That Hillary Benn [son of you-know-who] is a touch insipid goes without saying to anybody who has seen him perform on TV although I suppose that in today's Labour Party this may actually be seen as a 'badge of honour'.His recent outpourings on 'the UK's food needs and potential problems for the future' have been rather interesting.
[I really do not know if he shares his dad's views on the European Union but this seems most unlikely considering that he has received promotions in the government.]
His remarks about our future needs as a nation fail to make out one vital point. The EU has intentionally run down our food-producing abilities in order to make us more reliant on that body.
In World War Two we were almost able to meet the essential needs of the population. Today - I am unable to find stats to say what percentage we produce for ourselves - but it is indubitably tiny.
