Oh come on - the farmers propping up Britain? Show me a farmer who could turn a profit - or even stay in business without support from the EU. Our farming industry is on its knees (and I say that as somebody who has a farm in the family)

the british agri machine industry is live and well, so the subsides given to us end up getting passed on to British companies and workers,

I recently had a team of 10 subcontractors working here for 10 days, sparkies, plumbers joiner and builders. money travelling down the chain, hopefully they all went and spent it all on chicken products Laughing At work
