    None of us can predict that

    Sure we can. A prediction is stating what we think will happen, not stating what will happen.

    It will be gradual, and we will suffer a painful decline long before other countries in mainland Europe

    What do you mean by “long”?

      I don’t think we can predict it because no scientist has been able to accurately give a timescale yet. I’ve been a buyer for 10 years and the frequency and scale of crop shortages has grown in that time, so based on that I believe the decline will happen in our lifetimes.

        I don’t think we can predict it

        Ummm…

        I believe the decline will happen in our lifetimes

        …that’s a prediction :-)

        Here’s mine:

        First famine: 2028

        World reaching half 2025 population: 2030/31

        Year brexit becomes irrelevant: 2028

        Again, I’m totally mystified about your focus on brexit.

          Ok, I see the angle you’re coming from but I disagree. I think it will be a slow, drawn out but painful decline.
