Was it the reference to combined effect of Brexit and the pandemic that particularly offended you
I read it has conditioning the customer to get used to paying a realistic price for food
Is food getting too expensive?

I just read it as yet more farmer bashing.Was it the reference to combined effect of Brexit and the pandemic that particularly offended you

If only ( since let's say 1972
), food prices had crept up an iccle bit every year in line with inflation, instead of the massive jump ( consumer shock ) that's going to be needed in the next 2 years.And if organic farming has taught us nothing else, in times of recession, expensive food is the first to get kicked into touch.

Heard on the radio that our trade deal with India will soo be bringing in loads of intensive eggs - look out UK egg producers...
Call me old fashioned, but I would be happy to continue to pay a premium

Cheap imports have always been brought into the country, should that be cheap beef from Poland, lamb from NZ or now eggs from India. We aren't self sufficient in food production, so it has to come from somewhere.

True enough.
Hopefully transportation costs may just save our bacon. That and a promised bonfire of EU red tape, assurance schemes etc.
Prime Minister Truss may yet use her trade deal experience to our advantage?
