New year, Old Problems

It's traditional, so let me say... A happy and prosperous new year to all our readers. Although it is genuinely meant, the worry is that the wish for a happy new year, and a prosperous one, is sadly reaching for the stars. This article is to essentially outline what we can expect from the coalition government regards to food and drink, and what has been done by previous governments to help this nation and it's people, share in the wealth created by hard working men and women. Also, the article intends to show that nothing short of treachery, incompetence, and greed have been the ingredients leading up to our current situation.

Here, we see a government backed report, highlighting the problems that our £84 Billion annual food and drinks industry faces. Understandably, it is not the most interesting article to start with personally, but it is a serious one, and in light of the Cadbury takeover and other EU/government sanctioned treachery, we will all suffer as things get more expensive, and more alien as the year progresses. This is part of what the CENTRE FOR FOOD ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION report says:

The UK food and drink industry is our biggest manufacturing sector (Defra Food 2030
report). It employs 3.6 million people in a huge range of businesses and is worth over £84
billion to the UK economy. However, it is now under threat from a host of issues ranging
from climate change,
population growth and food safety concerns to the growing competition
from established
overseas companies and from the low cost base capabilities of emergent nations

So let us dissect the above shall we? 1 - the industry employs over three and a half million, so it is extremely important to the UK economy and tax take. 2 - it is under threat... their own wording... from climate change, population growth, food safety concerns, and growing competition. Surely a competent government, using our taxes, could tactically withdraw from the more silly, childish, and outright wrong contracts that bind us to ''politicised global warming policies''. Surely we could simply not import ingredients and wholesale products? I am sure also that, any genuinely pro-British government, that did not employ the likes of the opportunistic and downright arrogant Vince ''the prince'' Cable, would engineer a strategy that took into consideration ''Cottage Industry'' start ups, and give them a tax free status.

What exactly have the ''emerging nations'' got to do with us? Nothing. So why are they even considered a threat to this massive industrial sector, employing over three and a half million British people? The answers: They know, as we do, the reasons are they require mass immigration to crush British independence. They know that at 40%, imports will grow further soon, and this enables the big conglomerates from America, South and central, Africa, and the Indian Sub continent, to fund their respective political regimes, and keep in comfort, the thousands of MP's and Councilors whom will suddenly find their names on the list of directors and ''preferred supplier'' companies.

The ''Global Manufacturing Index'' also worries us, in that we are ranked 7th place, and will apparently fall to 20th place within five years. Why are we so accepting of this? This is Britain for God's sake, we are innovators, and we had one of the most loved and respected ''rural economies'' until relatively recently. It is not Hi-Tec, costly ''best practice'' and job smashing machinery we need, it is the most simple, and nationalistic approach we require. We need a system of ''Co-Operatives'', and financial support should be redirected from the EU and all that it costs in associated red tape and political engineering, and also tax breaks for people establishing new businesses in town, city, and country, who are food and drink industry related, and can then service their local populations.

Soon, it will be necessary to locate, and deal with smaller, and therefore patriotic people in the food and drinks industry. If this is a little alien to some readers, I can personally vouch for this system, as a traditional fruit and veg seller, a small family business selling beautifully fragrant and fresh produce, was recently located by myself, and I didn't even know they were there... literally two minutes in the car, or around twenty five minutes walk from where I live. it is there, right in front of our eyes. As costs soar, and the Supermarkets try to grab even more of the profits from essentials, we will have serious choices to make.

We cannot carry on moaning, we cannot write, or read articles until we are blue in the face, and do nothing, and we cannot go back to the luxury of post war ease and cheap foreign imported foods. We now face the only two choices: 1 - Simply carry on until we have riots in the streets, and criminals take control of certain aspects of life. 2 - We action all that we have complained about, and start a revolution under the radar. That way, aspects of normal life (our parents and grandparents lived this way), will become common place, and no matter what is thrown at us, at least we will be able to feed our families, or know where and how to get fresh produce within a short distance away. It's up to us to act, and this means more than politically, it will mean the difference between hunger or starvation soon.
