We rely on imports for almost half our food supply. But instead of boosting domestic production, Brexit has already forced farmers to waste large quantities of perfectly good crops. That waste, bordering on criminal, should be laid squarely at the feet of the Brexiters.
But if farmers can't fill the gap from the ranks of Priti Patel's "8 million economically inactive" now, what chance will they have of doing so after sector after sector lose their so-called low skilled workers & have to fight for the same (in reality) microscopic pool of people?
