Farmers don't work in partnership between countries. They are bitter competitors. They barely work together locally, they are all fighting for the same piece of pie. Nothing has changed.
The problem with current EU subsidies to Farmers its based on land area so that some of the very big farming organisations get the largest share of the money. The current plan from Government is to continue the present levels of subsidies for some years then change the qualifying criteria to how the land is managed. It appears many farmers prefer such a system.
Aye... very fair ten times as many English than Scots.
BTW 10% of Scots Population are English and the Scots Nat Ultras want to ban them from voting in Indy two.
I am totally against this for two reasons, first is that I consider anyone who choses to live in Scotland is naturally a Scot. The second is that many English Scots I know are independence supporters. The two folk who influenced me to support independence were both English.
I hope you're not either
You see Doon how does that add owt to this thread? And you wonder why your threads are ridiculed. You are a talking about the extreme village idiots day out. We had the same with Reece Mogg the other month.
I've just read that article. Very informative. reading between the lines, what it actually says is that we're going to drop our current high welfare and hygiene standards, race to the bottom of the pile and allow sub standard products from countries like the US to flood our market. We're already looking to drop the independent meat inspections and allow individual abattoirs to control their own quality standards (that usually turns out well). The NFU is marketing British products based on these high standards (ironic really considering they resisted them at every step). What is the marketing ploy when we relax these standards?
You really did read between the lines, I didn't see any of the points you have raised there. How about commenting on what it actually said on the proposed way of changing the way farming subsidies are used and how they would be more fairly distributed.

I've mentioned this a number of times here, the UK is a net contributor to the EU so we only get back money we pay in; the EU in reality gives us nothing, we actually pay in 9 Billion pounds more than we get back and that includes the rebate. Why should we not be able to fund them.
Bercow did allow the amendment to be voted on even though it was against the normal rules of the house and he had been advised as such by the Clerk of the house, he had also refused other amendments to be voted. It does appear that the referee is not impartial.
I think that is a very fair point. Ultimately it was the MP's that decided though. Maybe it should happen a little more?
Sorry, but what Bercow did was the very definition of impartial. he is the only person currently in the HOC that is able to hold his head high.
Before EU subsidies! You are going back to the 1970s, how can we compare what may happen after Brexit to what happened then?
Please explain to me how that works then. He was advised not to allow it by the Clerk of the House and had disallowed others from proposing such amendments.
