He would too.
Maybe non-Trump people should start talking about the Trump Iran war and economic crisis for a start. I’m sure there are others.
According to the Graun, the UK is close to agreeing a deal to simplify exporting food to Europe. It should massively reduce paperwork and costs, Defra is saying.
It would be great for farmers, fishermen and exporters and is said to be worth £5bn a year to the UK. Selfishly, I hope it will mean more UK fish, shellfish and cheese starts arriving in the shops here.
Can’t wait. A few of my fave foodstuffs are available on amazon UK but they’ve banned shipping of the whole Foods category even though most of the ones I like don’t come under any restriction.
There are a number of British foods where France either doesn’t do or insufficiently good result.
Another thing this government has negotiated! Taking the fun away from us smuggling sausages, bacon, cheese etc. 
A practice I’ve never understood.
Last week we had some French friends round for dinner and one lady brought cheeses that she’d bought in Rodez’s Halle de Marché (probably most expensive place to buy cheese in the Aveyron). The quality was superb, a Sainte-Nectaire fermier, a truffled brie (bliss!), a very fine vieille cave Roquefort and an exotic orange block of industrial Cheddar. We made polite noises about the last one and the following day palmed it off on the Dutch members of our walking group.

If peeps are smuggling this sort of thing, I agree with you.
However, the sausages & other fresh foods I import, I know most of the farms & producers, I went to school with most of them or their parents.
I have said before that, unfortunately because I generally support their principles, the LibDems could not organise a pissup in a brewery.
A little bit of history. I was a member for some years and late last year my membership came up for renewal. As I always do things straight away I set the renewal in motion. It was refused because I didn’t have the right password. As I had never had any other password with them I let it lapse. Then they told me I was breaking the rule that a member should not have 2 email addresses. I had 2 because my first was hacked and I therefore invented a new one, and they were informed of this. However, although they started using the new one, they apparently didn’t delete the first, the result of this was that from then on I get multiple messages in duplicate. And I’m not even a member. 
I sometimes read them and sometimes not but this mornings missive, to my current address started thus:
This is one of our long explainer emails.
Please do not forward this email outside the party: being able to share sensitive data like this is important to how we work together.
The man has just broken his rule by sending it outside the party. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s duplicate insisting I keep the secret.
Incidentally, I have not read the long message, so at least one of us is keeping to the rules. 
Sadly this kind of email distribution failure is all too common. More than a decade ago I trained with what is now the Health Security Agency at Porton Down, and after completing the course was sent an email with the full names, email address and contact information of the last hundred or so that had previously been trained, including my brother who IIRC was in Sierra Leone at the time. They followed it with an email explaining their mistake, demanding that I delete the previous email, and with it a further tranche of names and contact details. It was repeated at least once more after this too.
Civil servants, eh?
People, eh?
Nah, a different breed all together
While I might struggle not to bite, I’ve dealt with lots of public and private organisations following the death of my parents and, so far, the public sector interactions have been smooth and painless, the private sector not so much.
Sorry John, that’s not intended to be a dig. Incompetence is a condition we’re all afflicted with at times.
