We need to spread out. The population of the SE is similar to Scotland and Wales combined. Everyone needs somewhere to live and all the demands that go with numbers of people.
Going back to me previous post, if we were to give every person a carbon footprint value, the SE would be far and away the greatest polluter, and so on.
Agriculture (in theory) should be the winner as everyone has to eat, and importing food also adds to emissions, unless of course we import everything and there is a nett gain over producing at home.
Importing to much affects National Security and woe betide being held to ransom by food and fuel suppliers.
As we now row our own canoe, and it gathers momentum, being independent with both food and fuel should become a national priority.
After decades of farming responding to what has been asked of us, and then being used as the whipping boy when needed, we have reached a point where we need a voice that is heard.
It's time to lead instead of following.
