What if the little boats were going the other way? RICHARD LITTLEJOHN:

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 14, 2023
RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: During a debate about illegal migration on Nick Ferrari's excellent LBC breakfast show this week, a caller wondered: What if the small boats were going the other way? Regretfully, there wasn't time to investigate this area of inquiry before the ad break, or the news, or the most recent travel news, or whatever came next. Most listeners will have come away with the impression that the call was tongue-in-cheek. But it got me thinking: what if Dan from Dartford wasn't joking?What if Britain started shipping tens of thousands of migrants across the Channel to France ?Let's assume, for instance, that the EU suddenly closed its external borders to migrants crossing the Med illegally, backed by naval and military force? That's not as far-fetched as it seems.

This week, Heather Mills' VBites went into administration - one of at least ten major plant-based food and beverage companies to suffer from financial problems, plunging sales, or jettison ranges this year. The public's view of meat-free products is 'generally negative,' according to experts, especially anything with the word'vegan' on the label, comparing it to the rise of 'cool' craft beer and smoothies that resulted in a 'overproliferation of brands.' The price of meat-free snacks such as sausages, fish fingers, fake bacon, and other items are the same or more expensive than the real thing. Clients are back to meat because they are 'tired,' according to nutritionists, because maintaining protein intake is very difficult.' Nestle's Garden Gourmet plant-based vegan brand in the United Kingdom and Innocent stopped several dairy-free smoothies, boasting: 'We wanted to say a big thank you for buying them.' All five of you are so kind.' Heck has cut 10 out of 12 of its meat-free brands, with its boss admitting that customers were 'not there yet' when it came to buying many different vegan items.

Heather Mills accuses meat industry of 'gaslighting' as she blames a 'litany of lies' and 'corporate greed' for collapse of her vegan food firm 'VBites' which has plunged into administration

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 12, 2023
Sir Paul McCartney's ex-wife, 55, claims that dark forces within rival food industries have undermined VBites, making it one of the UK's top plant-based meat and cheese manufacturers. Vegan businesses are being attacked by the meat and dairy industries, as well as celebrities who work. She said they ran dirty advertisement campaigns 'joking about plant milk, insulting lactose intolerant people, as well as ethical environmental animal advocates.' Ms Mills formed VBites with the "sole intention of propagating the plant-based movement" and establishing a factory in County Durham with the intention of converting her native north-east of England into a 'Silicon Valley of plant-based foods', such as vegan sausages, burgers, and fish fingers. The demise of Heather's food business came during a tough year for vegan brands as demand for meat-free products eased. According to a report released today, companies should now consider not placing vegan on labels if they want them to succeed with weary shoppers. Following her exile from the Beatles' genius and bitter divorce feud that culminated in her hurling water on Sir Paul's barrister Fiona Shackleton, Ms Mills, a former model and ski instructor, set out to raise veganism and animal rights, becoming the UK's'vegan queen.'
