We are paying at least £16bn per year into the CAP (source: Open Europe) and even after deducting the amounts paid to our farmers in subsidies it still means a bill of £8.27bn more in than we get out.

The word on falls in food prices ought to have been 'should reduce'. Can you see the supermarkets passing on these savings to customers without a big fight?
