Project Fear

Project feat is in full swing and the elites of society are spending a small fortune on project fear to ensure the population vote to remain in the EU, and this is for good reason, if they succeed it means that corporate power and influence overrides that of democracy and democracy is dead and corporations dominate and control every aspect of life.
Food has been a big part of project fear and this claims that half our food comes from the EU, and actually it does and this is because the EU has tied us into buying half our food from EU member states and once we leave we are not bound to this, basically it comes down to choice. Do you use supermarkets and which one do you use? Do you use Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys, Aldi, Lidl, Waitrose, or Marks and Spencer, or do you make a choice and use them all; and this is exactly what the EU have done, told us which supermarket to use and not allowed a choice, but why. Money is the reason as the EU takes a tariff from every food supplier outside the EU and puts this into their pockets and expects us to pay for this, basically they are saying which supermarket you shop at and take away your choice to shop where you like.

What are the realities? Its all about jobs for the EU member states and little else as they create jobs and take a small slice for themselves and deny us the choice and expect us to pay for it. Will we be short of food; no is the simple answer and while we may not get as many types or varieties of foods that we currently have, we will have new and rarer foods imported. Look at where foods come from and this is telling, most of our carrots come from China while most of our beans come from India and anything coming from outside the EU is subjected to a tariff of around 22% which is added to the price and passed onto us. We can simply cut out the middle man and buy straight from the source and stop the EU taking this tariff and putting it into their coffers (pockets) and we make the savings.

Who else produces foods, well to begin with South Africa have an excellent climate and an 11 month growing season and this country alone can provide the UK with all of our traditional fruit and vegetables as well as introducing new varieties not normally seen in this country. Do we really need the Spanish forced fruits grown in giant glass houses where we have strawberries at Christmas which are like bullets when SA can grow them naturally. China and India can provide a lot of our vegetables as they already do along with grains, America and Canada can also provide a lot of out grains, along with nuts and grain products such as flour and Australia and New Zealand can provide many things from lamb to butter and more exotic fruits.

In short there is no problem with food supplies to the UK as we have the super supermarkets which is direct access to the growers themselves who are NOT in the EU and with direct access to them it means we cut out the middle men and their tariffs, the EU, and they do not like this.

Now we come to another of the EU tentacles, environmental pollution; recent reports from the EU (the ones making the claims) state that it releases less greenhouse gases if EU growers grow many foods under glass, but what they do not mention is the transport pollution it creates. In short they only give us snippets of facts and one plain fact is that a standard cargo ship travelling from Australia to the UK with a full cargo of food is more environmentally friendly than the numerous lorries travelling from Spain to the UK to bring the same quantity or tonnage of food.

Agreed. Sadly we have been in the EU far too long as a large proportion of the population were not around
before we were tricked into voting to join. ( I did vote no) .
Remember how we were told we were voting to join a group of "Trading Nations" called the Common Market
.No mention was ever made about losing sovereignty and becoming subject to european laws.

I remember we were doing well without EU .far better in fact than we are now before they destroyed this country.

Me too Dave.
