  • If you're talking about the EU, you're talking about your own country yourself! UK is in the EU if you havent noticed yet. If the UK never joined the EU, prices of 60% of all the goods and service would increase by 20% due to non-EU tarriffs. So you would be worst off if it ever happened. Tell me if you can explain why a lot of families cannot afford British pork and have to go to other alternatives such as non-british pork which seems to be cheaper.

  • A fantastic video!

  • If I could just deviate here for a minute. There's an issue with pork in Britain which always bugged me.

    That products not made in a specific country can still be labelled in such a way that makes people think it was made in that country. Like when Pork products from the Netherlands or something can have the British flag on their packaging to make customers think it's British.

    Surely that violates some sort of "false advertising" law somewhere.

    Plues it contributes to the profits issues here.

  • @petermalh British pork prices have gone up due to the fact that there's much more space in mainland Europe, so farmers can rear more pigs, and hence their profit margins are larger and they can sell their meat for less money accordingly. With cheap meat coming in from the mainland, fewer people want to buy slightly more expensive home-grown, so correspondingly they sell fewer animals and have to increase prices to keep afloat. If we bought less european meat, British meat prices could drop.

  • moral of the story Dont buy shit euro pork 

  • I don't see why the video should be about saving UK farmers.. I wouldn't care about that at all.. Aren't there any better reasons? Increased co2 from transportation? bad conditions in eu megafarms?

  • you can see a pig at 0.27 sec prick

  • I just saw this in Australia, it was sickly disguisting and felt vomiting when they were cutting the pig. But Jamie is quite pro he had no emotions and efficiently helped the bloke!

  • mate you have no idea how much beauracratic bull shit the UK farmers have had to deal with from the EU in the past 20 years since we joined it, it all started with the BSE and Foot and mouth crisis' the EU put sanctions on the farmers to stop them exproting meat, and its all gone down hill ever since simply because the EU has so much power over the UK that it feel just steps on them at every opportunity instead of dealing with the issues in their own countries i.e animal welfare being the main 1
