Not at all but why shouldn't we at least aim to be 100% self sufficient in supplying the food we can? British Beef and Lamb are the best in the world IMO. How does financial support = state control? EU subsidies already support British agriculture (albeit now under the heading of Agri-Environment Schemes) Does this mean that the EU State control our food supply? Even in the old days of Milk Quotas, we still imported milk and milk based products from the EU. Not looking after food security within our own Borders is a recipe for disaster.

Chillidoggy 4,344 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I wholeheartedly agree with buying fresh local produce. But it’s not always possible, and by way of an example, only today I was forced to alter my menu plan for dinner as I couldn’t find any British tomatoes in Sainsbury’s, only Dutch and Moroccan which I flatly refuse to buy. How on earth is it better for the environment to fly bloody tomatoes half way round the world when there’s the biggest vegetable hydroponic factory imaginable about three miles away in the form of Thanet Earth?

Will the EU allow it to happen though or will they blink at the 11th hour. Friends of ours in Germany say that many Germans are highly concerned at the financial implications for them of a U.K. no deal Brexit, since they recognise how much Germany & the U.K. prop up the EU funds Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are some potential flaws in the approach. Many are feckless and lazy too. Education has a big part to play, I agree. But we stopped teaching young people about parenting, supporting themselves, making do etc. years ago when it became fashionable to pretend it was in our interests to be reliant on the state. Fooking Labour! Used to be the party for the workers but became the party for the shirkers. It's easier these days for people to spend £5 or £10 on processed shite and justify it to themselves, than spend £5-£10 on in season veg and make a wholesome broth or soup with some added lentils that would fill them with goodness.

Kimbers 1,794 Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Gotta love the EU.... From this article: "EU negotiators told European diplomats there was currently no basis for "meaningful discussions" and talks were back where they were three years ago.". No Basis for meaningful discussions.....let that sink in.....and that is why we are leaving! Boris's reply is basically "Well thats unacceptable............ To which the EU replied "No it isn't" Boris "Yes it is" EU: Oh no it isn't.........etc etc. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49240809 Quote Possibly save your life.

LotusFella 112 Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 I find it amazing the blatant scaremongering about Britain going into recession after 1 quarter negative growth and then Germany has 2 and is only on edge of recession! If we had 2 we would be in a recession to end all recessions because of brexit! Not because of us/China trade war! I can hear bloody Phillip Hammond blaming BJ for that also He maybe a loose cannon, but it will end the the bloody brexit saga so we can all move on. If we had left of the 1 June 2016 this would have been all done and dusted 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
