kanny 20,628 Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Chat GPT says .... ```The current tomato shortage in the UK is caused by a combination of factors, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global supply chain, unusually cold weather in Spain and other Mediterranean countries where much of the UK's tomatoes are grown, and a lack of seasonal workers due to travel restrictions.``` Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,844 Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Awww we've no tomato's. Ahhh well they are out of season anyway. Stopping British farmers producing food 'for the environment' then importing it. Let's not pretend a labour government would encourage more food production..... which is obviously the only serious answer to food security 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
