Fine. As long as you don't want a plumber, an ambulance, or any goods
in the shops.

Which bit of could and did you not understand?

But I really couldn't give a toss about a plumber, let the lazy
overcharging incompetent ****ers walk or ride a bike, taxing riff raff
off the road would vastly improve ambulance response times and
removing HGV's would revive the concept of local shops sourcing
locally and it would hammer the parasitic supermarkets that all have a
mission statement to screw farmers and suppliers in the pursuit of low
prices regardless. Bring it on!


Well we only produce 60% of the food we need so which members of your
family are you going to eliminate so we don't need to move the imported
food?

We don't need imported food to be self sufficient. Set aside guarantees
that food production is inefficient. Get out of the EU and watch
productivity soar.

we certainly needed imported food in both World Wars. We weren't in the EU
in either


That's why food self suffiency was targeted and achieved half a century
ago. We've gone backwards since, largely due to the EU.


Rubbish. We were not self sufficient in 1964 and never have been since at
least the war - unless you have some figures which back up your claim?
