I was thinking that - I've lived in the UK for 60 years and not noticed much food insecurity. I mean if we were cut off there would be shortage of avocados and bananas and the like but we wouldn't starve. We might have to take some of the set aside land and plant potatoes or something.

The food security situation in the UK was looking pretty dire 83 years ago. Food imports were cut in half, and attempts to increase domestic production had only limited success. It would have gotten a lot worse if Canada and the USA hadn't stepped in to help break the German blockade and deliver food aid. Memories are apparently short.
