[QUOTE="Ashtree, post: 6971022, member: 3254"] I came across this thread just this evening. I have read through all the posts, with a mixture of mirth and incredulity. Why so, did I hear you ask? Quite simple really. I urge all you folks, now worried and concerned about the future of British farming, to cast your minds back to the attitude of many of you, before the referendum. If you have forgotten, just flip back to the very many threads and posts on what you saw as the “golden future of British agriculture, in a Brexit world”! May I remind you briefly of the primary take aways from your vision of post Brexit farming ..... as seemingly many of you have conveniently or otherwise forgotten. 1. NFU were classed as “traitors”, for supporting remain. 2. All EU regulations were nothing short of stupid “protectionism”, which hampered the derring do, trading and export tendencies of British farmers and businesses. 3. The afore mentioned EU regs as well as the Red Tractor scam, were nothing more than job creation schemes for civil servants. 4. The clamour was for nothing short of a hard no deal Brexit, which would slam big tariffs on food imports. 5. I seem to remember that many of you had a “rightful” expectation that the British people, once freed from the shackles of the spiteful EU, would be proud to support British farmers buying British first. 6. You were excited for a future of growing GM crops, unhindered by the “protectionist” EU. 7. Britain would forge ahead of the EU, by quickly and rapidly agreeing trade deals with all and sundry. Indeed I saw many of you claim, there was a long qeue of countries lined up begging to be first to get a deal with Britain. Needless to say, the EU would have utterly “crapped” themselves and lain prostrate before Liam Fox looking for a deal. Farming of course would benefit enormously. And there you have it folks. The foreseen dawn of a golden era for British farming post no deal hard as nails Brexit, in the cold light of the day, now looks like a dim and distant memory. Finally if I may leave you with one further thought. Farming and rural folks, make up 2.5% of the electorate. You don’t fudgin count when it comes to the real horse trading of trade deals. [/QUOTE]
