Flowers get checked better than the people crossing the channel.
-
Perhaps we should produce more of our own stuff.
-
Checking flowers to keep borders secure. The flowers been coming from the last 40 years.
-
Oh, we must stop illegal flowers coming across in small boats.
-
The brexit 'benefits' keep on coming
-
Brexit continuing to show its benefits
-
Brexit 😂😂😂. More more immigrants coming in, food and rent prices skyrocketing. Working longer hours for little pay, victorian diseases on the rise, faeces in drinking water, bad roads, no doctors appointments, crime waves and working poverty. I am currently doing 70 hours a week with no money. 😂😂😂 Life is good.
-
Is the answer 'because Brexit is stupid?"
-
So what im hearing is buy local and help our farmers?
-
Finally a good excuse not to get the wife flowers. Previous excuses didnt go down so well.
-
But… but.. the blue passport! so worth it!
-
If only we could persuade a few grown ups to be in charge and run things….🤷♂️
-
Because it’s all part of the plan. 💁🏼♂️
-
Tearing a flower from its lifeline and handing it to an individual so that they can watch it die has always seemed an odd way to express love. Almost as ridiculous as voting for economic destruction.
-
Brexit benefits?
-
What a load of crap.
-
Easy solution, Just put the flowers, cheese and eggs on rubber boats, it will be easy to get over the border then.
-
Maybe it’s time to get the UK agricultural production back on track … this country of ours should be mainly self sufficient … we have everything we need except the investment from government and private sector … flowers are a prime example … they can be grown just as easily in the UK it just needs the right investment and long term thinking 🤔
-
Simple, dont buy them, prices will miraculously come down.
-
Another brexit bonus! We got our country back guys 🎉🎉🎉
