There are currently about 100,000 pigs stuck on UK farms, according to the National Pig Association
The National Pig Association said there were 100,000 animals in the UK unable to enter the food chain. The coronavirus pandemic has also hit meat producers' staffing levels, causing "a major problem in the food supply chain", he said. Anna Longthorp, who runs Anna's Happy Trotters, based in Howden, East Yorkshire, said "abattoirs want pigs that are a particular weight"."It means we don't have enough room for them and the pigs are getting bigger and bigger [and] we can't stop them growing."The trade body says Covid has affected staffing levels in meat processing plants and abattoirs
Brexit has set back the UK by at least 60 years
Stop importing pork. EU soon wake up to that
Sadly our SW Norfolk MP Trade Minister Liz Truss along with the rest of this Goverment seems intent on screwing her agricultural-food industry constituents. I just hope the voters remember that at the next election but with a 26,000+ majority it's going to need a big remember.
Good. Maybe let them live.
Well what did they expect ? Getting Brexit done came before dealing tge a pandemic ,before getting the detail right ! We are being governed by third rate politicians
Is that another picture of a Tory donor? snoutinthetrough
Is that a picture of a Brexiter?
Bbc export facing crisis, they can’t flog their bullshit in the U.K. so want to do it abroad.
Why don’t just make silly comments back it up with facts not BBC facts
And then again, we will see ....... it hasnt happened yet has it, It probably wont.
Why don't we just stop mass factory farming altogether and leave the pigs alone
David Cameron started this and now the pigs are fighting back shagger
More pork and more bacon production here then instead of abroad.
Opps, and there’s another Brexit ‘benefit’. Anyone with any positives to mention ?
I mean I love a hog roast and a bacon butty so just sell our own shit here and open up some hog roast vans and we’re good yea
Ahem can we not eat it here save importing pork 👍🏻
*David Cameron has entered the chat*
Good it’s about time this industry was shaken up
Ah, new attack. The paparazzi can’t fault the vaccination program, nobody listening to their scaremongering on the SA variant, so let’s get back to the, could maybe or possible, Remoaners twaddle. They still can’t accept that the ‘cliff edge’ didn’t happen. So sad.
I challenge anyone to find a single mention of the word 'corruption' in any UK news broadcast in any week despite the fact that what we see from the UK government is one example of corruption after another
BorisJohnson 10DowningStreet Brexit - such a wonderful thing! All the misery and problems this has and will continue to cause businesses and people's livelihoods is getting buried by the pandemic.
stop importing pork from the EU and start using home produced foods
“everythings fine” said no ‘industry body’ ever.
Are they going to be happy, British pigs though? perspective BrexitCarnage
Is any industry benefiting from leaving the EU?
Just turbulences Gove is saying
I can't help thinking of 1. cameron 2. farmers voting leave really believed this govt. when they said pigs may fly and 3. pink floyd
Blimey that's a shock..
Good govegan
Why are there not more articles about the tangible benefits of Brexit? Oh
Who cares about pig farmers when we get blue passports? You'll be moaning about the fishermen next
They're making a pigs ear of it.
G olly gosh. You’d think Brexit has had a negative impact on the UK.
Did these farmers vote for Brexit? 🤔🤔🤔 Did they want this........crisis? Signed by a 48% Screwed by the 52%
Just another trade discussion that they ‘forgot’ about. Oopsie. Sorry about that, but you did vote for Brexit so....oh well. This is what brexiteers wanted. Protect our borders? No one though Europe would close their borders to us...
Hands up if you think Brexit is a brilliant idea.
Adopt them out.
Who's going to save their bacon ? 🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷
But in lighter news, this particular pig is having a great time!
Simple answer. Open a beret factory, put the pig in a beret and send it via France. You're welcome.
How are things with the capitol now?
Sell them in the UK. Boom export problem solved
Wow i can't thank you enough for this interest i still can't believe it i invested and got my 100% interest, am surely going to recommend you to everyone markdonaldAmeli

This pig definitely heard David Cameron coming for a visit
Threaten to. Not will or has.
