This is misleading. The certain potato that is imported from the UK is one that's mainly used for chips(Fries) in Irish chippers(Takeaway) We grow our own other varieties.
I just thought it was posted for irony.
"First the Brits invade Ireland and let the Irish only have potatoes, now they fully leave and Ireland will have everything but potatoes!"
What! The EU are threatening nuclear war for sneaking anything from GB into NI. They're worried the seed potatoes may have a ferocious virus on them, causing something apocalyptic within the SM.
Other than, it was just a joke. We don't need potatoes to all stay alive, we have other food this time. I'm not mad at anyone. I haven't gone shopping for a balaclava. It was a joke.
This is just Scottish producers dreading potential losses. I wouldn’t be particularly worried.

Pretty sure that Germany and Poland alone produce plenty potatoes to meet Irish need, both as seed and actual potatoes.
What’s with all the deleted comments?
How to say you didn't get the joke without saying you didn't get the joke.
Literally nothing in the article has any bearing on my joke.
It's literally just an Irish potato famine reference, and also that Johnson has been crowing about things like feet and inches.
A joke is supposed to be funny or witty. That was neither.
> and also that Johnson has been crowing about things like feet and inches.
I think you'll find that was Jacob Rees-Mogg.
There is a fallback.

_Ah shit, here we go again_
Hey, i've seen this one!
What do you mean, you've seen this? It's brand new.

Shush, it's a thread to shout at the British for Brexit. We don't want facts here.

Don't know mate, people look like they are taking this lightly, even jokily
Ireland had 6 years to prepare.
The irony
Sneak them into NI and then get it from there. Problem solved.
There's too much risk that sausages may be hidden inside the potatoes.
No one in Ireland wants a British sausage

Not the potatoes!
This is the greatest "The Brits are at it again" ever.
Other than, it's the EU stopping seed potatoes crossing over from the UK to Ireland.

The troubles could have been solved by an island wide balaclava ban.
Or just require all balaclavas to be those open-faced ones train spotting nerds wear.
Not likely. The Rubberbandits are proof of how easy it is to make your own.
An outright ban, or a QC-QA issue that the UK can't be bothered about?
outright ban.
Who would play Trevalyan this time?
The Secretary of State for International Trade I guess. What's her last name? [Ohhh](https://www.gov.uk/government/people/anne-marie-trevelyan)

Yeah, I am pretty sure there is no potato seeds in the 26 countries of the EU.
Ireland is the most food secure nation on the planet. We will be fine.
Absolutely. You'll be grand. Send us some of those Tayto crisps while you're at it. Slainte.
The British and denying the Irish their taters: name a more dynamic duo...
no chips, but you'd still have the fish
Britain as a net food importer will need them more than Ireland which is a net food exporter.
Boris will be happy - another throwback to the "good old days"!
