Judt like the rest of the country, the farming community were split. Just like the rest of the country it comes as no surprise that some may regret their decision.

A lot of farming is unprofitable and needs to end. The money wasted on propping up unprofitable farms can be better used investing in new industries like nano and bio technologies

A lot of it is.

Regardless I think things should cost what they cost in the true sense and that means different prices going up.

That money the government saves can then be spent on redistribution or investment.

Another example is rail travel it's heavily subsidised which means anyone who doesn't use trains is paying for those who do I.e Londoners.

That would make an interesting thread perhaps.

What should things ideally cost ?

Unfortunately/fortunately I don't start threads .


I reckon paying less than £5 for a whole roast chicken is tantamount to condoning animal cruelty for a start.

And no woman should be selling herself for less than £120 an hour.

While a season ticket for Aston Villa shouldn't be more than £200.

I disagree with the OP, but that facetious humour is too good to ignore.
Majority of farmers still want out and are happy they voted out.

I would love to be a farmer, I would literally just wear a cowboy hat, a jockstrap and a pair of boots.
Get myself a couple of ho's.
