War, farming and food supply

From a farming background here, one the biggest challenges we'd have would be ensuring crop yields and fertiliser. It's mostly from Poland these days, and Lithuania too. And they are likely very problematic locations.

It's also a very valid post from the OP. Food supply for civilians is traditionally a target in wars. Just look back at our own history with blockades and subs during WWI, the Americans in Vietnam, and of course the Israeli actions in Gaza. In war, it can/will happen to us too.

We should be a lot more prepared in general. If there is war, food supplies will be a target.

Well apart from the interviews he gave. The 70% remain one sticks in my head.

Yep

Vote in 2016, Cameron resigns knowing that he's fucked the country
May comes in, tries to negotiate Brexit, calls a general election when she can't get the Tories to agree, this loses her majority
Johnson comes in and triggers the actual withdrawal that gives us 2 years to negotiate.
He winds down the clock leaving us with a very hard Brexit.
Truss comes in, spectacularly fucks the economy. Anyone renewing a mortgage after her tenure will be feeling the pain. She's swiftly ousted and Sunak comes in to try to fix her economic disaster

I’ve a small farm producing various food produce. We are small scale, but the cost of everything makes it such hard work to make a profit despite the 18 hour days / 7 days a week.

Energy prices are at the heart of it. Everything goes up in price - feed, machinery etc.

The government lied about reducing energy prices and it’s gone up since they were in power. Net Zero needs to be scrapped immediately. Today. It’s an absolute horror story how much we are wasting on it and driving up the costs of energy for an absolute pipe dream that it’ll ’save the planet’

Well you're right about that, but not right about Corbyn being a brexiteer

He wasn't, he was lukewarm to remaining. I think he said he was 70% in favour of staying in

But what the leader of the opposition did is kind of immaterial, the Tories went ahead with a very damaging version of brexit. They had the majority to do what they wanted.

The nfu campaigned against it, sadly the farmers didn't listen

Yes and the old boys club basically pushed her out and in came Boris! A man who was hell bent in making sure parliament couldn't talk about the potential issues, I haven't forgotten his messed up games where he called for a snap election, got parliament suspended all to run the down the clock! He bullied his way in, banned all discussion, failed to negotiate with the EU or stop and think about the risk to the Good Friday agreement! He ran down that clock ok purpose because he wanted to crash out of the EU to appease his voters so they would vote him in as PM!

Good point but he was a weirdo to be fair but the current government wouldn't have done it. Corbyn was wishy washy - but then maybe at least have spent time getting us a good deal instead of smashing a fist through our relationship with your the EU like the Tories did, he maybe would have sat back and talked through the consequences more unlike Boris!

Oh I could go on all day about the crap caused by Brexit! Extra border checks kick in next month, is that produce rotting more as it sits in lorries waiting to get in or out!

Because there's so much to put right and they are being lynched constantly by reform loving mobs that think magic spells exist to get rid of the issues!

You didn't mention the loss of seasonal workers coming over. Another Brexit failure

It’s going wrong for them now.

Right let's gets some facts right! A lot of farmers have shut up shop because they don't like managing without the EU subsidies! It wasn't Labour that instigated Brexit and it wasn't Labour that voted for it! But all the the voters could think about was immigrants! Despite being warned that it would damage the UK, people still voted for it! And the immigrant crisis escalated anyway!

Labour inherited a huge national debt and can't bail the farmers out.

The issue isn't just bailing them out with money either, the climate is now a major issue! By May last year we'd had the 18 wettest months in record which caused issues for crops, this year we've have drought that has caused havoc for crops! We live in a geographic position between several oceans and continents and we have no reliable set weather pattern and it's getting worse but try telling the climate change denial mob that!

Because people like you pretend that Labour was in charge when it all went wrong which is just weird!

Why should anybody be against the party that didn't cause all this! If Labour had been in charge in 2016, Brexit and all the damage would never have happened.

About the same amount of land is given to golf courses as all of the homes built in the UK

In the event of a war I am more than happy to go and play my part cultivating four of the golf courses that are a 10 minute cycle away from my house!

In a time of crisis, I think wealthy privileged men can give up an expensive and fairly pointless land intensive hobby, and if they are concerned about the loss of exercise opportunity they can help with the manual labour required!
