    What did he mean?
    Buy the product directly for the country of origin not via the European Trading block , believe it or not they grow and make things all over the world not just in Europe , in fact some Commonwealth countries have suffered form this since we joined the European trading block.

    I am struggling to understand this, so whilst you are in the EU you can only buy things from other countries within the EU?

    I think he means the EU buys things for the UK and we then get them from the 'secondary European supply market'.

    But who knows? Certainly not LOM. Maybe he can explain his understanding of imports and exports by further reference to Jeremy Corbyn? It certainly explained a lot last time he tried it - but not in the way intended.

    It sounds like he is confusing the EU with Tesco.

    So using your Avocado example Herbert, the four countries that the UK sources the vast majority of that fruit from whilst it was in the EU were Peru, South Africa, Chile and Israel. Which four countries do you think it will souce avocados from in the future now that it has taken back control and no longer has to rely upon the secondary European supply market.
