English branded meat

Why does every thread have to include Brexit? Could this not just have been about English branded meat?

Have you listened to the news today? There is nothing else.
The continentals are sick to death of the British, and 'British' or 'English' in particular, as a brand, will be a f**king liability for exports, to say the least, well into the future. There's very little loyalty among the English for 'Made in England', so forget it for home consumption too.

Perhaps we'll have to diversify for the Chinese market?

Lucky you. I predict that you, as a country, will have voted for independence within two years. Good luck with your Scexit. You won't need much negotiating skill to outwit the fudgeing morons at Westminster


No chance of that! We are too poor, too reliant on handouts from England for that, UK government is just looking out for us that is why so many objections surely? :rolleyes: and God help anyone who says otherwise:nailbiting: I am off to look for my tin hat! ;)

PATRIOTIC posters dating back to the 1930s which urge shoppers to 'buy British' have emerged for sale in Dorset.
The poster campaign was created to get Brits to stop importing foreign goods in a bid to boost the economy after it took a major hit in the Great Depression.
It was fronted by the then Prince of Wales who made an official announcement in November 1931 stating the nation was buying 'more than it could afford' from abroad and that Brits should 'buy at home'.

The problem you have in England is that the George flag has too many negative associations - football thuggery, EDL etc. That’s a marketing nightmare right there. Sadly, we appear to be going the same here with the ScotNats progressively stealing our Saltire as a symbol for Yes voters.

That’s my perception from a distance of course - I may be well off the mark.
My friend has taken all saltire flags off his machines as its 100% associated with the yes voters, they have stolen the saltire.

Well now that my Italian tractor is laid up with poorly gearbox at less than 4000 hours, my two main tractors are IH4240 made in Doncaster and a DB1494 made in Yorkshire somewhere. Both have already done twice the hours of the Italian machine yet can still work hard.

Onwards and upwards.

Millions of litres of organic are exported annually. A hard brexit could stop that. In fact it will. So all those litres would have to be sold as conventional, clogging up domestic supplies as well as buggering the organic market

Why would a hard Brexit stop all that nations trade all over the world with barrier's in place back yourselves and your product

Are you going to now change your buying habits completely and stop buying German cars and tractors forthwith and start supporting British and local jobs and services? I'm sure you will, because you certainly don't want to show yourself up as a hypocrite.
