UK Farm Support......THE POLL!!

[stewart]

So there you have it, Ollie is a non farming train spotter - its out now

He could be a farmer who also like trains?

 

[spin cycle]

I am going to start a new poll. Should I claim job-seekers allowance merely with the intention of using the money to buy a train-set, something I have always wanted and which will appreciate in value over the years?

we're 'importing labour' to do the work whilst paying ppl to stay at home.....thats even worse than farm subs

Your assumption that the UK will always have a stroger currency in comparison to the UK is incorrect, Sterling is currently very weak compared to the NZD. "Rock star economy"

nothing like 1980s NZ u must surely agree?

If business can't find staff from within our shores, what other option do they have but to use foreign labour?

Do you mean NZ now compared to NZ in the 1980s

Well you have excelled yourself this time.

Since when did the price of food have anything to do with production costs ?

When you eventually wake up and smell the coffee, you will realise Supermarkets factored in support payments years ago.

How can production costs have any influence in a market where almost 50% of production is either left on-farm or thrown away ?

Break out of the bubble, the air out here is fine.............

are you aware that supermarkets buy in subsidised food from abroad? removing our own support is suicide

well they're going to have to bring their food with them cos i don't reckon they'll be much here

there was a bbc documentary 'valley cops'...in it the youngsters said there was no work locally.....how is it they can't move to work in this country yet ppl can migrate from eastern europe

 

[stewart]

Because the people from Eastern Europe are prepared to work, locals aren't

Or change / improve systems to reduce the amount of labour required , share with neighbours , etc

given that the sub comes from the general publics tax and that the richest and huge companies pay almost all of the tax in the UK are poorer people actually benefitting the most from a vast supply of cheap locally produced food and a much reduced weekly shopping bill?[/QUOTE]

First post on the thread and have not waded through the rest yet. But my a common issue you in your posts is 'poor' people - you do have a thing about 'the poorer people' in society and that you with your time and the 'wealthy' are subsiding. Per chance your middle name Josephine?

[roscoe erf]

You made me vote for a deek now man !

 

[holwellcourtfarm]

theres only 2 realistic options produce with support or import i had a third option of put prices up but imports from other supported countries like irish beef would undercut uk farmers

How about reducing costs?

Just a thought.......
