Nothing important. This is just Boris going all “Look at me, I have a sharpie, too!” on us.
Or the bit about interning enemy aliens.

Paragraph 15 in full
ETA:
There is speculation that it was (illegally!) redacted to try to stop panic buying and storing of fuel.

So we can expect a repeat of the panic buying, resultant fuel shortages, and general immobilisation of the entire country that we saw during the fuel blockades of 2000 (which we should really regard as an instance of anti-climate terrorism)

It’s a bird that is thriving in Europe, but in danger of dying out in the UK because of lack of food.

Scaremongering!
Where’s your can-do spirit?
We survived the blitz!
We can grow our own food!
It’ll only be 6 months, tops! Everything will settle down after that… sure, there’ll be medical/food/fuel shortages, food riots when people are starving, mass lay-offs and a collapsed economy in the short term but it’s the will of the fucking people! /s

would that area be within the borders of Alabama?
I have this unpleasant suspicion that the estimate of labor relations issues causing only 1-2 weeks of disruption has more to do with the likelihood that a bunch of Tory brexiteers freed from ECHR restrictions and with a handy state of emergency would be quite enthusiastic about countermeasures that would make Thatcher look like a communist sympathizer than with expectations that people would sort out their differences in that time.

Auburn, of course, is within the state of Alabama. They do substitute other team names for “Auburn”-- and fans of one of those frequently named teams might be inclined to return the compliment.
