Meat sector warns of Brexit production squeeze

UK faces shortage of home-reared chickens as EU workers stay away, says trade group.

www.bbc.co.uk

So instead of just reporting the fact that there's a shortage of processing workers, the f**kers have to put a vegan spin on it.

 

[ShooTa]

i just read it - beggars belief.

 

[beardface]

If you scroll down to related topics the first topic is veganism. Bloody sick of the British indoctrination company.

And all the stories on travel industry problems and the lack of destinations yet never any sniping that less flying is good because it means less emissions.

 

[Guiggs]

Stop bankrolling the fecking BBC and cancel your TV tax.
They will soon be forced to reform when people protest with their wallet!

 

[jondear]

Most of the article is comments from a vegan society spokesperson what a load of shite .
Just a staff shortage because of Brexit .Feckers

We really need to challenge this one, it's a step too far from their "public service remit" imho.

It needs a carefully crafted response sent in as a complaint to both the BBC and OFCOM by large numbers of us.

That piece is thinly veiled vegan propaganda.

you know what i'm going to say ................what if a large number of us formed a group to contradict the rubbish in the press I don't know a union for example........................

Given that a lack of processing capacity will directly affect primary producers, you'd think they'd ask for a comment from a beef and sheep or and pig and poultry farmer. But no they ask the vegan society what they think.

So does that mean if there's a fruit and veg shortage they'll go ask for a comment from McDonald's CEO.

I reckon you're missing a huge part of the people pushing the 'cows cause climate change nonsense'. Shell, BP, ExxonMobil et Al must all be loving the distraction of methane from cows and sheep.

There's only one answer to climate change. Stop digging up fossilised carbon and burning it. Anything that takes focus away from that is counterproductive.

That's not a message the BBC like to promote though it seems. It's appears that it's more convenient for them to promote "offsetting", blame agriculture in general and ruminants in particular and keep heavily pushing dietary change.

Do any of their journalists have a science background one wonders?

If they think the meat industry is short of labour just look at the fruit and veg sectors.
Massive decline in avaliable labour, £20/hr was a figure I heard mentioned for seasonal labour in some parts of the country

C U Next Times.

I was thinking that some people were getting a bit paranoid about the BBC attacking livestock farming but that takes real effort to come up with that.

For sure, the oil industry will as you say be loving the distraction, but unless we have evidence that they are actively promoting the anti-cow agenda we would weaken our case by implicating them. I have tried to keep it factual, we should leave the blatant lies to the vegans.

 

[Ashtree]

Isn’t there even bigger staff shortage in veggie picking industry! Vegan lives matter, so best get that sorted before dealing with the poultry sector.

 

[SilliamWhale]

Nobody wants to become Vegan anyway, don't worry about it.

Meat is a superfood
