Lap it up Brexiteers, the UK imports 60% of its food. Get used to the price rises and smaller portions!

You'll be alright though as your portions of bitterness will fill you up.

The Toblerone thing, just sounds like bullshit viral marketing to me.

When people say stuff like this it makes me want to put them on a forced lifetime diet of turnip soup with no salt and pepper.

It's just Kraft being Kraft, the same Kraft that reneged on it's promises to the government on the Cadbury's factory in Bristol, the same that changed the recipe, the same Kraft that made Terry's chocolate oranges smaller and the same Kraft that ruined the Creme Egg.  They've been doing it for years, nothing to do with Brexit.

They basically just want to take over everything or get a patent on it, hold 100% market share and sue any fucker who attempts to cross them legally with international trade agreements in much the same vein as Monosanto treats other similar third world countries.  You can't even take Cadbury chocolate into American now, it's contraband.

I'd rather live on turnip soup with no pepper for a lifetime.

Project fear is alive and well .. bought a nice pack of cod in my local Lidl today for £2 .. bargain. I don't see real food prices rising .. but then you'll swallow any old bollocks as long as it's Brexit related.

We could always grow more food and support our farming industry, but in your world money is better spent calling Brexiteers racists and blaming them for the world's problems. No doubt you want to support the EU with the CAP that distorts food prices and discriminates against growers in the third world. How do you square that away with you love for the EU ...

Toblerone? More like Tobler-gone.

@Bucket I think Kraft claim to be reacting to the Brexit vote fuelled drop in the value of the pound ... MPs from all parties think otherwise and are trying again to get Kraft's CEO to face parliament. The company is a disgrace.

I was quote worried about this because I'd ordered a giant Toblerone in the weekly shop.

I am happy to report that the 360g version has not changed. Or I got NOS.

Brexit or no Brexit, the world economy is rebalancing as it always does. The poor are getting relatively wealthier, and us in the richest nations are going feel the squeeze. Staying in the EU isn't going to fix that, especially given the lethargic growth in the EU over the past few decades. We need to be trying to be more competitive, not adopting the EU approach of being less competitive.
