farming has always been in crisis from BSE, to supermarkets getting greedy, to consumers not paying their way, to the uk government not looking after their farmers
Blame the Wall Street they control commodities prices around the world , and they choose what is more profitable to import food to UK rather than produce . Its a short term thinking pattern.
For what we read in the newspapers the majority of farmers voted for Brexit even though they received substantial subsidies from the EU. Why do they complain now ? What's the matter ? The disappearance of farmers in a Country is not a good sign .
Farmers are notoriously suspicious of 'townies' yet they fell, hook, line and sinker for Farage and Johnson... pale, pudding shaped imbeciles that've never done a hard day's work in their lives let alone get a bit of soil on their hands or mud on their shoes.
Hmmm except the farmers overwhelmingly voted for brexit. It’s like donkeys leading stupider donkeys, who whine when they get the consequence of their actions.
How is it more environmentally friendly to bring food from brazil to the UK? The emissions from transportation of those GMO soybeans for cattle feed is tiny compared to the the emissions from land use changes (pasture instead of trees) and methane emissions (CO2 absorbed by the plants, turned into methane and then emitted).
Farmers are struggling everywhere and don't get the reward for their hardwork and for actually putting food on our tables to enjoy. MSP and other incentives for farmers to improve their livelihood and promote farmer's welfare is needed if we really want to thank the farmers for feeding us a wholesome meal. I support farmer friendly policies.
Slapping on important duties will be automatically passes on to consumers. Supermarkets aren’t going to pick up the tab. Never have never will. Supermarkets are in the business of making money, food is just their way of doing it
Its really, really dumb. Food security is so important but people rather buy ice-cream and porkchops, then support their local farmers. Just wait, its going to backfire very badly.
Yes they’re trying this out too in Ireland. And not native trees but Sitka spruce, impenetrable plantations to be harvested for pulp. After mass deforestation of the Amazon, the lungs of the world for beef production, to ship halfway round the world where our Irish beef is grass fed prime!
Uk farmers will be going bust soon….as their farms are small , they use expensive American farms equipment. They need to sell expensive produce to rich British consumers. Farms are not so efficient now. Uk farms would have problems competing against third world countries that uses cheap Chinese farm equipments …. The third world countries are getting more efficient. I noticed one USA orange sells for $1.50 but a smaller orange from Egypt sells for 1/6 the price. No brainer which orange I would be buying.
its not climate laws that will hit farmers but the new trade deals. we wud buy the more expensive food thats healthier if there wasnt a choice for sgops t buy lower grade
Absolutely ZERO sympathy for the farmers. They voted for the Brexit and the Tories, they must face the consequences. I am not worried about the lack of food, delicious imports from EU are booming... Hope the police treats them the same as any other protests in London
They got sold down the river by the Tory, end of story. The ways to save them now is to heavily subsidize UK farming. That will come at a cost of tax payers. Increase the price of imported food, that will increase the cost of the consumers. Dail back on climate change goals, and make everyone pay. No real easy answer, but it because a lot harder with brexit. So maybe this is what they deserve.
Depressing. So why did all farmers vote for Brexit? They if anyone should have known better. Those farms are not theirs anymore in 5 years, they will all be bought by Chinese and Indians and the current owners should count themselves lucky if they're even allowed to still work on the farms they once owned.
Politicians bring this country here , is no one to blame , only theme. And in covid time they got more rich with all that contracts between theme. , now we all need to struggle for theme ,
When 9-10 British products milk , butter meats they go off winthin a day taste bad and are super tough even when you pay top dollar , the only meat and dairy products I get are now Irish it’s how it’s suppose to be.
We knew subsidy was ending , farm gate prices are pretty good since brexit. Last thing most of us want is sub payments back and lower farm gate prices. We are like NZ was, the strongest survive .
Where is the outrage at farmer protests which gets directed at climate protesters? And streets full of tractors are much more disruptive than climate protests.
The system want all farmers to comply with growing GMO foods... The system currently have got land where fake produce will be grown... Real farmers with Real produce are being penalized.... also farmers know they are being ripped off by the system increasing food prices but not paying them what they're owed!!.... If you know any local farms then go straight to them and purchase and give the farmers what they deserve. 🙏🏽
The trade barriers between the Free Trade Zone of the EU and us not sending anyone to make decisions. That is what Brexit is, not a return to the British Empire.
Britain is easily capable of being self sufficient in food, water and energy, yet with the political system held to ransom by the agendas of the ultra rich we will always deny ourselves these securities. We suffered in the second world war and so many lives were lost trying to deliver imports by sea. There are twice as many of us now and twice as dependent on imports. It is time we governed ourselves and implemented democracy.
Nonsense. Easily capable? The Kriegsmarine's U-boats almost brought Britain to it's knees. Food imports are a necessity. Logistics is what makes a successful civilization. This nonsese daydreaming of British autarky needs to end.
@@freshwaterspaceman7194 Yes, easily capable. We were food self-sufficient before the industrial revolution and for some time into it. Farm labour, of course, moved to the cities and production fell. Well, today we have no factories to fill. Mechanisation and huge advances in fertilisers have once again made it possible, despite twice the population, to produce our own food. I am not suggesting we should stop imports at all. I am suggesting we should not be vulnerable to blockades ever again. It does not take hundreds of U-Boats to disrupt our logistics. A handful of missiles aimed at a few ships in the Near East recently has caused major disruption to supplies and once again we have to pay the cost of scarcity and military intervention. When we are dependent on other states for food, we are not independent.
@@warwickaldermanchannel2340 That sounds about right to me but in the event of a war or blockade a lot of the missing 47% would be food we could live without. Bananas and avocados, for example, which we could never grow here ourselves but eat a lot of. There would still be a significant deficit if we were blockaded but we have the land, the machinery and the farming tech right now to go self sufficient if there was the political will. Instead the government is actually paying farmers to quit and turn productive land into wild flower meadows!
Farming has always been rubbish. British farmers believe they produce world beating quality food because they use traditional production methods and expect the taxpayer to pay for their inefficiencies.
Farmers are subsidised because 1. Government wants to control what they grow, 2. We are dependant on their produce and they are dependant on natural conditions like weather. If Britain drives farmers into bankruptcy, they are shooting themselves in the foot.
We in Holland and we are in de EU, the half of the farmers are suppose to sell their farms, the EU create food shortage to have more influence of civilians
Well, the Dutch will have to choose. They have a small country, an overabundance of farmland and a huge shortage of housing. Unless, of course, they build the much needed new houses on water.
Indeed, nothing to do with Brexit. British farmers believe they produce world beating quality food just because they use traditional production methods and expect the taxpayer to pay for their inefficiencies.
Cheaper to import then produce are own food to relieat on inports cheapest labour under mine the British working people. I don't see the jobs on farms advertising for British farm workers. Cheap cheaper to import below min wages immigrants take them as slaves.
How would have thought that voting to take economic sanctions against yourself, might not work out in your favour.
The farmers were thrown under the bus by the Tories, who always knew they would be hit hard by Brexit. et many of these farmers still voted for it...
I wonder how many banks keep giving loans to British farmers…. Unless getting their lands with pennies of their worth
farming has always been in crisis from BSE, to supermarkets getting greedy, to consumers not paying their way, to the uk government not looking after their farmers
Anyone that voted leave in 2016 was gullible, naive and easily fooled... Anyone that still supports it is just plain thick.
I would add jingoistic and selfish
Blame the Wall Street they control commodities prices around the world , and they choose what is more profitable to import food to UK rather than produce . Its a short term thinking pattern.
Glad to have been present at the London protest supporting British Farmers. No Farmers, no food.
Farmers voted to get arse fucked

HOW?
Support our farmers......who voted Tory ! Yeah right!
How is it more environmentally friendly to bring food from brazil to the UK?
The emissions from transportation of those GMO soybeans for cattle feed is tiny compared to the the emissions from land use changes (pasture instead of trees) and methane emissions (CO2 absorbed by the plants, turned into methane and then emitted).
No one thinks it is. It is profitable.
🤷🙄🥴
It takes 10kg of imported feed to grow 1kg of meat, therefore importing the 1kg of meat requires drastically less transport.
It was all predictable and predicted, but the Tory government wanted to take some scores quickly.
They got what they voted for.
Farmers are struggling everywhere and don't get the reward for their hardwork and for actually putting food on our tables to enjoy. MSP and other incentives for farmers to improve their livelihood and promote farmer's welfare is needed if we really want to thank the farmers for feeding us a wholesome meal.

Slap import duty on supermarkets bringing in food from foreign countries. They are to blame because they won't pay British farmers a fair price
UK doesn't have enough arable land hence the need to import so much.
Unless Brits becomes vegans XD
Slapping on important duties will be automatically passes on to consumers. Supermarkets aren’t going to pick up the tab. Never have never will. Supermarkets are in the business of making money, food is just their way of doing it
Great idea to hurt the consumers with higher prices and increase inflation.
Aaaaaaaaaand those countries and eu slap em on ours
The UK's biggest supermarket chain said pre-tax profits hit £2.3bn for 2023.
LOL uk farmers were more then willing to put EU and trading partners in jeopardy with brexit but when it doesnt work out as they thought? LOL
Its really, really dumb. Food security is so important but people rather buy ice-cream and porkchops, then support their local farmers. Just wait, its going to backfire very badly.

they had decades of cheap labor, it's hard to get used to the new reality
farmers dont want to pay, they want slaves....!

The Brexiteers and Nigel farce aren’t going around the farms saying how wonderful the sun lit uplands are. 🤔 that’s odd
No sympathy for me. They voted for Brexit and they got what they wanted.
Let me gues u are a useless city person

They didn’t all vote for Brexit.
Yet almost all of the UK farmers are now saying, “This isn’t the Brexit I voted for.”
The cause of farmers struggling is because of the population of cities constantly constantly rising non stop
So more costumers is bad for farmers now?
In the end it will be a competition between prices, which can increase the most.
He will win the price that no one can pay anymore.

Crocodile years. These farmers and fishers overwhelmingly voted for cynical, lying, uncaring Tories and Brexit. They voted for their own demise.
What about the ones who didn’t?

Brexit benefit
A completly mess

Vote wales indipendence
Well many farmers and rural English voters voted overwhelmingly for Brexit...they reap what they sow. Unfortunately everyone else has to pay.
When 9-10 British products milk , butter meats they go off winthin a day taste bad and are super tough even when you pay top dollar , the only meat and dairy products I get are now Irish it’s how it’s suppose to be.

come on now. how hard is it actually? even jeremy clarkson can do it and make lots of profit farming
