    Of course this misses the point completely that all studies so far conducted into the health of the Nation since WWII have shown the Nation was at its healthiest just after rationing.

    Instead of being subsidised by the EU (largely in the interests of the French Farming Community) to leave land sitting fallow, it will become worth their while to actually plant vegetables.

    They could then harvest these and sell them for a profit. The profits could, of course, be used to pay locals to work on the farms.

    Free market economics at work.

    PPS Funny how, given global warming, they are getting low temperatures in Southern Europe. I always thought the film "The Day after Tomorrow" was bollox, now I'm not so sure. maybe the artic will suddenly sweep down and Freeze London under 15 feet of ice.
    Its great really before our "Friends" start punishing for leaving we have a reason to start moving towards self sufficiency.
