Scottish Trawlermen Work The Waters Of The North Atlantic Britons face a sharp increase in the cost of basic staples as a consequence of the sanctions war with Russia, with the price of whitefish set to significantly rise.
Instead of a weekly treat, the quintessentially British dish of fish and chips could now become more of a delicacy as whitefish supply prices — which includes cod and haddock — are predicted to rise by 20-30 per cent as a ramification of the sanctions war Britain is engaged in with Russia.
While the sale of whitefish is not explicitly restricted in the current sanctions imposed on Russia, new banking sanctions and paperwork requirements have disrupted the import of fish from Russia, which makes up roughly 30 per cent Britain’s whitefish market.
Britain’s fish addiction is largely propped up by foreign imports, with an estimated 430,000 metric tonnes of whitefish being imported in 2020 compared to 47,000 tonnes caught domestically, POLITICO reports .
Alongside fish, the United Kingdom’s wheat imports may be affected by the conflict, and Britons are set to see a 20 per cent increase in price per loaf as a consequence of the conflict, as Breitbart previously reported .
This wheat disruption could also impact the cost of one of fish suppers, as flour is one of the key ingredients in the batter for fried fish.
Britain’s chip shop industry was already under strain before Russia invaded Ukraine, with industry experts predicting up to a third of chippies could close due to decreased custom caused by a combination of coronavirus regulations, which decimated profits in 2020-2021, and a 7.5 per cent rise in value-added tax from April .
Alongside wheat and bread, a multitude of other British food items have increased in price, with it being reported that food inflation was around 4.3 per cent […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
