Why oh dear? Has the penny finally dropped that it’s your meat that’s going to be replaced
Nah! UK farmers will exit the game. Irish product will take the premium shelf. Aussies and yanks will take the hormone/pen-strep shelf.

What about a dingy loads down in DoverAnd I ain’t got enough to fill a boat
Remember when British Coal was £79 a tonne but it was £43 a tonne shipped direct to the power station from America. At same time Wheat was £120 a tonne but could be shipped in from US at £80/t. Don't remember many of you guys supporting The Coal industry and its supported businesses. Why would Joe Public shed many tears if a few over subsidised farmers bite the dust. That is Irony!
Exactly , if they had kept calm and Carried on they would have dug coal for many years more .This line of argument comes up here every few months. By "supporting the coal industry" would you have expected us to attend the picket lines, fight the police, or just have empathy for working men and 200 years of industrial history being flushed down the pan?
I remember lots of empathy, and tales of farmers taking pallets of spuds and veg to be given away free at Northumberland pits, and lots of comments that Scargill was as much to blame as Thatcher for ordering the profitable pits to go out on strike.
Is it not already ?Look Wales could be rewilded and Scotland planted
with trees and we will meet all our enviromental targets

Scargill was a Marxist who wanted to bring the entire country down and tried to use the miners to that end. Unfortunately for him, he was up against a PM who stood for everything he didn't and when the union split during the strike the game was essentially up for the entire British coal industry. From there on, it was all about open casting and cheap polluting foreign coal.
Is it not already ?
Well, at least until the climate activists demanded they stop at least.Exactly , if they had kept calm and Carried on they would have dug coal for many years more .
Now it’s all about re-wilding and cheap foreign food. Whatever could go wrong??
I was told alot of farmers lorries were used opportunistically to haul coal to keep the powerstations going , and you could name your price .This line of argument comes up here every few months.

That’s leftie extremist s for you ! Nasty bar stewardsWell, at least until the climate activists demanded they stop at least.
If you’ve spent any time reading the Guardian comments section you’ll be aware of the lingering hatred for Margaret Thatcher “for what she did to the miners” (etc) with a memorable ‘comment’ section after her death where readers said they would travel to the cemetery to “pi$$ on her grave”.
The irony being that the Guardian and it’s readers also demand an end to coal mining and burning, so in effect they would have done the same as Thatcher, albeit for different reasons.
Of course the ‘80’s Labour Party was about the working man and woman, before it was hijacked by middle class identity ‘politics’, turning its back on manual workers, and damning itself to eternal opposition…
At least we have one, unlike many on here!Just their warped sense of humour.
£3,400 per yr, your’s more?
$40,000 per year, not sure what we get for it as it all goes into the council coffers, as farming is a business we effectively pay business rates, the point being that we can all look at a selective part of our own industry and say there is not a level playing field, you have to look at the big picture with an overall view and not expect the world to operate in the same manner as the UK does.But can you beat it & if you can what do you get for it?
