Sky News stories about fears of disorder and shortages
Discussion
Part of the no deal contingency plans includes Sky News mysteriously experiencing technical difficulties on the day.
Plus clouds of yellow gas falling from the actual sky and most of the great unwashed sleeping through the following 6 weeks while the TA sort out 'taking back control' with the assistance of the Wombles.
Cops will still be playing with their scameras all over the road network though.
Even the apocalypse wouldn't stop that crucial activity from happening.
Can't wait.

Do baked beans come from the EU? Pretty sure the Heinz factory is in London
It’s all sensationalism to get people worried, all that talk of worst case seniaros but they never cover a standard seniaro where most stuff will still be available and god forbid the rest has to come from the U.K.
Last time I checked my coffee beans come from Kenya and my bananas somewhere in Africa neither of which where In the EU last time I checked.
I do my weekly shop at M&S where I would say 90% of the stuff I get including meat and veg is UK Grown and farmed.
There’s a big wide world producing food outside of the EU,

There won't be shortages - EU countries still have produce to sell. Worst case scenario is raw food imports from eu attract 10% duty, which in many cases won't all be passed on in final product, ie because 2p worth of flour costs 10% more a £1 loaf of bread will be £1.00.02 or in English, £1. If the EU does decide to throw producer countries like Spain and Ireland under the bus in its making a point to Britain then Some things will rise in price until other sources can be found, although denying said already heavily indebted countries a market it is heavily dependant on in itself might spark a severe economic crash in Europe.

My local beer producer is in my own town but a different postcode so I better stock up just in case.
Hops and yeast often come from Europe - and even as it is we ran out of CO2 during the summer.poing said:

k of trying to get televised debates with all party leaders cos it's a st show This thread makes me cross too, but not for the same reasons some of you on here have mentioned.
I actually filmed the part of the report for Sky with the mother who was stockpiling the food. Except that wasn't the point of the bit with her, as the reporter explained.
The mother has a severely disabled child with Cerebral Palsy and actually being with her for a while, it was obvious that she was genuinely terrified that the supply of the specialised medicine on which her daughter relies, could be restricted and not be readily available.
Her daughter is unable to take any other medicine to control her illness except the one she's taking (which comes from the EU) and if anything happens to the supply, the consequences could be extremely serious for her.
In her position, wouldn't you be concerned and want to highlight to anyone else in this situation what could happen (and it was made clear that it's what COULD happen, not what WILL happen.) But she needs to know and try to make contingency plans.
You'd want answers from the politicians who are making the decisions on our behalf, too.
If it makes one other person in a similar position think about this and make plans now, then I think it was a story worth covering.
It's not "the news trying to be the news". It's reporting what's affecting people every day and it was done in a non-sensational way.

Shortages can't happen fast enough, after all Sky report "record number of obese primary school children", it might reverse the trend toward obese children!

That will make a great daily mail headline I actually filmed the part of the report for Sky with the mother who was stockpiling the food. Except that wasn't the point of the bit with her, as the reporter explained.
