Where do these dog fuckers think tea comes from?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/18/british-tea-jam-and-biscuits-will-be-at-the-heart-of-britains-br/

Or sugar?

Yorkshire Tea, grown somewhere near Skipton I believe.

Fucking Loathsom !

ah yes, yorkshire

Doesn't surprise me...

No Peace cash (done in 2020 but we still are owed a cool 1.8 billion)
No EU developing regions cash
No guarantees AT ALL from Westminster
Lots of trade with themmuns in ROI

That's why NI voted remain, turnout wasn't that great, but quite a few people saw this coming.

And so again I understand why Westminster is hated outside, well... London/South England :/

these vapid tory simpletons genuinely believe we're as dumb as they are if they expect us to buy their bullshit case that they can sort out the shitsunami they've foisted upon us by waving a tiny plastic union flag. that's made in china.

we deserve better than this.

vote tory? cunt.

Can we start lobbying to have real 'Yorkshire Tea' made from the dried leaves from the rhubarb grown in the famous triangle?

Nope. Rhubarb is from Russia. Forrin.

Nettle tea for all.

from Richard Littler:

Article makes me want to pull my teeth out. One obvious question; if there's such a massive market for Great British Bake Off Wares and Mad Cow Beef, why aren't they already selling it as fast as they can make the stuff?

Be interesting to see who rhey says will pick the rasberriws from the farm in order to make jam and sell it.

not facking me mate - that looks like hard work! besides, my GP's laid me off for 6 months because of me back problems, innit.

/calls weed dealer

You'll next be telling me that Yokshu-grown liquorice for Pontefract Cakes is forrin too!

The Beeb at it's simpering, flag waving best.

I may be perceived as of the extremes described previously but during the IndyRef in Scotland the BBC was ever so quietly biased. Not to a degree that would permit oversight or investigation but just consistently and strategically skewed enough to make it very obvious what was going on.

This was of course mirrored by all the main media outlets with the inevitable effect that what you got to read or, more often the case see, down south was a carefully curated gallery of unionist bullshit.

Of course, I'm a ranting, extremist loon so don't take my word for it but the BBC is no more independent than any other mouthpiece of the state and hasn't been anything else for a long time.

Potatoes are furrign too, the UK is done for, I tell you... ;)

Comber isn't forrin!!!!!

^ Cucomber?

Potatoes are originally from South America I'm telling you...they're FORRIN ;)

Comber Taytoes are lovely btw. Worth seeking out.

I know, I used to have a summer job picking them

"The potatoes are prized for their distinctive earthy, nutty flavour and characteristic soft smooth skin. The granting of PGI status means the new season Comber potato joins an elite group of high quality European products, including Parma ham, Champagne wine and Stilton cheese.

Oh, I guess we will lose the PGI status too...

They are still hand harvested? :)

Rhubarb is from Russia

Forced rhubarb isn't.

Abstract: We're doomed!

rhubarb grown in the famous triangle?

According to my 80 year old neighbour (who has lived on the street forever...) the new estate behind me used to be all forced rhubarb huts.
