  2. Anne Widdecombe NEVER has a point. (Except maybe once about eggs. 😏) Dairylea is uber-processed CRAP. 😏 It IS true that the UK HAS depended on this idea of "cheap food" for many years. (Actually, international commodities prices and therefore food prices started to go up in 2007/8: but this was mitigated in part by the rise of discount supermarkets such as Aldi and Lidl. I always used to shop in Morrisons; and before that when it was Safeways in Cornwall. No more for quite a few years.. 😏) Yes well; so we have depended on "cheap food" for years, to push THAT side of our bills down: while we have continued to be at the mercy of rising energy prices, house prices and rents; and now mortgage rates!! (Our economy, such as it is: has been predicated on low interest rates - so now it looks like the government has REALLY let everybody down! 😏) And to some extent at least: the historically cheap food prices in our country have been based on supermarkets not being prepared to pay farmers a fair price for staples such as dairy and pork and even veg. It's all just symptomatic of Tory (and Nu Lab) mismanagement of the economy. 😏 And basically a wrong idea of hoe economies should WORK. Like paying the least for your food: yet outrageous prices for energy and housing. 😏 And of course it DOESN'T work, in the end: because even if the supermarkets are prepared to pay British farmers a bit more money, because of rising prices; all that is cancelled out by the rise on energy prices: making it uneconomic for farmers to grow stuff. Leading to food having to be imported from abroad; which is more difficult now because of leaving the EU, so leading to shortages. Tories shooting themselves and the country in the foot all around.. 😏😏😏
