Co-op British meat only policy

[Anonymous...]

Do we as farmers then decide not to sell products, just in case we may put food in the mouths of a labour voter

I suspect it will take more than a few quid from the co-op to get Corbyn and his Commie mates into Downing Street.

I'm not complacent, because offering free stuff will always be a vote winner. However, at the moment we hopefully have enough voters with just enough basic grasp of economics to realise that the Labour sums just do not add up.

If only it was that easy. Then they could only survive by eating the fruits of their money trees.

In the past I've refused anything to do with the Co-Op like the banking because they all pay over a political levy to Labour

I think that the Co-Op is improving in quality and value. Their milk seems to taste more creamy than the big boys although the fat% is probably the same. Strange there can be such a difference in taste.

Can't see anything that says they are only buying from Labour voting farmers ?

I would be inclined to stay out of the politics of this one and be thankful they have put British meat first.

Tertrible British farmer fetish on here for British meat in particular! And why not? It's top quality stuff!
Don't see the same fetish for British tractors, cars, machinery in general!
Why??
