Yes i would like to see it in black and white before believing it. All "official" figures show imported red meat to be down in tonnage . Beef price rigging is the problem imo, competition authority needs to be involved.

Good on Aldi supporting and promoting British Beef through its TV adverts that i saw the other night.

Find Asda, Sainsburys and Tesco a total disgrace for there lack of support to its British Food producing industry.

Saw a great picture taken i a supermarket the other day showing freezers totally empty other than the vegan fake food area which was full . This made me smile as it shows people would rather go with out than eat vegan slop.

Vegan neighbour was complaining that she can't get almond milk, people are so desperate for milk apparently that anything with milk in the title disappears off the shelves. I almost made a comment about produce being flown in from thousands of miles away, but I am partial to bananas, so I didn't.

Someone on fb has actually posted a picture of a packet of mince,looks like killed in Poland,but minced in Uk.I have nothing against polish people ,one thing I think that country has stopped non stun so good on them.But surely food production in this country needs good support are we able to export .If slaughter houses are closing due to staff issues then everybody wake up because this could be the end of British beef,pork,or lamb.
