    Bisto owner plans Brexit stockpile


    Image copyrightPREMIER FOODSImage captionPremier Foods wants to keep making its wide range of products whatever happens with BrexitPremier Foods has said it intends to stockpile raw materials in the run-up to Brexit as fears grow over gridlock at UK ports.
    The firm, which owns Bisto, Oxo and Mr Kipling, said it was taking steps "in the absence of certainty over the arrangements for the UK's departure from the EU".
    Premier Foods said it expected to spend up to £10m on the preparations.
    It also hopes to sell its Ambrosia custard and creamed rice business.
    It said it was having "discussions with third parties regarding the potential disposal" of the brand, as well as the factory in Devon where the products are made.
    Premier Foods said it had seen lower sales of custard products because of the hot summer and had reduced its promotional investment in the brand.
    The company's shares were up more than 2% in Tuesday morning trading.
    Delays risk

    "The group shortly intends to start a process of building stocks of raw materials to protect the company against the risk of delays at ports," Premier Foods said.
    The firm said this had the potential to cause "an adverse movement of up to £10m in working capital", but it hoped to compensate for that outlay in the next financial year.


    Premier Foods said that "like all businesses", it had spent several months planning on "a range of scenarios subject to the nature of any Brexit deal that is reached".
    "As part of this, Premier Foods have a cross-functional team in place which continues to keep the possible implications to our business under review," it added.
    "This is purely a precautionary measure as Premier Foods, like all companies, ensures it's prepared for any Brexit scenario."
    Boss quits

    Meanwhile, chief executive Gavin Darby has said he will step down at the end of January.
    He said he would be leaving on the sixth anniversary of his joining Premier Foods.
    Mr Darby's announcement of his imminent departure comes almost four months after he survived a bid to oust him at the company's annual meeting.
    Activist hedge fund Oasis Management, the firm's second-largest shareholder, had called for him to resign, a call supported by 41% of shareholders.
    Premier Foods has been under fire over a number of issues, including its failure to lift its share price above the 65p-a-share bid offered by US condiment giant McCormick in 2016.
    However, the firm's first-half results have shown a 14% profit rise.
    Adjusted pre-tax profit was £30.2m, up from £26.4m in the same period a year earlier.


    Aaah Pisto..................................

    Well done Premier Foods, we won't need to eat our pets and children just yet!

    SeekingAss will be pleased

    "The pound surged against the dollar and the euro following the negotiations breakthrough - but analysts warned it could be short-lived, with the cabinet and Parliament yet to agree to the plans."

    The rise in its value is now hovering around the 30 satang mark which perhaps is more indicative of the fragility of the May regime. The thing is, will the big-mouthed lumpen Brexit nutters currently shouting the odds from backrooms in Westminster and the green swards of County Down, follow through with their bombast and bring down May and risk their squalid little lives on another general election?
    Who knows, in terms of honourable politics and common sense, Britain is simply a cultural and moral morass populated by morons led by pigs.

    Love this article on Brexit, very well written.

    https://theovertake.com/~beta/according-to-boyle/

    The idea of a Conservative leadership contest is nonetheless exciting, in the same way that it might be exciting for the passengers of a crashing airliner to see a chimpanzee trying to wrestle the steering column away from a hijacker

    Going to be interesting couple days. Nearly 900 days since Brits voted to leave EU and the current "deal" looks like a convoluted plan to kinda not get out but rather kick the can down the rode for 2 years more. Whole thing has been a major cock up that started when Cameron decided to hold a referendum.

    So what next? Another referendum, break up of May's government and elections, or go with this very flawed deal that simply does nothing.

    The whole aim from the start has been to delay as much as possible until after the next election. From the idiotic situation that Cameron got himself into in the first place right up until now this has been democracy at its most flawed.

    It really is quite astonishing that so many still do not comprehend that there is nothing to be gained by leaving the EU, the EU does not dictate to the UK on how it is governed and that Westminster still governs Britain as it has done since 1653 according to elections held in accordance under a rule of law that has prevailed since fucking Magna Carta. The entire Brexit farrago is nothing more than a creation of the stupid., the ignorant and the deluded led by right wing Tory tuskers and their bastard sycophants.

    Absolute farce, must confess I thought Brit leaders were too smart to commit the country to a deal that has us paying through the nose in order to become a vassal state with no voice or influence. When the mask no longer fools anyone, plan B calls for open betrayal.

    It's odd how you make all these confident predictions about EU socialism seizing power across Europe, civil war in the UK etc., but you missed the inevitability of something staring you in the face like this.

    English fudge.

    In this case the most expensive confection of all time.

    It was always going to end like this. That's precisely why people have been pointing out the idiocy of it for two years!

    Yet the BREXITer chorus has always been that it's just 'sore losers'.

    What a bunch of utter dimwits.

    The Maybot has been on the telly to let everyone know the Cabinet have collectively agreed the draft EU agreement on Brexit.

    Interestingly, she also spoke about three choices: The negotiated agreement, a no deal and no Brexit.

    So will staying in the EU come back into play as the only sensible solution?

    ================================================== ====================

    Hot off the press...the draft agreement.

    Deals done

    The cabinet has backed a draft withdrawal agreement between the UK and the EU, Theresa May has said.
    The prime minister was speaking after what she said was a "long, detailed and impassioned debate" in a five-hour cabinet meeting.
    She said it was a "decisive step" in the progress of Brexit, and would allow the agreement to be finalised.
    The EU's chief negotiator said it was in both sides' interests.

    The cabinet but what about the British parliament? If they approve then there is also the EU parliament who should approve it.
    So a couple of steps remains before "deals done".

    The Jabbering retard is just beginning to realise what we remainers have known all along, Brexit never was, or could be, anything other than a fucking pig's ear only desired by the stupid, the ignorant or the just plain deluded. The alternative to this heap of steaming shit is either a no-deal, in which case it will be catastrophic for the ordinary man for decades, or no Brexit which of cause is the only sensible course to take but that requires brains and judgement, attributes absent in the majority of the British lower end and the xenophobic, racist, morons comprising the loony Tory right wing and Kipper dross.
    Brexit is the Xmas present for the mentally afflicted and that's that.

    All too true, as has been amply demonstrated.

    My last lingering hope is that just abject boredom will be enough for people to vote to remain in the event of a referendum on this pile of shite.

    The odd, or rather sad bit is you being unable to see the EU is a Socialist Project, even though its own leaders refer to it as such; no, not sad, pathetic. Or that precisely because of this it is doomed to end in chaos. As for the EU "seizing power across Europe," absolutely no hope for you whatsoever if you cannot see it already pwns Europe, or that for the most part it is controlled by German wishes, or the irony that having tried twice and failed, that that nation ultimately snatched the continent by peaceful means.

    When the EU Defence Force is installed, do you suppose they will keep this expensive and prestigious force in the background scratching it's backside, or use it to bully weaker nations, and or to put down its own people once they realise they've been betrayed by the world's youngest Empire building machine?

    English fudge.
    More claptrap and nothing to do with English or Brexit, just common sense.

    It was always going to end like this. That's precisely why people have been pointing out the idiocy of it for two years!
    Wrong again. It was not always going to end like this, though hindsight is a wonderful thing and you should be making fortunes backing horses after the weigh-in. It turned out like this because the Brexit side didn't expect to win and had no plan as to what to do if they did win; then we elected a weak and incompetent Remainer to sabotage Brexit, and from there it became a formality, thanks to your incredible foreknowledge.

    What a bunch of utter dimwits.
    I agree, only dimwits could have fcuked it up so badly.

    2nd EU referendum before 01april2019: 11/5

    If 2nd EU referendum, no Brexit: 4/9 (significant)

    May to be PM on 01april2019: 1/2 (eased from 4/11)

    UK to reapply to join the EU by 31dec2026: 5/6 (dumb bet)

    so the EU won, the UK has backed down on all her demands, and will capitulate to a BAD deal where you guys will pay but have no say

    I have to say, Barnier was brilliant, as always

    we got the fookers out politically, that's 90% of a good job right there, and then they pay for it, that's the remaining 10%

    now it needs to be approved by the UK parliament, that could be another fuck up here, and approved by the whole EU parliament, which it will automatically

    No Brexit is the only sensible choice and always has been. It has been spoken at last by the Tories. I can't see any other solution getting through parliament. Even Brexit sets realise it is better than this deal.
