CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Trump Tariffs are doing a real number on coffee in the UK. It’s really frustrating how much his idiotic economic whims have such a far reaching effect.
Luckily I’m pretty well heeled so it doesn’t really matter but it’s still annoying. It must be tough for the less fortunate though.

FYI the coffee thing.
I was reading that the coffee bean harvest in Brazil took a BEATING this year due to global warming and that that is responsible for approximately 30% of the price increase in the US...
Certainly it's affecting the price in UK as well.

OK, I'll bite.
How do Trump tariffs raise coffee prices in the UK? With the US buying less from Brazil, prices should be lower than they would be without the tarffs

Thankfully I loaded up on coffee last year in Italy and this year in Panama and Costa Rica.

Good luck to them! That is a horrible strategy. Others will sell lots more. UK prices should come down soon as coffee from othe countries is more available.

I suggest that the higher prices are due to the scarcity die to climate change.
If the supply were the same as before the tariffs, there is no way that Brazil could help themselves by increasing prices.
