How do you think they managed during the lockdowns? The farmers asked for help and around 3,500 British people volunteered to help out.

@peterholden3672 That's fine, short term visas, we do need people to do this and that but does it really mean that we need millions coming every year without fail and without any thought behind it.

It's not really a net benfit to have a bulgarian fruit picker come here with 5 kids, immediately gain citizenship and then stay on benefits here for the rest of his life, that system is nonsensical.
Control the supply chains, control the people. Controlling food supply chains is control 101. It will never make sense transporting products from half way around the world that can be made, or grown, in local communities. This is about control, not reducing 'emissions'.
Sheeple WILL see, eventually, control the food, control the money, introduced a social credit system and you control the sheeple. A vote for the re-joining the EU is another brick in your own "safe" prison cell. Discuss.
Telling farmers to go green and stop farming 😮 so they can import food with lower standards and they use pesticides that are banned here , how does that make sense🙄
@@pallascat1743 Thats the point 8 yrs since we voted to leave. Yet we never had a bonfire of EU rules & red tape. We out of the EU in name only. Britain is free to do exactly what it wants with farmers. We were giving the EU approx. double the money each year that we got back in EU subsidies so we got plenty of money to help farmers now we left.
@ancietman Leaving the EU has meant the UK government had to acquire new trade deals. One was with Australia and its produce. However, Australian farming is on a lot bigger scale and the standards are lower than what we had with the EU. Our farms can't compete with their lower standards and the benefits of the economy of scale. Then there were other environmental standards dropped resulting in more sewage been dumped in our waterways. Also, off the top of my head, they got rid of the red tape that capped bankers' bonuses.

This country HAS to become more self sufficient and self reliant in so many areas, food sustainability, gas storage etc so as to stop the threat from countries that are already hitting us with cyber crime.

While we keep on increasing the size of the population, food security will always be an issue. Farmer's Weekly shared that what we grow in the Uk would only last until the 11th of August every year. Mass immigration is a major issue and it has to stop.
Mass immigration is one of the reasons why imported food is relied upon as many from certain parts of the world won't eat British food and the types of food they will eat can't be grown in the UK.
We've been importing food since at least WWII, where do they think oranges and bananas came from, nothing to do with Brexit. The issue is that the larger the population grew, the more foods were being imported. Plus we stopped eating seasonally, and the stores were providing imported foods all year round. Farmers told the media that they're feeding 100M population in the UK.
It was printed in the Daily Mail in 2023. In the same article, it was written that food stores had told them that the population they're feeding is 80M. However, it has been commented on-line that even the sewage workers are saying it is 100M. @@Justin-yt8zv
During WW2 the UK was more resourceful. Most people who had a garden were encouraged to "Grow their own. Make do and mend and Waste not want not." Oranges and bananas were so rare to obtain that there was a song called, "Yes, we have no bananas". Now in 2024 we have younger generations who have concreted over their gardens to park their cars and don't have a clue how to "Grow their own" let alone finding the time to maintain a garden. During WW2 scraps were collected to feed livestock and "Pig bins" were put in place for people to put their scrap vegetables to be collected. People were able to keep livestock in their gardens such as chickens, pigs and rabbits even in cities. Now it's extremely rare to find anyone who keeps livestock in their gardens. Rabbits are kept more as pets rather than food. Local councils still collect scraps but I'm not 100% sure what they do with it. People used to have a compost heap in their gardens to use as fertiliser for their gardens. Now most people buy it from garden centres and supermarkets. A lot has changed since WW2 including the increase in population and diversity.Having such a diverse population has increased the reliance on imports as the more diverse prefer foods that can't be grown in the UK.
I began growing some food in 2016, for health reasons and the neighbours complained during the lockdown and the landlord stopped it. I lived in London in the 50s, and 60s the houses where we lived didn't have any gardens, and there wasn't anyone with chickens etc. However, the London markets did have loads of fruit in the 60s, in the 50s, oranges and bananas were rationed. My parents gave me their rations of fruit because I was a baby. @@samanthahardy9903

Maybe a security specialist should have thought about it…a country that can’t feed itself because farmer sold their land for big bucks to housing conglomerates is back to wwll where we as an island have to rely on others instead of providing for our own people
If it was Brexit that is part of the problem why is it that the whole of Europe are having the same problems. the problem is the WEF and their influence in our governments.
As long as the British people allow government to spend millions on putting migrants into hotels, money that should be spent on British taxpayers will haemorrhage out of the British budget.
They used to pay foreign labour £50 a week, £15 a day depending on employer. Accommodation was provided in a caravan. Even those who pay a legal wage are able to claw back money in other ways.
In parts if the country housing is being built on arable land so we will have no choice. Some farmers are forced to sell farmland by the Government through compulsory purchase. They are sometimes blackmailed into selling land to build housing.
Weather in Spain has meant water shortages many countries have stopped exporting wheat and other foods to keep them for their own country, what stupidity our government is coming out with we need to be growing MORE food we should follow the Dutch with massive greenhouse’s for fruit’s and anything we need we should try to grow all the basics and anything else would be an advantage!
If this government had followed it through and actually secured a good deal then yes but you know full well that they have ignored the opportunities on purpose and the reason why they will no longer be in power come the election and hopefully Reform will surpass them in future elections as none of us are going back to voting Tory ever again.
