🔥 Britain 🇬🇧 Could Be Held To Ransom For Food!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- I spoke to @talktv last week about Save British Farming's London Rally to explain what is making British farmers resort to demonstrating.
Global events like Covid and Ukraine war have contributed to make things a lot worse, but the real problems facing farmers are due to successful British Governments allowing a supermarket monopoly. But #brexit has added an accelerator to #britishfarming demise with loss of subsidies, bad trade deals opening a flood of substandard imports, inadequate import checks, loss of labour supply and buckets of pettifogging bureaucracy for us to export to our biggest market in the EU.

Ireland had to construct several huge dairy processing plants to pick up the slack left over from Brexit...
Irish and eu Brexit benefit...
Are you saying that there was a milk shortage in Ireland immediately after Brexit?
This would not make a lot of sense, really. Where would the extra supply come from, as cows from anywhere dont just turn on or off on demand. This means that increasing supply somewhere depletes supply elsewhere. Milk is a commodity that doesn't age well.
He doesn't wantto hear brexit is big part of the farming crisis!
The right wing have strict rules about brexit😂 1.brexit good 2.avoid discussing brexit 3. Go back to 1 😂 they cancel people who might support rejoining😂
This is exactly what Jacob Rees-Mogg and his cronies wanted. Import food. For that you now have New Zealand and Australia. Job done, just like Brexit. Get Brexit done and done it is. Hopefully British farmers will take their protests to the doors of GB News as well as to Talk TV since they were and still are in support of the situation British Farmers and fishermen are in. Hope the farmers do not forget their silos full of fertilizers.
I agree. The farmers, though ignorant as evidenced by their votes for Brexit and a Tory government, need to be supported because no-one in government have their backs.
In my opinion, they will only get any sort of support if they are vocal on TV and other media about how they were lied to and misled by individuals such as Farage, Johnson, Rees-Mogg, Davies etc and organisations such as GB News and Talk TV.
The fisherman have taken a back seat for too long and need to join the farmers to expose the lies and those behind it.
pound devalued after Brexit against USD and EUR
Exactly!! That's good news for farmers
The value of all currencies goes up and down. It wasn't that long ago the euro dropped below the dollar. Now we are seeing the start of the dedollarisation and the euro zone debt getting out of hand once again. Another financial crash is just around the corner and the UK needs to be as far away from the EU so not to be dragged down when it's currency fails.
@@jim-es8qkno its not. They cant export
@@trytellingthetruth.2068the £ is lower than the long term average. Any fool can see that.
@@nicks4934
As I already said, that's the money market for you.
When the value of the £ is too high exports suffer. When the £ is low imports are more expensive. Unfortunately the money market isn't like the three bears, it's never, "just right".
That's how the financial world works, any fool can see that, but then again, apparently not.
Well said Liz, keep up the hard fight!!
From France as rugby 6 nations fan & traveller , I can't stand see you in this dire situation...Have read all Churhill , Clemencau, Eden , Mc Millan , De Gaulle...I cry today for remain side people .I'll be crying until my death. Why England ! England bankgansters did this unforgeable move to brexit in purpose ? Les banquiers bien sûr, aiment cette tragédie , this nightmarre . See you soon Big Nation from same famille ! .Remember ,Europe is Europe, England inside...You can't hide your Europe DNA :) espacially from France ! Cya bro
This is the first time I have ever had the chance to actually hear your views and answers in an interview. Comparing this interview ,on talk TV of all places, with that of Mogg on GB really shows what a nasty, rude, unknowing, impossible to teach low life he really is. Well done you Liz for getting your points of view so well told.
"Impossible to teach" describes his character perfectly and reminds me of the vintage clip where 10 yr old Mogg discusses politics with his grand pa par.

The UK hasn't been food self-sufficient since about 1850. Leaving the EU was never going to fix that.
Only because it was importing vast amounts from Ireland even as its population starved 1845-52.
@@kevinnolan1339 Yes, 1850 is just the approximate date for the UK losing the capacity to be self-sufficient although it was a nett importer of food from about 1750 due to choices made between farming and industrialisation.
Well, at least the passports are blue. Huge success!
They’re not as useful now that we’ve lost our freedom of movement but at least they’re blue - sort of.

Freedom of movement just meant free movement of cheap labour.
Didnt that gargoyle of a person say we could eat turnips?
Yes but even turnips are in short supply because of the many problems with brexit, weather and costs.
The lump known as Theresa Coffey the cigar smoking drunk. And waste of space. Remember she also said the flooding in England was because the rain came from a certain direction i think it was. Or words to that effect.
Hi Liz, I think this government is too busy cleaning up it's own sh - T at the moment to concentrate on food security!. Another day another crisis. what will tomorrow bring?. 🙃🙃🙃..................
We are in a lot of trouble for food.
if they could even clean up the rivers it would be a good start.
@@trident6547 Why clean up the rivers when they can tip all of the sh - T in the rivers AND PUT MILLIONS OF EXTRA POUNDS INTO THEIR SHAREHOLDERS POCKETS!. In their eyes these "rivers" are not living, breathing, diversities of life. They are a shortcut to increased PROFITS.
Keep going Liz, the more impact you have the more they will attack you. Don't give in.
If you buy the bulk of your food abroad then you are dependent on others, what’s difficult about that?
Risks being cut off.
You are a genius!😂
The UK hasn't been able to grow enough food to feed its people for centuries. Currently, some 50% of the food is imported. And now, all of a sudden food security should be a big issue. I can't help wondering what the hidden agenda is.
@@AlexGys9 think the point is with morevfarmers going under due to Brexit it'll be nearly 100% import.
@@kevinsheahan5449 Doesn't really matter does it? Britain can be held to ransom for food as long as it is not able to DOUBLE its current food production.
With import costs soon to be applied and with the emasculation of British farming... welcome to the WW2 v2.0 menu!
Global food production is disrupted by shifting weather patterns causing price increase.
It’s simple you got a LavaTory government that know the cost of everything and the value of nothing, and Couldn’t care less about the farming community and the pivotal role it serves in providing homegrown food.
Uk farmer benefit, still allowed to use pesticides banned in EU.
Which pesticides are those then?
Oxamyl, ipconazole, dimoxystobin, neonictinoids, and others . There is an EU listing
@dantownsend4246 they won't be able to export to the EU if they continue to use them.
They will mix nicely with the sewage in our EU free river! 😂
@@billpugh58 What a shitty bussiness it will be.
Legal action is required to restore the credibility of democracy. If politicians can say any old bullshit where does that leave us. There is no legitimacy without accountability.
'If one of our enemies can starve us then, we don't need any nuclear weapons do we? Nailed it.
It astounds me that people who wanted to take back control aren't alarmed by this.
We dont need cheap food
We need high quality food
In my area of Scotland they have been bulldozers knocking down trees and filling in the ponds whare frogs and deer and other wildlife lived 7 farms have closed it was once a lovely area
New import checks just announced. Small food importers will be put out of business.
All adds to the loss of food security. Britain is being made very weak.
following in the footsteps of the small exporters.
@@lizwebstersbf _Britain is being made very weak_ 'being made' makes it sound like it's not self-inflicted, when it really is.
@@maartenaalsmeer I don’t blame voters. I blame Tories, Jeremy Corbyn, Clegg and swinson.
@@lizwebstersbf I understand that but realistically in a democracy, the government you elect is the government you deserve. And voters *are* to be blamed for their stupidity.
Fools will always find someone or something to account for their woes - so long as it`s not them.
and what bites most of all are the European subsidies that you no longer get.
but yes, those pesky rules that the EU had. the only goal that the British farmers had was to get rid of the EU rules so that we can do what we want, such as using more pesticides, get rid of the animal housing rules. and now that the subsidies have disappeared and it turns out that you have to stick to the European rules anyway, otherwise you won't get a grain of grain into the EU. Now you're crying. I sincerely hope that no farmer is left standing in the entire UK. The EU has sponsored you for almost fifty years and as soon as you see a opportunity, the EU can take a stab in the back
Advocating violence?
We get paid to plant flowers instead and the food subsidies ensured Britain had the safest high quality food .... it's the people who suffer.
@@nicks4934
No, not Advocating Violence, but the English should stop being pathetic. Almost fifty years ago they came to the EU with their legs hanging because they could not hold it together, the UK was a sinking ship. then the EU admitted the UK. what they should never have done the uk has always been a troublemaker in the european union and has only caused stagnation. Now they have opted for Brexit and the entire Brexit process has not even been completed and the whining has already started again. learn to stand on your own two feet pennies never become pounds just get used to it
@@lizwebstersbf
yes and why do people suffer?? because they voted for Brexit. and don't come up with the story, they were lied to, because any reasonable person with an internet connection could have seen that the story of bojo and associates was completely wrong. half of Europe warned you, but you ran into the burning shed like a stupid cow
Yes but the EEC stabbed some of us in the back first, what goes around comes around.
It will be interesting to watch the EU over the next decade.
Belgium: I used to buy the best Brtiish sausages and bacon before brexit. Now I get it all from Ireland, great quality. I even had an Irish Hagis for Burn's night, but I have not had a pork pie in years.
Like everything the Brits do, wait for it to become a major issue before anything is done. We don’t do foresight and just end up copying policy from other governments.
The fact of the matter is that for the first time in hundreds of years, the UK is 'propless'. No colonies to rape and exploit, which went on even under the 'saintly' Attlee government. Little or no scope to further misuse North Sea oil revenues on tax cuts for tory donor types. And now there is a self-inflicted sanction of no access to the EU SM. Adrift, with piss poor governance and ever diminishing influence, the future looks rather bleak.
Great job Tories and those who have kept them in power and will still give them over 100 seats at the next election.
Liz sees it and says it as it is in the food production sector.
Brexit has been the worst thing for our farming and food industry. What happens next when the farmers quit and stop production. More foreign low standard low quality food will come in as we won't be producing enough homegrown produce.
The foreign producers know this and will hike up the prices of their substandard products as they know that we need the food.
Any foodstuffs that enter Europe eu will have to be checked accordingly.
Liz never mentions this.
From 2021 all food exports have to be accompanied by reams of certification to confirm it meets EU standards, and if only one of these documents were incorrect the whole lorry load would be refused entry. Before this, exportation was seamless, requiring just an invoice.
just guessing........but this wont have anything to do with all that RAIN we have had this year, destroying crops ACROSS EUROPE ?
No doubt Europe will be FEASTING all summer ?
I prefer to listen to Liz than any Con MP.
What happens if there’s a potato blight or foot and mouth disease and all of a sudden you have to get all your spuds and meat from New Zealand or Australia.
Liz u shud become a MP
How does exporting food contribute to food security ?
Exports make money. Imports cost more and need health certs.
Export, among others, means income for farmers. It's that simple. They need money as everybody else to keep on running a business.
We export the food we don't eat and are in over supply of sheep meat, we don't mutton - the Europeans do. Older meat for pet food and offal too goes to the EU. Europeans eat shellfish, we eat cod.
@@lizwebstersbf How is supplying the EU with food helping with your UK food security? Why do you UK farmers and fisherman refuse to produce the food you do eat?
@@Ooze-cl5tx the EU eat the food we don’t. We are in oversupply of sheep and don’t eat mutton. The Europeans do and offal. We export our surplus.
Ok, I'm confused. I don't live in Britain, but I'm fascinated with this Brexit concept. When the UK left the EU there was an increase in illegally imported food into Britain? Is the food no longer being checked because you're no longer in the EU?
Ukraine has more food in there supermarkets than us.
Shop there then?
Grow your own,set up your own village small farms,….This is serious mum,….😂
There are two approaches farmers can take just as any other business. You either scream you want more money for the same goods where you know that will trash your market share, or you figure out clever ways to use modern technology to increase output and cut running costs. The first way is going to lead to failure but is easy to do. The second method would lead to success but needs brains. Unfortunately those brains are preoccupied screaming at Westminster politicians and Nigel Farage. Do you recall how Red Robbo's campaign panned out in the 70s, or Arthur Scargill's? Talk to the government by all means, but talk to them about employing modern technology and maybe talk to a few universities that you might be able to work with. Use automation to cut labour costs. Be the coolest farm in the parish.
Only in liz world 🌎
Sorry but you have all ready ! 😂
She gets crazier by the day. We in the EU and the US will always be happy to sell our suplus to the UK - at a price, of course. Another Brexit benefit for us in the EU.
The UK government are going to slap 20% to 50% tariffs on food imported from the EU and the US.
No thanks. We want our own farmers to grow local food.
That's hardly food security, is it?
@@audreymcgready4329 You might want that, but the UK currently imports almost half of its food and more than half of that comes from the EU. The UK hasn't been food self-sufficient since the Industrial Revolution (or even before that) and changing that will be very hard. Especially since the UK Government isn't helping UK farmers out, the way the EU did.
@@audreymcgready4329 Ok, no problem. Lots of takers for EU-produced food. Just stop whining then about food insecutity and wanting to re-join the EU.
Im gonna blaspheme here and say something cruel but needed.
I think that the Eu wants the Uk anexed as a vassal state after a decade or two and british farming will be passively crippled over the years along with other UK industries that could be seen as allowing independence from the Eu. I say passively cause we arent necessarily doing anything to cripple it but more like we have an unspoken agreement to not trade directly and let it crumble on its own.
Consider EU as an empire and Uk as an unruly state that has hoarded much wealth over the years and decided to declare indepedence, an empire could either send the military and put order via an ocupation or just economically cripple the area by removing bussinesses, closing borders to negate trade and making sure that all produce and goods are imported from other much more loyal states.
The funny thing here is that the Uk basicially did most of that job by themselves with brexit and that the EU just needs to have an internal unspoken agreement to just ignore any of those bussineses such as farming and let them die on their own over a decade or two.
The day the Uk rejoins the EU , among others , farming has to be dead by then.
"civil servants living in London" are to blame?
Pretty sure it's government that makes policy. Civil servants just execute on policy. Not their fault if it's a dumb a$$ policy.
There is no doubt that for some people, cheap food is more important than their health, which is why they voted for Brexit since they have lost their ability to think clearly as a result of poor food quality.
Liz is doing a great job! Everybody needs to follow her!
Who does Liz think feed the UK during WW2. It was the Commonwealth countries such as Australia, NZ, and Canada. Then of course the UK joined the EU in the early 1970''s and turned its back on those very loyal commonwealth countries and they had to readjust their economies by seeking out new markets, and that took many years. Oh, the irony.
Why the repeated reference to a peaceful protest?! Any opportunity to push propaganda... Liz, I admire your willingness to go to these channels but I do wonder whether anyone of their audience is listening...
I am. Seems mps are too
I DO BACK THE SMALL FARMERS.

Each week and month, less tax will go to the exchequer, every day in Britain, businesses are closing, reducing in size and moving to Europe, where the population of half a billion are able to spend money for the products and services. Organisations are also closing or moving away, usually to the European mainland. Every time this happens, less turnover with taxable profit is lost. This extremely severe spiral of decline is now begining to show, empty office buildings, warehouses, factories are apearing in every neighbourhood and this is accelerating daily. Read Bloomberg, Reuters and the FT to confirm what I write here. This loss of economic activity is terminal. If it continues long enough, there will litterally be nothing left. There is no good reason for industry and commerce to remain in Great Britain except to seevice the local economy of just 60 million, not very economically well off, slightly unhealthy and un educated peasants as customers. You will have noticed less places open and fewer trades taking place in your locality already, just look at your high street or drive around your local industrial park or office district. For Sale and To Let are far too prevalent. Hopefully someone prominent will notify the press, and the population in time to force a way to re connect with the half billion wealthy customers just one days truckride away from our farms and factories soon, very soon. We dont have much more than a year or so to correct this shitshow, before we are forced to eat cardboard in the dark. Don't believe me? Then sit on your fat arse for just a few more months and then watch your hospital close, and hear the anouncements that government employees are to be sent home without pay. Just watch.
