It Seemed So Commonsensical

Britain's liberation from the Strasbrussels yoke continues to throw up all manner of surprises, and the latest is that exports of farm products to the EU have declined by some forty per cent. According to the president of the National Farmers' Union, among the beastly Euro-wogs "there aren’t empty spaces on the shelves with a label saying 'waiting for British products'," which is typically unhelpful of them. Hence, contrary to all the most patriotic forecasts by the Farage Falange and its fellow travellers, it seems that cutting off our biggest and nearest trading partner has not as yet proved a particularly rapid route to national prosperity. Doubtless the straightforward British pragmatism of a future Farage Falange administration will speedily resolve the paradox.
