- I spoke to Nick Ferrari on @LBCOfficial about what is happening to British 🇬🇧 farming and food.
Much of the problems are because of #Brexit and bad deals together with bad trade deals.

Brexit supporter Ferrari doing his usual and not saying he was on the radio every day for 2 years praising brexit every day and now says nothing about his ardent support of brexit. What a right wing muppet!😮 Need more people like you Liz but may be all too late
Ferrari?? Robin reliant on a good day perhaps.....
@@uweinhamburg too right. Has an interesting history though. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Ferrari
I kinda agree but if we're to return to our place in the EU we need to win over people like Nick Ferrari - show them why we're better in than out, show them the negative effects of being out an how it's not worth the bragging rights about fake sovereignty.
EU could give us a hand by reforming itself as well.
Can re-apply to EU and could be back in EU within a year or two BUT the EU needs to know that the snooty nosed contingent won't be making clowns of themselves again. Brexit has shown that the EU is where the power is and the UK is a sinking ship.
@@calumscott8737 _EU could give us a hand by reforming itself as well_ Rather presumptuous to expect the EU to cater to the wishes of an unreliable ex-member, don't you think?
People should have listened to the experts not the clowns (including Ferrari that contributed to the destitute of millions of his fellow compatriots). Have any of the clowns apologised?
The majority of farmers gleefully voted leave and celebrated when they won. Tough, you won get over it.
Well said!
This was all predicted. The answer was insults and "Project Fear". No sympathy.
I bet farmers will vote Tory next time, as they did ,and there fathers before them,
Lots of us realise Labour govt is better for farming but don’t let truth get in the way of your fantasy that farmers are a monolithic voting bloc
@@lizwebstersbf Liz bit harsh of a comment, just answer one question, when farage turned up at your tractor rally in London was he not treated by farmers as a hero, not one cross word was spoken ?after all he was the. Brexit instigator, ?
Well said!
@@lizwebstersbf”Lots of us” is an extremely vague, even meaningless in this context, use of phraseology. It’s well-known that farmers vote overwhelmingly Tory….or are you prepared to deny that?
Farmers and fisherman voted and now they're complaining? It was THEIR choice, no one forced them to do it.
So now bear the consequences. Wrong choice? Tough luck.
Well, farmers got what they wanted: a tory government and no more EU. Enjoy.
*And* blue passports. Huge success!
You are a bigot .Not all Farmers voted for Brexshit . Also Pakistani restaurants voted for brexit .
This. When they voted Brexit, they didn't give a damn about the impact on the rest of us. Now that it's blown up in their faces, they want us to care.
Nope. Fuq em.
Some farmers, not all.
About the same as some brits, but not all.
Being able to blame someone or a group seems to be the main topic in the UK nowadays, in order to not have to look in the mirror to all the things wrong with the country and it's people.
That's why the UK doesn't get on in its development, always looking back and pointing at others, no self-reflection nor criticism.
They were one of the most vocal supporters of Brexit , thought they were going to clean up financially and to hell with the rest of us. Reap what you sow , that old farming phrase 😂
I saw a huge sign the other day in farmer's field, it said, 'We're sorry for backing Brexit, we were wrong, let's rejoin the EU', oh no actually that was wishful thinking.
I suspect that at next election the farmers will again have posters saying vote Conservative with large English flag
Don’t think the farmers vote swayed anything their numbers are not significant enough for that
For a minute there, I had a sharp intake of breath! Alas it was nothing but a dream
@@pipins3616 However, their influence over the Conservative Party is significant.
Will Ferrari ever apologise for his obvious Brexit support from a position of influence? By now he should know what is really happening and should publicly acknowledge and regret the issues created by leaving the SM.
Remember the way Farmers supported the miners during their strike in the 80's, also the ship builders and car workers during their decline? no, neither do I.
It was not a decline it was a tactical evil plan of deindustrialising the whole of Britain 🇬🇧 during her tenure at number ten. Thatcher also removed everything that was worked for by the working classes over the decades. Scotland, England Wales and Ireland were stripped of everything. Now we are a nation of services with no industrial infrastructure left in place. We are the laughing stock of the world, but we still support Mr Alan Sugar remember his rip off Amstrad electronics empire, and then cut and run 🏃 to avoid manufacturing costs Mr Dyson who is just another overpriced electronics crook. TATA steel is the final nail in our coffin along with allowing our award winning fuel refineries to be closed down and sold off. What about our once world leading railways and Royal Mail now even poor sods who fell for the government heat pump scheme are going to be 💰 paying a tax on it from next April you couldn’t make this stuff up. Our water companies say that they need billions in grants, but it’s paying billions to its shareholders headquartered in Australia for god’s sake.
Dear Liz
Farmers' problems will not be solved even if the government agrees to their demands. They must sell their products, something the UK lacks the capacity to accomplish. There is a need to sell to other countries, especially the European Union, which was lost due to Brexit.
Do you know which country is the world's second biggest food exporter after the USA? I live in that country and sadly we have just voted in an anti EU party. Something else we are famous for is trade. We have a huge port that supplies a huge chunk of the EU with import and export facilities. Yet still a huge number of people here have been duped into thinking that our relationship with the EU is the cause of their problems. If you didn't know, I'm talking about the Netherlands. I've lived here more than half my life and before that I was in a farming family in the UK. It is so troubling that so many people seem to love to blame the EU for all their problems.
They blame immigration for which they think leaving the EU will fix. Of course for the uk that is now going great with very low net migration. Oh wait….
@petertimmermans8425 I hope you are right. My point is not just that Wilders is a nasty piece of work. I mean I've covered his anti EU stance, but he is anti immigration and anti Muslim too. It's the fact that such politicians are gaining traction in many parts of the world (and the UK seems to have led the way) and it means that the people we live amongst are happy to vote for such people and that is sad to hear. I had hoped that seeing the after effects of brexit, the people of our country would shy away from such politicians. I genuinely hope that your politicians can grow a spine and tell the people the truth, that they are suffering from the results of something they were mis-sold.
@@NickAskew Yeah, Putin has too much inference on the European right wing. And in the UK, Boris Johnson still likes to keep company with Putin's old cronies!!
@@NickAskew I cannot get my head round the voting in the NL. I have worked with many Dutch and travelled there much on business and leisure. They always seem sensible and Liberal minded. Wilders seems to be such an anachronism. I guess they have fallen into the same trap as the UK voters - the EU has become a massive single target for those who wish us ill.
Well unlike miners, most of farmers were staunch Tory and pretty much voted for their own demise.
thats is hilarious
And the police probably didn't infiltrate the Farmer-Union.
@@michaelmayo3127definitely didn’t. These fools are overwhelmingly generational tory voters that never expected they will be on receiving end. They thought they will get deregulated standards ( US, Australia,NZ,Canada,Brazil,Argentina etc ) ,keep subsidies as with EU… Sadly for them that type of food can not be sold in EU .Others have more than enough and due to scale make it cheaper ( lol trying to compete with US/AUS/Brazil mega farms) they ever could. And Tory are quite happy to use land for whatever purposes their rent seeking mates decide …
so what's your point, "I told you so" dead right but does it help?
@@teddyboysdontknit810well, you know how it works with alcoholics? First you have to accept it, then there is chance of remedy.
Scaremongers?
Leave had about one economist on their side: Prof Minford. He said that Brexit would devastate UK manufacturing and farming.
Leave was right about summat then!
I was being facetious by calling myself a scaremonger 😉
The only thing that is scary is you cherry picking membership perks . No rejoin.
@@lizwebstersbf It is a bit misleading. Many of us just look at the titles to judge whether we want to view. I personally watch your videos because it feels good to see the farmers getting their comeuppance so soon after they Got Brexit Done. The farmers who voted Leave (ok, I accept it was just a slim majority) couldn't have cared less about other industries going to the wall, or about people losing their freedom of movement on our own continent (even the car industry was an acceptable casualty to them- which may yet come about due to supply chain issues).
@@jcvastgoed1490 good job somebody is picking the cherries. The EU gave membership perks and protection, the Conservative government is doing the opposite, few perks and no protection.
@@Holliethedog you delight in others comeuppances as if it will have no effect on you. How are you sheltered from the downfall of UK farmers and loss of food security?
It's not just farming standards. Agricultural land in other parts of the world is much cheaper than in the UK and energy costs are much higher in the UK. Just the climate in countries such as Spain, France and Italy means that greenhouses require little to no heating compared to the UK. So for these reasons alone UK farmers need financial support - which the EU provided through the Common Agricultural Policy to the tune of £3.5billion annually. Those supporting leaving the EU made promises that the subsidies would remain. And guess what happened... Never trust a tory.
Those that voted for Brexit got exactly what was on the tin. Low wage for middle and lower levels of our society and Low tax for the upper levels of our society and the cherry on the cake for the Brexit pushers 'Deregulation' and everyone thought that meant ripping up the rules and regulations in the financial sector to make London investment friendly, but of course who will invest money in what has become the money laundering capital of the world and investments which are not much better than Ponzi schemes, and of course the clever investors moved their portfolios to Dublin, Paris and Frankfurt, and I may add that EU haters like Jacob Rees Mogg did not miss this and moved a branch of his business into the EU. And of course the most prominent example of ripping up these ' EU regulations' is the dumping of raw sewage in our rivers and seas... I don't remember that displayed down the sides of UKIP and Conservative right wing buses.
Not for E.U. consumption, says it all really...
Sad but true. Welcome to third world Britain. Hopefully when Labour get in they will at least sign up to maintain regulatory alignment (even though we have no say in the rules) to ensure standards can be maintained. It is no wonder with starving of funds to the NHS and lowering food standards that the UK has the lowest life expectancy in the whole of Europe.
not fit for E.U. consumption , next.
Hi this is Shane from Down Under. Thank you for buying our polluted food. Brexit is great. I contributed to Nigel's great Brexit campaign. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The joys of Brexit ! Complete deregulation……
The farmers and the farming industry has always been traditionally Tory voters .
So this is an eye opener if this is the way the Tory party repays their loyalty by decimating their industry .
Never ever again with the Tories .
Not an eye-opener. This was common knowledge. Or, at least, it should have been.
Pity most British farmers voted to leave the EU really. Oh and most vote Tory too don't they? Oh well, be careful what you wish for, comes to mind.
The one who could have stopped Brexit was totally ignored because he didn't have any public voice.
This is the problem with society.
Everyone is looking in the wrong direction at the wrong people. The truly talented and insightful are invisible to the masses.
Ferrari, who has never run, owned or worked in the fishing and farming industry, pushed brexit for his tory chums like he knew what he was talking about for 3 years, and now the reality has come home to roost he today tries to sit on the fence trying to hope no one mentions his party in pushing brexit on all his thick listeners.
Sorry Liz it does matter what you ( the farmers ) voted for. The farming community I know all voted Brexit. Yes most farmers are male but their wives voted Brexit too.
The two tongued host asking you questions Liz should be apologising for the train wreck. He was constantly on about freeing the UK from the shackles of the EU (as most now know, including him, that there were none). One look at him, and you know how intelligent he is-not😂
Tories have managed to upset everybody ! Except for a few multi millionaires who live abroad.
Yep - they live in the EU
When both Putin and Trump support something then it's almost certainly a seriously bad idea.
They weren't thinking of anyone in Britain - including British farmers - when they advocated Brexit. I wonder what they did want Brexit for?
Excellent point
As Ms. Webster said, it doesn't matter how we voted BUT it is really worrying. The favourite Brexiter economist, Patrick Minford, was not shy about ruining British manufacturing and farming. So it comes to pass ... When I see farmers livid/scared/angry, it is extremely worrying & arrogant British politicians aren't listening. Where do we go from here?
I think we are all the victims of Putin's asymmetric forever war against the West.
No, you in the UK are victims of your education system and mindset.
Look at yourselves instead of constantly pointing at others that at best had a minor support role in the main act.
Putin forced British farmers to vote Leave
@@ab-ym3bf Can't it be both? The governing Conservatives were almost exclusively funded by wealthy Russians in the past decade. Corbyn too had his own links to Russia.
@@ab-ym3bfI don't think Britain is too different to a lot of other states, there is a rise in the hard/far right and euroscepticism across the EU too. I agree that ultimately only the British have responsibility for what happened but lets not be naive and think the brits were unique in Europe. Yes, the education system and english exceptionalism had a lot to do with it (the Scot's had the same amount of effort and media bias thrown at them, but have a separate education system, yet voted pro-EU in a higher proportion than polling in most EU countries was running).
We do need to do something about how vulnerable we are to foreign interference in our politics and media (not just putin, Murdoch is a foreigner too) and we need to do a lot more to answer exactly what role that had.
Liz is a wonderful ambassador for food, farming and Britain.
Where’s all the EU flags? No sympathy to farmers until I see them asking to rejoin the EU.
Oh look, the party of landlords and property developers is allowing the countryside to go to ruin so they can build on it. What a coincidence.
Congratulations, that's the stupidest thing I've read today.
Well done, you were up against some pretty stiff competition.
@@erushbass8326 Nice try, Tory troll.
@@alex.velascoThe only answer to all our problems is a Conservative government led by Nigel Farage, and the hardest of hard Brexit.
There was a food security plan. It was pan-European. You lot campaigning for Brexit, because you could give the Jonny Foreigner farmers what for, ruined that
Brexit, the greatest UK error of the 21st Century. The signs of the failure are everywhere and it's so depressing. The UK will rejoin one day but will the new deal ever be as good as it was.
Congratulations. Brexit benefits has finally arrived
Yes absolutely but respect as a former miner from the thatcher days most of my social company where farmers? They had no real sympathy towards miners? I always argued the need to compete? The miners where to have to compete with imports from all over the world including filthy ridiculous oil substances from South Africa? My goodness they thought the concervatives were on their side? Takes time to prove it! But here we are??!
Fareed Zakaria gave a good analysis of Brexit. If the UK were to join the United States as the 51st state. It would be the poorest state of the Union, below Mississipi.
The UK (2.8 trillion dollars GDP) would be second behind California (3 trillion GDP). Brexit is a disaster, but the statement is incorrect. The figures are 2018.
I’m in a neighbouring country of the EU and following UK politics since that earthquake in June 2016. I was dumbfounded with the level of support for leaving when in the UK in early June 2016. Some people’s opinions actually made me feel uncomfortable.
My friend visited his home Town Ipswich (population 145,000) this Summer. The High Street was full of pound shops, charity shops and boarded up premises. The area around is rich farmland. The growers produce huge quantities of food, but are all contracted to supermarket chains whose contracts forbid them selling to anyone else. Is this the "free market" the Tories, since Thatcher, have promised?
There's one thing that the Tory don't want and that's a free-market. And that also incudes a free and organised labour-market!! What the Tories want, is one big messy free-for-all.
Farmers campaigned FOR Brexit. No sympathy
In fairness, not all of them were Brexit supporters. There is the perception that all farmers were in favour of Brexit, and it’s certainly true that here in Kent the fields were swamped with ‘Vote Leave’ placards. But you’ll see on the video the table that showed that support for Brexit was lower in many farming areas than in the community as a whole. Remain supporting farmers realised exactly what would happen to them post-Brexit. It’s especially true of sheep farmers. They already had to contend with lamb brought in from New Zealand, and realised that a lot of the protection that the EU afforded them would be removed. Many will say they have to compete on price in order to survive, but they’re now competing on nothing like a level playing field.
Most farmers, fishermen, and livestock farmers voted for Brexit! I am not a farmer, but even we knew the answer to a fundamental question: if UK imports 80% of it's food, how is it going to procure tarrif free food ( extra cost) after brexit!
Miners, on the other hand, did not choose Brexit! They were deliberately made redundant by the reptiles.
I agree Arthur Scargill was indeed a reptile
@@cujimmi That's not what he said, but you know that, and we all know that Arthur Scargill was supporting miners and their families thrown on the slag heap by Tory ideology.
@@teddyboysdontknit810Arthur Scargill was nothing but a jumped up little Hitler who used the miners to further his own political ambitions instead of doing his job and representing them
@@teddyboysdontknit810the only person Scargill supported was Arthur Scargill
@@cujimmi Oh and your an expert on that are you.
The farmers and many others, should be thankful to the likes of Johnson, Farage, Rees-Mogg, Frost, Sunak, Truss, Badenoch, Braverman etc. etc. for what they have done. And they are still figures on top level of politics in the UK.
You are real? Dear GOD!!!
in the EU brexit is not a theme anymore..only in the UK^^
Correct. Some are talking about rejoining already! As if the rest of the world does not have anything else to do, other than think about the UK every day!
Turkeys voting for Christmas
And Christmas arrives.
Merry Christmas!
Not heard that before,
When we in Canada ship to UK. We are not allowed by British standards.
Who was it that voted for Brexit again? What's that you say? Those were farmers? Oh, dear. I'm sorry, gotta go and laugh my head off for a while.
“It doesn’t matter what we voted”. Yes it does.
There is nothing to be done about it at the minute. The farming community and its leaders must strive to work around it in order to save British food. Constantly ruminating on brexit and its devastating consequences only serves to divide.
@@marionlarkin1161 I can tell you voted for it.
The first step is admitting fault, then the second is personally putting in the work to make it right.
But thats the right wing for you, never taking personal responsibility and putting in the work
@@TheJase8566 Whatever!
Believe whatever you want to believe.
@@marionlarkin1161 The idea is that you should learn from errors, although that isn't possible with Brexit. Constantly ruminating on brexit and its devastating consequences is important because the political leadership doesn't and that's the issue. Just hiding the head like an ostrich, and Brexit was great.
Liz, you are a hero!
Liz Webster, it doesn't really matter now as we're out of Europe, Really spoken like a true Brexiteer!!!!
So, dear I say. I see tumble weeds meandering across the sunlit uplands and rib bare unicorns with elongated hoofs no longer prancing. What is this nightmare?
Perfect interview!
can you stay away from the EU, thank you,
dont get to close to us... arent you on the way to the Pacific...
if you passing South Africa, say hello!
Britain's had a while. The referendum was almost 8 years ago. Brexit was finalised 3 (?) years ago.
I'd have thought by now, Britain should have at least rounded Cape Horn and passed Chile on its way to the Pacific to trade with its new neighbours.
😅😆
We were going to go the Atlantic route via the Falklands but a little country called Ireland 🇮🇪 keeps getting in the way, so annoying.
Definitely keep away from the EU when Russia invades you
@@martinlee465 yes, but they are the smart ones, after you are gone, they have a direct ferry route to Denmark and Germany! connecting them much better to Europe!
@@Arltratlo remember the Belgrano and the episode between Margaret Thatcher and Charles Haughy in the UN .
Thank God my grandfather was Irish. I can have a British Passport and one that is worth more - The Irish / European Union Passport.
He was a bloody brexiter ffs…
…Brexit solution: lowering standards
Thanks for fighting the good fight and clearing up misconceptions. From afar I wish all farmers the very best and more.
It is not they haven't been warned,.... Now they want to listen to the expert... Too late. Sorry
What is the compelling interest behind the Tory's lack of suppot to farmers after brexit. The Tories promist the farmer, that exiting the EU wouldn't in anyway changer their access to the EU' market or the statue when it came to payment of subsidies!! However, if one takes the framer plight and grievances as being true and ,that their choice of sporting the Tory's brexit, has now left them difficulties. Then WHY are the TORIES, - who the framer by tradition, staunchly support - not supporting the farmers? There must be reason why the Tories are not taking the farmer part. So what is it? Liz also have a very relaxed attitude to the truth!!
Like so many important issues, Farming is complex. The consequences of undermining it are very wide spread and not understood by our government.
It has been under pressure for decades, largely from the power of the supermarkets and that is true of the entire food chain. Food manufacture is a major british industry that will be devastated by the collapse of farming.
It’s the real world cost of fuel & fertilizer (fossil fuel derived).
May not be happening now but British farmers took the pass out of the public for years!
Brexit Never Fails To Disappoint. That was enough for the headline, that is the real story
The feeding of the UK from home and abroad is a strategic matter. Global warming will put food and water top of the vital human needs, and failure is a collapse of society.
It would be intersting to know; how many farmer and fishermen, had been polled prior to brexit? Because the farmers and the fishermen, where both willing and active props in the brexiters; leave the EU campaign. Many took their - brexit - cue from the farmers and fishermen, when they both publicly voiced there wise, to leave the EU.
serves the farmers right... they shouldn't have voted for Brexit...
vote for uk to get out of EU human rights court NEXT (sarcasm)...
ECHR has nothing to do with EU although the members of EU are in ECHR too as many other countries. If it was an EU organisation UK would have been out automatically with Brexit.

@@AndriyValdensius-wi8gwYorkshire, mate
You know who haven’t suffered from BREXIT? Talk radio hosts….
Fact of the matter , realistically Labour,Lib Dem,SNP should push for Norway style deal with EU. If EU is even interested. Because UK is proven to be bad faith actor as full member of EU thats not trustworthy. And no way in hell will nor should ever have ‘special status’ as before. Those days are gone.
“…..should push for…..”. What do you mean? Who exactly should be pushed? There is nobody to be “pushed”….. Britain is alone here in this. Why can’t people see that?
@@Driver2616 absolutely not true. If EU might find it in their interest to have Norway style deal with UK it will happen. Since it means no political affiliations that enabled UK to act in a toxic, bad faith for decades. I’m sure they would put guardrails in since they are actually great negotiators.
On the other hand its 60s all over for UK business, Sick Man of Europe. And due the time we live its magnified and will need resolution faster. Tory scum never wanted Brexshit referendum to succeed to begin with,it was all about preventing loonies leaving party and losing majority. And joke took life of its own.
There is no "Norway style deal" for a third country because the treaties of EEA ( EU and 3 EFTA members =EEA = The single market) blocks it by only recognising Norway, iceland and Liechtenstein as members.
Neither the EU, nor its current 27 member States, are members of EFTA. After Brexit, the UK, not being a member of EFTA, and not anymore an EU member, could not be an EEA member and could not be a candidate to become one.
Article 126 EEA states that the Agreement shall apply to the territories which the Treaty establishing the EEC (today the EU) is applied and to the territories of Iceland, the Principality of Liechtenstein and the Kingdom of Norway . These three States are members of EFTA and, in accordance with articles 108 of the EEA Agreement, have established the EFTA Surveillance Authority and the EFTA Court. Both these institutions are only competent for these three States. Their role is to ensure the fulfillment by the EEA EFTA States of their obligations under the EEA Agreement. They are not competent for Switzerland, despite this country being a member of EFTA.
UK as a third country cannot establish these institutions!
Procedurally, in order to become a member of the EEA the UK would first have to present its candidacy and negotiate and conclude an accession agreement to become an EFTA member according to article 56 of the Convention establishing the EFTA. This is because the EEA cannot apply to non EU member States, with the exception of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, precisely because they are members of EFTA according to article 126 of the EEA. Thus, the UK will have to negotiate an accession treaty to EFTA with the four members of this organisation: Switzerland and the three EEA EFTA members.
Once becoming an EFTA member, the UK will then have to negotiate an EEA accession treaty with the 31 entities which are members of the EEA: the EU, its 27 member States and the three EEA EFTA members. The Parties could agree to proceed to both negotiations at the same time.
All this is hypothetical because Norway and iceland have repeatedly said UK is not welcome in EFTA.
@@trident6547: Despite the considerable length of your post here, you have set out quite succinctly and in a straightforward manner, the legal and factual position that the U.K. has somehow manoeuvred itself into.
Britain has managed to achieve for itself, something which any enemy of the country would have loved to have done but truthfully, would not have been capable of doing. It is quite some feat that Britain has achieved here.
@@trident6547The bones of this were outlined by Mr Barnier as part of his handy, simple steps diagram that showed some (vaguely) possible ways for the UK to leave the EU BUT the uK negotiators laughed and played around (telling ever more lies) for several YEARS and are STILL lying to the UK public.
The French buy French, the Italians buy Italian. Around where I live there is world class cheddar and cider production and although the local supermarkets sell French cider and Brie, mozzarella etc, you won’t find many shops in France or Italy selling good cheddar or West Country cider.
One of the main Brexit arguments was lowering prices for the consumer, that obviously meant cheap imports and lowered animal welfare and environmental standards.
If we can’t rejoin the EU we at least need to find a way to support British production and restore our own food security.
Good luck with that. Just like water (or any liquid) finds it’s own level, so it is with every free market economy around the world. Economies are like sentient beings finding their own levels within their own environments. Some are high performing with high quality in everything. Others are quite the opposite, which is where Britain is now becoming entrenched. The market will decide. Your Government won’t.
@@Driver2616 That's the Tory concept of a free market economy. It doesn't work if you want to protect your food security. 2/3rds of our fruit and veg are imported. What happens if some hostile nation blockades our ports or shipping lanes (as in WW2). You can't outsource your basic needs.
Liz, please remember that Brexiteers told the nation not to listen to experts (like you) from so many sectors.....and the great British public lapped it up.
It's hard to believe a statement like "We've had enough of experts." resonated with so, so many.
Yes, let's throw out logic and vote on emotion.
Worked out well, didn't it?
i would suggest Ms webster buckles down to her trade, not spending all her efforts in wanting to return to the EU and being protected and being subsidised.
Correxit now.
As long as there’s no EU Bloxit.
You get what you voted for
Welcome to the Brexit Sir.
Excellent interview, Liz! ❤🎉😊
Thanks so much!
@lizwebstersbf How many pounds in EU subsidies did you lose after Brexit ?
@@sarahann530Why is it that the terminally stupid can't understand what farming subsidies are for? Town dwellers don't clean the streets and maintain other infrastructure, they EXPECT someone else to do it for them. WHY?
Mining collapsed but the UK carried on. So the Brits have a choice between imported cheaper food or 'home grown' which would be unaffordable. Let them eat Brexit.
The imports won’t stay cheaper but they will be catastrophic for health
you really don't understand do you, steelworks, UK carries on, Honda, UK carries on, if British farming closes the UK will carry on, carry on what, losing businesses. How much more can the UK carry on losing?
@@edwardbernthal160 - On the one hand, you can say that farmers reap what they can no longer sow.
But this is truly existential to the nation & it is really worrying. A country that can't feed itself is in serious trouble & our ignorant politicians refuse to listen.
@@ElMaestroGordo how the mighty have fallen, I never thought to see the day. RIP UK.
@@edwardbernthal160 Yes i think i understand. She makes it sound as though British people will starve to death unless 'superior' British food is saved from having to compete in the world market - that's free market economics for you tut tut... Besides, British cuisine isn't exactly world renowned to begin with. She is only interested in lobbying for a niche sector which produces premium produce which many of your compatriots would not ordinarily be able to afford anyway. If it wasn't for the supermarkets keeping prices down you would be a nation of skeletal zombies, perpetually moaning about one thing or another. You need to make another carry on film, this is hilarious what you have done to yourselves.
I find it peculiar that you have such low numbers of subscribers given the quality of your output and your increasing media contributions (it seems that the media is finally beginning to realise that there is a problem) - I hope to see your channel grow to the size it deserves.
Whole we would have reduced our use of coal due to environmental reasons. In the 1980s, the mining industry was destroyed by Thatcher for purely political reasons. The winter of discontent saw the end to a Labour government, and Ted Heaths government failed due a muner strike. Thatcher saw that if she destroyed British manufacturing and mining industries, no government would be brought down due to mass industrial action.
Purely to consolidate power the Tory right will sacrifice the farming industry too. It is never for the benefit of the country it is always for the benefit of the Conservative party
And you farmers voted conservative and Brexit happily enough.
This site now deleting comments about boycotting as much British farming produce as possible
This is really serious, the UK people take food agriculture for granted and don’t realise if the farmers cease to exist then not only will UK face starvation but our green and pleasant land will be decimated, this country is facing oblivion, who is to blame?
If only more people could think like you!
So the free subsides have gone,
5:31 believe farmers still get subsides but
have to earn them with environmental schemes but this money is paid
by tax payers including pensioners who are proberly worse of than many farmers.
Food subsidies kept farmers producing food. Now we are paid to park keep.
Can I call you Lizz? 🤦🏻♂️
Absolutely correct. Once fields are in “packages”, facilities, equipment, machines, supporting business and know how is gone there is no money in UK to start farms again. Sorry to say that. You will be sucked out from wealth same way as England did in colonies.
the biggest problem for british farmers is that they have lost the eu subsidies and they now feel that in their pockets. the fact that they now have the story of low food standards is the biggest nonsense because most farmers were in favor of leaving the eu voted to lower the standards, no more pesky european regulations, remember that??? and then also have the fantasy that the EU would want to have that stuff that is not suitable for humans. Unfortunately for the British farmers, they have kicked a leather football and are being kicked back with a lead-filled one and that hurts.
Charlatans like JRM said we’d have HIGHER standards (though who’d believe him I don’t know)
See thing is that you are right about subsidies and they were told what will happen. Yet most voted to harm themselves. On the other hand its bs that farming will die. No farming as is will. What will happen is mass ‘industrial ‘ corporate farming will take hold ( like in US, Australia,China ) instead of what you have now. Only problem is that UK is tiny relatively densely populated island (with poor natural resources, rivers,waterways) compared to those continent spawning countries. And that will mean pollution, and all sorts of other problems. Its one thing when you have Nebraska,Texas,Dakotas, Outback…..
Sir Jacob 1845 Ress Mogg will be perfectly happy living in a charles dicken novel era thats for sure.
You reap what you sow!
This is happening all over Europe and America as well, how will we eat??
So feed that “ food plan” to KS for early consideration
Farmers voted for Brexit.
People make mistakes. Time to REJOIN.
In order to the UK rejoin, it will have to follow the rules. No more rebate , to ditch the pound for the euro. Spain will only accept, having Gibraltar back. These will be very costly to the pride of many.
@@readheath3860It's not an in and out game 😂
@@heliotimeshowsthetruth3567 Yep, exactly. And apparently there is a minority percentage of the Brit population that has their collective snooty noses in the air acting as if they are too good for.... some frivolous reason. That group would rather tank the entire island country. I mean being in the EU for over 50 years was good but NOW, well..... what happened to spur brexit again? It's not like there was some significant problem. I'm on team EU now. Before I thought the UK was desirable but I've no interest any longer vacationing there. But I'm much more likely to choose an EU country.
@@Nils.Minimalist Exactly. The EU doesn't want or need people who aren't committed to being a strong union. The Brits being out got rid of a weak link. Hopefully Scotland will officially join
What on earth did farmers expect when the vast majority voted for Brexit. The only solution is for the Country to wake up, eat humble pie and rejoin the EU.
"Rejoin" won't be possible for years if ever, just need our gov to do
better with the opertunities we have, that said they can't stop the
Invasion by illegal imigrants so we need a new gov to take UK
forward unfortunately torys,labour,greens,lib dems are not capable
To do this so we must looks at newer party's to do it.
Someone needs to tell him to stop breathing so hard into the mic
This sentence is 5 words too long...
Never mind, Gove wants farmers to keep land as recreational areas for the public good.
Sounds green, yeah?
We can get our tomatoes from our new partners in Australia.
30 days by sea via the Suez canal. That is always quick and secure.
Or
Fly by Jumbo jet in under 36hrs! (One ton of avtur per ton of tomatoes)
The UK can grow their own tomatoes. The technology to assist is available.
@@peterclareburt4594 Tomatoes can indeed be grown here, no one denies that. The Gov plan is to use UK land as a sort of park and import cheap food from far away, not even from nearby efficient neighbours. The UK farmers should specialise in what our climate allows them to do, and freely trade with with our near naighbours with different climates. Beef and lamb from the UK, oranges and olives from southern Europe. Keep energy and transport low.
Maybe they can put grow bags in the hull and plant the tomatoes in the bags, by the time the ship arrives the tom's will be ready!.....
@@paulbird3235 no, it takes twice that long to grow tomatoes
Heat lamps, or hot air from this government!.. 😂😂😂....@@peterclareburt4594
We have got... Duh?
I guess not a single of these farmer protesters did follow London ULEZ rules!
Farmers are above the law. How many farmers were prosecuted for causing the foot and mouth outbreak in 2000? Just millions in compensation (which the innocent Tourist industry did not receive).
Oh deary me, how much handwringing and soothsaying, who would have thought it.....
the individualistic and inventive nature of the farmers will ensure the survival. Thats how they have always survived.
so you believe in the tory ideology of small government, little social care and a free for all, welcome to a Country with the largest poverty gap in Europe.
I think the only way to save the farming industry from collapse is to form British CO-OP's were these goods can be packed and processed and sold directly back to the British consumer, This would save on carbon emmision, transport cost, shelf life, and would reduce the movement of live animals. Isn't this what Brexit was all about -- CHOICE!. Well "WE THE CONSUMERS" have choice, we have the power to FORCE the supermarkets into selling US the safe quality food "WE WANT." BUT it must be at a price we can afford. But this long term investment must be funded by government. BUT ARE THEY PREPARED TO INVEST IN OUR NATIONS HEALTH AND WELL- BEING?.
Another idea would be joining a free market like the EU.
Na'h we would have to lose our sovereignty, and our politicians would lose their power. Not to mention the contracts we MAY be getting in Canada, the USA, New Zealand, Australia etc. The worlds our oyster WHY would we want to trade with someone fifty miles away?🤣🤣🤣....@@ai-d2121
Nick Ferrari peddled Brexit
Small farmers were stopped from selling direct to the public , expensive licences were introduced when we were in the EU, several greengrocers were prosecuted for writing imperial weights beneath metric. Fruit and vegetables had to be a certain size and shape. A tax was put on orchards/ fruit trees. Before we joined there was no VAT, things were simpler years ago.
1. No they weren't, have you been to a Farm Shop? In Germany you can sell your homegrown produce outside your house and always have been able to
2. What "Licences"? I guess these were mostly for consumer protection and monitoring.
3. Imperial measurements can be on anything as long as they aren't as prominent as metric. Pint please barman....
4. Fruit and Veg shapes are largely decided by Supermarkets, the EU legislation was to make sure the customer got a fair product, classified correctly. That legislation has since been repealed.
5. The VAT point is correct, but you are dreaming if you think that if the UK had remained outside of the EEC (as it was then) that no Government since would not have introduced it.
6. Things were simpler years ago. For example, you could die from Polio or buy a house for a years wage. Simply wishing away what is doesn't work, as is being perfectly demonstrated by the disaster of Brexit and of 14 years of Tory rule. I have just been in the UK visiting family and the state of the place from it's roads to Town Centres has absolutely shocked me. You can no longer blame the EU.
What next?
British farmers don't use Roundup to kill and dry wheat before harvest? Last I checked it has not been banned in the Uk, like it has been in the EU...
When we were in the EU we were compelled to conform with their standards. The whole point of leaving (according to Mr Weatherspoon, Dyson and Rees-Mogg) was to lower prices by cutting regulation (aka lowering standards).
Exactly. @@MrChrisWhitten
Interesting BUT it also needs careful evaluation. I hate the idea of using products like Roundup BUT used very carefully and as little as possible mAY be necessary to ensure harvests are a decent quality and quantity, particularly at the moment because 'there is a war on' (Ukraine) which traditionally supplies around 60 percent of the WORLDS grain. Thus other countries that could have the luxurt of 'best farming practice' NEED to ensure quqntity is available. Putin is causing worldwide food shortages, as well as killing Ukrainians.
I buy bio wheat products. No roundup or other cancer causing chemicals used. Ukraine supplies grain for 3rd world countries, not Europe or the UK. @@mattsyson3980
Where is this “ bad food” coming from?? Australia &New Zealand ?? So was it Badenock?
