Denmark is opening a post-Brexit gammon factory in the UK – and satire is officially dead
The long search is finally over. There is, in fact, a Brexit benefit …at least, that’s how Lord Moylan sees it.
Let’s just get this straight –
1. A Danish company is opening a factory selling Danish bacon in the UK, despite it being made more difficult and expensive by Brexit red tape.
2. The livestock that British farmers struggle to sell or process because of Brexit red tape and the Brexit-fuelled labour shortage will continue to be culled and/or lose value.
Brexit jobs, though, eh?
The controversial gammon slang meaning wasn’t the only reason for people to comment on the news – but it certainly helped.

No shortage of gammon in Brexit Britain. 🤔
(BTW, have you noticed that the Express labels as "Brexit Britain" any good business news, even when it's unconnected to Brexit. Meanwhile they almost never mention Brexit-related business damage and failures.)https://t.co/PIXPBXubhQ pic.twitter.com/p875b18krP

Lord Dimwit implies that this is investment is a result of #brexit. If you read the article the company’s CEO makes it clear that #brexit made it more difficult. Be careful when taking his posts for granted. https://t.co/uSvpBl5Fm3

Watch out. It’s not a gammon plant. It’s an ‘am bush!
