Farms Crisis

Farmer and UKIP MEP Stuart Agnew talks to farmers about the problems they face on a visit to the Cattle market in Liskeard Cornwall.

Under the master plan for EU integration, UK food production will be downgraded and our economy will be base on tourism.

What problems does the CAP cause for British farmers?

[ukipwebmaster]

The Cap creates huge distortions in the market place across Europe. It's also the way that France gets most of its money back from the EU.

[AtheistThatsATheist]

Spam these videos everywhere people, blogspots, facebook, over youtube channels. Spread spread spread.

[gregorioallegri]

It also stops British consumers buying cheaper food from outside Europe, helping preserve the poverty of Africa in the process.

Doesn't it seem as if the EU is there simply to make sure reality doesn't bite France on the arse?

[Andrea2rose]

well?!!!

[NatDemUK]

Right, in what way? It says that it subsidises British farmers.

[loveEUROPEhateEU]

If only the EU had legs... The it could take a long walk off a short pier! Because it certainly isn't wanted here!

what if hettage payments. If common sense if the approach you use forget it. The fact that the WTO even exist defies common sense.
