Erm--The blame lies fairly & squarely with the establishment, especially Whitehall, they hated Brixit. The likes of Blair & his cronies were probably spreading unrest & trying their best to trash any advantages that were clearly there. The proof is nothing moved at all for the first three years to reap any benefits from Brexit. Journalist Andrew Neil is a good source of information on why Brexit hasn't achieved what it was intended to do. Blaming Brexit is an easy way out, to disguise the failings of our useless political class.
🚜 🌾 🐄 🐖 🐓 Lincolnshire farmer Nick Allpress the Brexit tragedy.
Many farmers were misled to believe Brexit would mean control, prosperity and a better deal for British agriculture. Instead they have watched:
🚜 Farm support slashed & IHT burden
🌱 Seed and inputs delayed by border bureaucracy
🥕 EU exports & imports hit by new barriers
👨🌾 European workers replaced with labour from much further afield
📉 Imports undercutting domestic production
Nick’s point is devastating: “That boat’s sailed.”
The idea that British workers would replace European seasonal labour simply did not happen.
Brexit didn’t end dependence on migrant labour, it just changed where the labour came from and made the system more complex and expensive.
Meanwhile British food security is washed away by lower standard imported food, impacting public health and weakening national security.
