Tens of millions of individual altar breads are needed by the Irish market each year and are largely imported from Europe, but are predominantly transported via the UK landbridge. While a number of religious orders also produce millions of altar breads each year, their produce is not enough to cope with demand, as it is estimated that more than six million altar breads are needed for those attending mass in Dublin alone each year. Speaking with the Irish Mail on Sunday, Desmond Wisley of the ecclesiastical firm of the same name, said that his firm ordered millions of extra supplies of altar bread in advance of the last Brexit deadline of October 31. Whatever challenges Brexit may pose, Mr Wisley is seeking to ensure that Mass, at least, will be Brexit-proof. ‘Every month we get approximately 1.5 million breads in stock. We have doubled the order to three million in case of any delays in transit through the UK.’ In addition, while they usually order two pallets of altar wine a month, they have increased this to four pallets, or 2,280 bottles of wine, which has 15% alcohol content.

Why not have Jesus deliver them by foot directly from France or Holland - no need for a landbridge at all.

Let us hope they can deselect many of the Blairite traitors. My take is that the establishment through their acolytes in the media , integrity initiative etc have carried on a relentless demonisation of Corbyn as they are terrified of him which puts him in saintly territory as far as I am concern. If all the people I hate hate/fear him so much there must be something good about him. He would get my vote no doubt regardless of his Brexit stance. My belief is that he / Labour party are trying to ensure that the blame for Brexit will be put on the Tories....Unsure if that is successful especially as i listen too much to the LBC and there is a preponderance of attempts to try and blame labour and specifcally Corbyn for the lack of progress in exiting the EU. They must believe we have no memories it was Teresa's red lines that complicated the issue ....perhaps on purpose. See how Boris's deal is not too far from May's...this is the max that they will be able to sell to the UK's public as an acceptable break from EU which is much worse than the deal they already have. Unless Boris is a brilliant campainer I think it is Corbyn's to lose. Perhaps the loses labour will have in North England will be balanced by gains in Scotland I think they or the SNP will gain all conservative seats in Scotland

The man comes across as a spineless idiot who has basically failed at everything he in life he tried. Hell he lost to May in an election ffs. You can’t get any worse than that. And every single poll conducted puts Boris miles ahead of Corbyn. All he has to do was campaign on a new referendum to the people and he hasn’t even the balls to do that. Plus he’s even more anti EU than Boris.

Similar to FF here with weak MM at the helm.
