British Food Exporters To Asia Have Been Abandoned Post Brexit! 

But Starmer says he will make Brexit work! lol.

@@funkymonk5145Can you not imagine the field day that the Daily Mail, Express, etc, would have if Starmer gave the slightest hint of wanting to join the EU?

@@funkymonk5145yes he will make Brexit work, he will try to salvage what is left of this shitshow, Brexit was for the wealthy by the wealthy to be paid for by the less well off,

Then in 5 years time say they failed to fix the mess they left. Vote Tory…..we break things!

@@funkymonk5145 he has to say so. He knows that there is no quick way back and that he has to play with the deck he got handed down by the Tories - and that includes Brexit

@michaelramsay-fraser "The vast majority were in favour of Brexit and voted for it"? Not sure if 58% is a "...vast majority...", but definitely higher than the overall national vote. The majority of the people in an entire economic sector voted AGAINST their own interests. They essentially voted to commit economic suicide. I do hope that they are enjoying their famous victory!

Exactly

Apparently not! Farmers themselves were voting Leave only slightly above average. But what they are fully responsible for, is their wall-to-wall advertising campaign in every field along every country road. And that was 100% for Leave. I do not feel sorry for them, because they have not, so far, dealt with their part in promoting Brexit. Not accepted that their ubiquitous advertisements were an important instrument in getting people to vote Leave - and similarly, to vote Tory in 2019. Wonder what their posters will say for the forthcoming GE!

Here in the US, we never missed anything made by the British peasants

For a country whose favourite dishes are wurst (which no doubt is a corruption of worst) and pork knuckle I don’t thing Germans can teach the British anything about food. And my family is German not English.

​@@CM73878 Your name is literally Chris, which just isn't a german name and not even something fancy any german would choose to be different, so no your family may be old saxon but not german lmao. Especially since you only know that germans like sausages....like almost all of Europe? I think sausage culture is prevalent Especially among Britain, Germany, Poland and Czechia but that may only even be because I know more about them than other european nations. But pork knuckle.... that's what Americans and seemingly britains think we eat because of all the films portraying "german culture" which seemingly entirely consists of two outdated aspects of literally only bavarian culture. You couldn't even name a type of german sausage🤦🏻‍♂️So sorry mate but you've got as much a connection to germany and our culture as I have to mexicans because I've seen them wear sombreros in movies. So much opinion so little knowledge, I've never seen a british sausage anywhere though so I think you guys can indeed learn something from german sausages, but mostly because why shouldn't you? Everyone can learn if they want to and I doubt our butchers are as narrow minded as you, because good craftsman value their craft above a silly we against them attitude

​@@CM73878 You've got as much a connection to Germany as I got to Mexico Chris. Your family may once have been saxons but you literally know absolut nothing except two solely bavarian heritage film stereotypes about germany lmao. Couldn't even name one sausage but claim that's our fav food? Ever heard about Poland or Czechia who also produce and love them so much one of the most famous sausages is literally named Krakauer . Sadly my first comment was deleted but such delusion and so much opinion with so little knowledge maddens me

There's no point in arguing against utter stupidity. Peopel like that are beyond saving. However, it looks like finally enough of the UK voters have woken up to the damage the Tories have done to the UK, both economically and politically, and will have their say come General Election time.

@@paultaylor7082 "However, it looks like finally enough of the UK voters have woken up to the damage the Tories have done to the UK, both economically and politically, and will have their say come General Election time"? Unfortunately, none of that will do anything to reverse Brixit. The UK had the power to leave the EU. It has NO power as to whether, when or how it might become a member of the EU again.

To me it seems you were surprised?

How many version of UK cheese are there? Not as many as other countries have to offer. At the last count, the French had 250 plus. Also most UK cheese is bland, compared to the offerings from La France, Italy, Greece and other European countries. No wonder the UK imports so much cheese, despite Dizzy Miss Lizzie's valiant 'attempts' to improve the situation, befor becoming our disastrous 49 day PM.

​@@paultaylor7082Erm... there are about 750 varieties of British cheese. We produce way more than France. Cheddar is the most copied cheese on the planet, and to call British cheese bland is so dumfoundedly ignorant on the subject, I cannot even be bothered giving you the vast plethora of examples you are clearly unaware of. If there is actually one thing us Brits are superbly good at, it's cheese.

Oh Really. Is that why you lot stink?​@@obscurazone

@@obscurazone _We produce way more than France_ Varieties, volume, exports? in 2022 the United Kingdom exported $807M in cheese, making it the 13th largest exporter of cheese in the world. France exported $3.76B in cheese, making it the 4th largest exporter.

You have to remember that most Brits knew, or know, damn all about what the EU is, or how it actually functions. They were also saturated, for more than 70 years, with anti-Europe propaganda from the likes of 'The Daily Mail', 'The Daily Express', and 'The Daily Telegraph'. Whatever they thought they knew about the EEC/EC/EU had, and has, no connection with the objective reality.

That's just another side of "sovereignty"...

Those who voted Brexit seem very surprised! 😂

@@johnrussell3961 "Those who voted Brexit seem very surprised!"? Then they can only be described as 'Wilfully ignorant'. The only economist to be seen on the 'Leave' side was Patrick Minford. He was quite upfront about how the Brixit he was supporting would INEVITABLY result in the complete destruction of Britain's farming and fishing sectors, and the partial destruction of its industrial base. They CANNOT claim that they were not told. But then the Brixiteers are always surprised by reality....

thats what the EEC tried in 1974- uk prices UP!- UK produce penalised for french.. remember when "french golden delicious" apples came out? horrible waxball tasteless.. then you couldnt find uk produce in the shops.. just one example

blatant lie!- it is a political integration superstate project. no other "trading area" in the world has.. -a flag. -a anthem -its own currency - its overuling government. -free movement of people. *STOP LYING!!!*

But you have to remember that Brexit was voted for by a minority of UK citizens. Yes, the leave campaign won a marginal vote but the numbers of people who voted leave were outnumbered by those who voted stay or did not vote. If we cast our minds back, you will recall that the British voted in favour of the Maastricht treaty, whereas other European countries, such as France, voted against it. Were the EU a purely economic trading bloc, then no-one would wish to leave. But it was the lack of fairness in the policies, which were intended to appease economic interests such as farmers, and the proposal to increase the centralised role of the European Commission which offended. The rules were not designed for the number of countries now in the EU. Smaller countries, which are fraction of the population of bigger members such as Germany, France and Italy, have undue influence, whether that be in the rotating presidency of the European Council. Majority voting on decisions is unfair unless it is weighed in favour of population size. Why, for example, should a vote by Malta (population 530,000) or Luxembourg (population 650,000) count the same as Germany (population 83,800,000j

@@CM73878 good points… but Europe is not a country… which would justifie your comment on the proportionality of votes if it was. It is an association of countries, and in that regard I agree on the one country one vote, with same weight. It forces each country to make sure we more forward together, and sometimes backward. It is not a prefect system, but it works well enough. To have a proportional vote would be the best gift to people who are against the idea of the EU. Each country with the same weight is the best way to preserve the national identity of each country.

@@CM73878 Implying that the "did not vote" category would have all voted to remain is a massive amount of cope. By their choice to abstain from voting they voted to leave. Anything other than active dissent is silent consent. Then again, your entire post is useless cope. That other countries than the biggest one shave an influence is necessary for such a union to work, or else you just have a tyranny of the majority, which is what I guess the US imagined when it voted for the Maastricht Treaty. There's also your utter lack of historical knowledge of what the EU is. The EU were at no point a purely economic trading block. The European Steel Trade Union preceding the EU was and was founded after WWII to remove all incentives a European nation had for starting WWIII by tying the countries together in trade. This was later expanded into what became the Single Market after that came the Maastricht Treaty. What you say is one thing, what you express in what you say is a desire for a lack of Democracy, which is on par with Britland since it's steeped in Conservative ideology. While some 17 million people voted 'Leave' in practicality that was closer to 20 million and only 16 million voted 'Remain.' Should the cut-off point for who got to have influence in the EU be the population number of the UK? What exactly do you want? Because by the way you express yourself, you sound like you want population rather than the area to be the deciding factor. I find what you leave out even more suspicious than what you say.

@@sebmez923 Equal influence is how you get the countries to work together in such an arrangement. National identity is hugely important in Europe. There have been several wars in Europe based on national identity alone, just look at the history between Denmark and Sweden. Proportional voting in the EU would get along with the national identity as well as a house on fire.

That’s the problem you can’t run the country that England thinks it still is without the empire many conservative politicians were educated to believe it still has, without the city of London and its bent money the Uk is basically a hollowed out shell of what it once was.

With his previous record of forecasting, most people were probably convinced this former Monetarist right wing nutjob of a supposed economist, of 1980s vintage, would be wrong once more. But even a broken clock is right twice a day, and Minford for once agreed with the consensus that Brexit would damage UK exports. And so it did.

The ONE thing he didn't lie about! And they still voted for him and the Tories! 🤣🤣🤣

uk trade is up, and ramping up.. so pls stop lying..

@@jonsimmons4150 Trade is up is it? OBR: ' In the third quarter of 2023, UK trade intensity remained 1.7 per cent below its pre-pandemic level from 2019....Growth in UK goods trade (exports plus imports) has fallen well behind the rest of the G7. At the end of 2023, UK goods trade was around 10 per cent below 2019 levels.'

Ironic isn't it?

Your neighbours are selling to them,ok

There are plenty of non-Muslim Asians too. Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan etc, even Muslim-majority Malaysia and Indonesia have sizeable non-muslim populations. There are also sizeable expat communities living and working in the region. Some of the richest ones in Singapore and Thailand. But British trade to the region will still not matter much, and will never matter as much as trade with Europe.

Well, I'd argue the reputation of the UK electorate hardly inspires much confidence either, having voted twice, in under 50 years, to give us a Tory Government lasting 18 years (1979 to 1997), then one lasting at least 15 years (2019 to 2024/5), giving them effective victory in 8 out of the last 11 General Elections. So exactly who is to blame for this. 'But Jeremy Corbyn' time again, when for 6 out of the last 8 Labour defeats he wasn't even LOTO?

Howzabout pork markets in Israel or Muslim countries? Not such a good idea? Why, exactly?

You simply have to feel stronger!

@supernoodles91 "What ARE they thinking??" About themselves, and their mates. But mainly about themselves.....

Yes of course. This is why the TCA is full of level playing field demands and instructions, even sanctions to avoid the EU single market ever being undercut by UK. The reality is indeed that UK changed from 'one of us' to 'one competing against us', as seen by the EU. And the EU is bigger and better equipped at handling competitors. The EU can negotiate better trade deals, bigger quotas and more favourable conditions, simply because it is more important than a solo medium sized country. With a not very engaged tory government that still believes in libertarian free marketeering capitalist principles to boot. No state interference (ie help) at all, leave it all to the market.

uk isnt "OUT" we just moved the goalposts to suit au better after being shafted for 42 years.. understandable really..

Not really, I can think of quite some quality products the UK USED to make...

Maybe an opportunity to open an after market for old UK food? Promote the short shelflife and second hand nature of the food?

​@@sideduck6501excellent idea. Quaint English Antique Comestibles. Get 'em while they're "hot"!

Sadly part of this is due to the general habit of overstating all things British, as world leading, world beating, showing others how it's done etc. These sentiments annoyingly are not entirely shared abroad, it seems. Before I first came to Britain in my late teens, I already 'knew' that most others consider British food to be bland and stodgy. There is a mountain to climb to sell quality British food abroad, although it is actually much better than its reputation.

but it always takes much longer for the EU von de leyen said "its like a huge petrol tanker turning"
