Post Brexit Agriculture

IronGiant

No rationing and powdered egg.

I don't see the connection between that and Genetically Modified crops?

IronGiant

I think he's making the point that post-Brexit will lead to rationing and powdered egg - but the development of genetically modified crops will (luckily) prevent that happening.

...But I could be wrong

EarthRod

Thanks Alan, I'm not being deliberately dense, but I maybe being dense

IronGiant

Maybe you have a very deep knowledge of genetically modified crops and couldn't sort out the wheat from the chaff.

...Er... You know what I mean

More likely my brain is still recovering from my Birthday yesterday  

IronGiant

My jokes are too complicated for a Saturday night. Or terribly poor.

Let's not worry about it then

IronGiant

I think that farmers want to have their cake and eat it.  The farming community in the main voted to leave the EU.  

Now having done so they not only want the government to carry on dishing out huge subsidies to farmers, but only this morning there was a farming spokesman urging the government to increase immigration from the EU so they can continue getting cheap labour for picking crops.

It appears to me that all Brexit is going to achieve is change one lot of vested interests for another whilst the rest of us just continue to get poorer.

Faust

Ah, but these vested interests will be home grown,


if that makes any difference
