Oh hang on - isn't that what you already just implied?
Less food and drink in restaurants and pubs to free up transport for post brexit.
Restrictions to prevent mass food riots?

I suppose the Labour party would have stayed in Europe, so not needed the transport freed up, and could have let everyone do as the pleased in the pandemic because there would be no danger of food riots.

Yeah, right!!!!

you are joking. Please tell me this is a woosh!
Fraid not. The "this" refers to lockdowns/tiers not a manufactured virus let loose on purpose. Felixstowe is already rammed with containers trying to get stuff into UK prior to Brexit. Getting empty containers back to Far East is also a logistical image. If the UK governments opened up hospitality big time a. Demand for food/drink would outstrip supply b. CV would spread so quickly as people mingle more that NHS would be overwhelmed and the Nightingale hospitals dont have the staff to make them function. It is in governments' interests to keep demand for optional food purchases in hospitality settings down. Very little about Brexit makes the news as a result.
