU sells us more food than we sell them.

So, financially, on that matter, the EU needs the UK more than the UK needs the EU.

As for "needing the EU" for food, Britain ranks in the top three countries in the world, above Canada and very EU state bar one, for food security: being able to feed its own citizens.

If you stop shipping food to the EU, they buy it somewhere else.

If you stop receiving food from the EU, it's a fecking humanitarian crisis and we and the Americans are shipping relief supplies to you for the third time in just over a century.

The EU only provides 30% of UK food. By far the most (50%) of British food comes from Britain.

Britain ranks third for food security - higher than Canada and joint with the US.

You saying it'd be a humanitarian crisis is a slight exaggeration. It's bollocks, basically.

Why do I find that last statement to be total, unadulterated, Grade "A" bullshit?

I think it depends on what kind of 'food' you're talking about. A lot of fresh produce does come into the UK via the EU and other countries. Processed stuff does seem to take much of the 50% of food for the UK is made in the UK deal.
