Brexit :Turkey Farmers Declare 'Christmas Is Ruined' Due to Brexit



Paul Kelley is one of the biggest turkey suppliers in Britain. He says that we are about to face a major shortage of turkeys this Christmas, and places the blame squarely on Brexit.

He's furious because he says that whenever he has given one of countless interviews about the problems in the supply chain, problems with labour or with the CO2 he needs to safely package his product, the media have cut out all the references he's made to Brexit.

Certainly anything that devolves the EU or NATO helps Russia. I wonder if anyone is really keeping score of what Brexit was supposed to deliver and what it has or has not.

Covid. I'd like to think that there will be a reckoning one day with the Tories but the media is in their pocket.

Don’t believe otherwise.

Sure, like MAGAts here in the US, there are resentments galore to stoke, and fools fall for it. But look far enough, and Putin’s minions are stirring the pot and stoking the flames.

internal affairs but have to be careful how they respond to that. Brexit didn't help for sure and Merkel leaving also probably not good timing.
