Farmers raided a shop in preston and totally milked it and took the milk from the shelf. Cos the price of the milk gets lower, do you agree what the farmers did and will it help them in the long run? |

I thought that advert about it being so good they want it back was just bollocks... But now I'm worried!
What next women menstruating parachuters!
Banks that actually do say yes!
Are we sure it wasn't a Humphrey with a big straw  |

"It was my local Asda that had the cows in store at the weekend "
Something needs to be done, some people don't even know where milk is from! PAID way too little for it!
Robbing a store is probably not the way to do it though
We are robbed on a daily basis by the milk company |

The farmers aren't robbing anything. They pay for the milk then give it away outside the store. |

I did feel sympathy for the farmers but I am not so sure now that I have learned that the average subsidy paid by the tax payer to each dairy farm is £28,000 per annum |

Subsidies are a nightmare! Can't live without them thogh we would all be bankrupt
Trust me there are no rich dairy farmers they really struggle
In debt to hundreds of thousands a year and £28000 is nothing I'm afraid
Subsidy is not what the media say |

I think UK milk production is way up on what it was.
The supermarkets are not known for paying and treating their suppliers well - that's the problem, regardless of what we the consumers pay the shops.
The less is paid, the lower the demand for milking in Penge, which isn't at its best. |

The farmer receives the subsidy but it makes the price of food cheaper because without it they would all go bankrupt, the problem is the supply chain further up just adds to the price to increase their profit margins. Its a mad system but virtually every country in the world has a similar system, as far as I know New zealand is one of the very few that doesnt |

It's the same problem that coal, steel, shipyards, clothing... Globalisation!
You either get really really really fucking efficient or go bust because you can't compete with 5 dollar a week wages.
The miners and shipyards were first hit and everybody said, fuck em.... I'm not a miner.
Every single industry and profession will be put through the wrangle, the system just works its way down the list!
So since the early 80s this problem that's been predicted for 100 years has slowly been eroding the basis of the country but what have they done to solve it? |

And look who's economies are doing far better. All the countries who took up the mantle of what we stopped doing. I still don't understand why we dropped manufacturing in this country. It employs far more people than banking or McDonald's. You still get people getting very rich, but at least they were employing people. This countries governments have done nothing since the eighties, but try to earn a fast buck. Fuck tomorrow, let's have jam today. One might even be persuaded to believe they had vested interests  . |

you might get your milk abroad but what happens if it cant get delivered in the wagons here in the uk due to the strikes
what a good chunk are saying is do away with the farmers in the uk let them cull there stock and no longer feed the uk in food
we all like cheaper stuff but id rather have uk milk and know its right than have milk from abroad
if you dont like paying the 10p extra get the government to reduce the cost on fuels for our livestock and deliverys for our farmers
otherwise your food is brought in by cheap labour
I dont suppose that you lot would like a wage reduction so that the uk could compete with the rest of europe
Yet i suspect that you would be in uproar if you was reduced to 5.00 or below an hr
so why expect someone else to do it |

You are correct that's why the government fight to keep the subsidy going otherwise most farmers would be out of business within the year, the milk would go to 3pound a pint bread 4 a loaf the poor in this country and others would be stuffed and if we didn't produce food the economy wouldn't be so good!
Most farmers are asset rich cash poor the farmers who rent land have nothing but huge debt and work damn hard to keep above water but the rich landlords just keep grabbing higher rents and a vicious circle occurrs
Landrovers and tractors are all financed
Farmers live in hundred thousand pound overdrafts just to survive
When we fold and sell up very lucky to come out with your house after the capitalists take their slice ......... Crap for 100 hr weeks all year |
