Should the UK pursue self sufficiency for environmental and security reasons?

[vetran]

In light of Vaccine wars, import & export issues etc should we aim to be mostly self sufficient growing enough food and technology that we need to import significantly less from corrupt regimes like China and the EU?

Fewer food miles, we know 7 year olds or slave labour aren't assembling our phones or trainers etc.

Food security is covered by our own Sarg Potato Peeler

seeing as we didn't manage to grow our own food during the battle of the Atlantic I'm not sure it's even possible.
We still had rationing even with imports.

Sure. If you want the country to be poor, since people who could otherwise be generating wealth will be growing potatoes.

Greta would be proud of you.

I believe wealth measured in turnips is more traditional

I wonder how long we could actually last as a nation if all imports were cut off overnight?

In context, that'd be the UK. HTH.
