but the UK imports approximately half its food

To err is human, to completely & utterly fcuk everything up requires an unresponsive & dogmatic government
-
Yes. My generation has seen the largest outflux of farmers ever in recorded history. It takes a lot to fuck over the. Wet ones who feed u!!

Does anyone really think the cons will replace lost EU subsidies? Despite, after all, still with £350m a week sloshing round
