[QUOTE="Dalehitchy, post: 6972677, member: 73624"] Here here. Absolutely spot on. I was hearing and reading the exact same thing from farmers either face to face or online. By and large this demographic voted leave and discounting these very things as project fear. I hate the expression but what we said has indeed turned into project reality. I can only laugh in dispair at the realisation of new trade deals undercutting you lot. If you think the likes of trump and the American farmers lobby will accept a tarriffs on their meat and produce to ensure they cant undercut British farmers you need a reality check. They know.... As does the rest of the world, that the UK is now in a weak position and its either like it or lump it. Boris will pretend he's fighting your corner but like he always does, he will give in and allow America to undercut British farmers. Then it comes to labelling. He will give in there too. The rest of you lot that think 'the British public will use local butchers and buy british' are the worst. They won't. And what happens to the ready meals and restaurants; they won't advertise 'our meat is hormone injected and sourced from the US'. I at least will be at peace when most of you start to struggle against US mega corps and lobbies and I can say told you so. I remember so many Brexiters saying leaving the EU will be worth the pain for your freedom. Well here is your freedom. Being tied to the US rules and going out of business. [/QUOTE]
