A WOMAN has taken an angry swipe at Brexit after onions she bought went rotten within days of buying them.
In a post to social media yesterday, the unnamed woman from Bridgend, South Wales, shared her frustration on the state of the vegetables, and the supermarket’s availability.
She was quick to launch an attack at what she thought to be the reason why, pointing the finger at the UK’s departure from the EU.
However, her rant hasn’t garnered quite the support she likely hoped for, with an array of Brexit-related jokes fired in her direction from fellow Brits.
An image of the offending onions shows two of them sitting halved on a wooden chopping board with a large knife, surrounded by their skins.
Both have dark brown, obviously rotten centres, one of which she has cut out entirely and holds in her hand.
In the post, she wrote: “Getting real sick of this s**t. These onions were bought a few days ago. F***ing Brexit. Don’t tell me it isn’t Brexit.
“This rarely, if ever, happened before. The vegetable aisle is limited in choice and the quality has nosedived. It’s consistent now.”
The woman’s gripe has since received over 10,000 likes and more than 2,900 comments with mixed opinions on the situation.
One commented: “It’s climate change, the seasons are upside down and it’s messing with our crops, the same can be seen across the rest of Europe and further afield.”
Another pointed out: “The vegetable aisles are full to the brim every single day so I’m not sure where you’re shopping. But if you’re that unhappy? Grow your own onions.”
Others were quick to make jibes at her insistence on blaming Brexit.
One sarcastically wrote: “I got some satsumas from Aldi the other day and they’re not like Christmas satsumas. Bloody Brexit, eh.”
Another said: “Caught my elbow on the kitchen door today. This never happened before Brexit.”
A third said: “Can you propose a mechanism by which this could have been caused by Brexit, or are you just religiously committed to the EU?”
One user did agree with the woman’s plight though, writing: “I’m also finding carrots turn into liquid these days.”
She replied: “Carrots and celery seem to be the longest survivors in my fridge, but it isn’t as good as it was.
“Potatoes, tomatoes, onions, grapes… zip and they’re gone.”
