Lovely comment in The Sun that shortages of fresh fruit and veg from the EU will only affect effete Londoners who should stop eating foreign food. Some Sun readers grew up eating only seasonal veg grown at home; some think we can get 'fresh' fruit and veg more cheaply from non EU countries because the EU 'fraudulently' keeps the price of them high. If this is so, why have the supermarkets not being doing it anyway?
Because we are required to charge the same 'protectionist' import tariffs as the EU for as long as we are members. Whether the supermarkets buy South African apples from South Africa, or via a supplier in the EU, the price will have been inflated by the EU import tariffs.
