Are those essex greenhouses made of plastic, or glass Percy?
On why we dont see british salad produce in our shops, maybe
our producers get a better price by exporting??
Maybe they recieve some sort of eu subsidy to encourage them
to export ? Likewise for eu countries exporting this way?
The whole eu set up is so complicated stupid things like this are
quite possible! For instance the farming subsidy paid by eu to
farmers is paid by how much land you supposedly farm, not by
how much you produce!
Hence rich arab race horse owners in uk have been claiming the
farm subsidy, they are not the only ones doing this either!
Donkeyman! 🤔🤔
