You're just sad and pathetic.
And how does that differ from the endless hypocrisy of the right?
Everyone is a hypocrite, it's a natural human trait not confined to a political persuasion.
Love you too!

It's a particular trait of the left that knows no bounds but at least you dont disagree.
It's a meaningless epithet you throw out, which just further highlights your lack of (self)awareness of your own endless hypocrisy and/or ignorance that you somehow think it's defined by a political leaning.
Getting mad at the lack of tomato and cucumber.
Eh, come on. The "Left" are just as bad for this if not worse. Personally I think you're all a bunch of *****.
Apathy reigns supreme.
Anyways, a turnip suggests we eat more turnips. Righto.

Or you recognise it as another minor inconvenience attributable to the same political failures and call it out as such. All of Europe seems to experience the same issues but they seem to effect us much more. Funny that.
I was just trying to remember the last time I ate turnip and it struck me it was for my birthday a couple of years ago at the two Michelin star Dinner by Heston at the Mandarin Oriental.
One of the courses was Duck & Turnip - Buttered black turnip, creamed turnip with truffle and duck breast with a red wine jus.
Absolutely stunning, maybe that's what Coffey was meaning?

I can almost guarantee it.
I salute your brave honesty. Most subscribers to her OnlyFans channel wouldn't dare be so open about it.

I like your thinking... but then again the word revolution is like a soothing voice to me!

Can anyone remember the last time there was rationing on veg (outside of wars/pandemics/etc)?
Saying that, the shelves in my local aren't anywhere near as bad as what's being made out in images going around although not quite packed to the brim like the photos colleagues and friends in the EU are forwarding me

No but arguably we've become accustomed to seasonal foods being (mostly) a thing of the past over the last few decades and the disruption is obviously a bit too much inconvenience for some.
There have been the odd instances where stores have implimented limits, but usually only one or two stores for one or two items that have been specifically popular at the time.
IE for a while I believe Aldi used to limit how many tins of beans you could buy back in the 90's, at least around my way as it turned out they were cheaper than the wholesaler so they would get the takeaways come in and buy trollies full*, other than that it's been things like a specific crop item or offers that might limit you to say 6 or 12 at a time, or limited edition stuff where you might get 1 per person/house.
It's certainly not been normal for multiple chains to do it at the same time since something like the 50's or 60's for stuff as basic as common fruit and veg.
*I remember going in several times when our local one opened up to take advantage of their weekly offers (got an air compressor, various tools and a good spec PC back in about 95
), and was behind guys with literal trollies full of trays of beans, IIRC at the time their beans were about 10p a tin and nearly as good as Heinz for a while.

And if I saw haggis and turnip on a menu I’d toss my table. Neep is swede, not turnip.
Neep is Swedish turnip. Yellower flesh and larger but the same vegetable.
