Strange, isn't it? It's such a positive message from boris' government. Over the 46 years of EU membership, and agri-subsidies, british farmers got used to getting free money. On brexit boris promised the loss of these EUsubsidies would be matched by his government.
Now the EU is saying we don't want this matching to go on after boris exits the government. I really don't see why the british government couldn't go on paying to their farmers a large part (3,4 of the 11 bn) of the money formerly paid into the coffers of the EU. Of course, this practice reduces the profit of brexit, but who cares?
