A British-Italian store had the best takedown of this response to their Brexit woes

Seeds of Italy supplies seeds, ingredients, gifts and more – all with an Italian flavour – and a glance at their website shows that they’re already suffering from the impact of Brexit.

It’s a story we’ve seen over and over, hitting smaller businesses particularly hard, with no solution yet in sight.

They recently reported another Brexit-related problem.

Due to brexit, all our suppliers have run out of both cream and traditional panettone, this along with other goods. We have left what we have left.

We are unable to apologize as we voted remain 🇪🇺https://t.co/LFweMZOQFX pic.twitter.com/9LEF6H2iUv

Well done you for saying the truth about the way Brexit is impacting on goods from abroad. Makes a change from seeing 'temporarily out of stock' which means in reality its not really coming back. Grazie.

For others, it hit differently. Like this guy –

Paolo had the answer.

Is Aldi a small business? No, but they are German. You are a real patriot. 🤣

This person’s hot take fared just as badly.

We love traditional Christmas cake. We sell that too. Shortages of ingredients mate means we've run put of it too. Where do you think raisins come from? Chester?

The takedown was so good, it found its way to Reddit’s r/MurderedByWords.

Redditors were impressed.

Dude literally said “let them eat cake”.

One thing Brexit hasn’t caused a shortage of is melons.

A Redditor named u/faultlessdark had this observation.

Shitload of gammon about too.

Funnily enough –

We're a small business employing locals, not a corporate supermarket

We do not sell gammon. X
