Brexit supporter tells BBC ‘it will do the country good to go without food’
In the next episode of ‘Brexit: the shit show’, a bunch of big supermarket chains sent an open letter to MPs yesterday warning that a ‘no deal’ Brexit could lead to a massive food shortage in the UK, which is pretty bloody terrifying. Most people with more than two brain cells are understandably worried about this information, but others are dismissing the claims as scaremongering. BBC Newsnight took to the streets to ask the public what they thought on the matter and this Brexit cheerleader came up with the most ridiculous argument of all time. Take a look:
Welcome to Brexit! Today the supermarkets and restaurants announced there won’t be food from the continent in a no deal scenario.

This dude right here goes from “it’s scaremongering” to starvation will “do the country good” in seven seconds.
How does one parse these two things? pic.twitter.com/r4ef5fE83w
Err, so tell me why it’ll do the country good to go without food for a while?! So we can all start looting and slip back into the primitive ways of our ancestors?! Maybe we can start eating the weak and feeble.
