Download the Food Programme Brexit special podcast from BBC Radio player and see what you think. We're fucked man. The pounds plumetted making our imports much more expensive. 30% of our food is from the EU. Oil is paid for in dollars which massively affects our haulage and air costs. We're sending the crop pickers home. As for the restaurant trade, about half the staff are EU. Same as the food processing factories. We've become complacent about food security, as you've just alluded to. The food binge party is over CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 20170 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Janan Ganesh's column in the FT today is good. He's basically saying that with the Tories lurching to the right and Labour to the left that the 48% need a new party to represent them and it could come from the break up of the Labour Party. Let Corbyn keep the Labour Party name and structure, he argues, and the PLP can form a new party with the Lib Dems, who, let's face it, have little else going for them. He argues the past four PMs (Major, Blair, Brown and Cameron) tried to blend a free economy, a substantial state, cultural looseness and EU membership. And 16m voters feel dispossessed, want to return to the status quo and would vote a party back in that represented these values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie 0 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 There's definitely something to be said for that. The only good thing to come out of this whole fuck-up is the quality of the thought/analysis/writing that has been done to try to understand and explain it. It's similar to the Greece crisis in that respect, and I would imagine similar things are happening in the media in all European countries. The only hope we have is that out of all of this debate comes some action to bring about a better way of doing things that addresses the concerns and plight of the disenfranchised people, of which there are clearly millions. Somehow it's hard to be optimistic about that though, cos you just know at the end of the day it's still going to be BAE with Murdoch and the rest of them continuing to run the show.

If we still have 4 years to the next GE, we have the time. Let Corbyn keep the labour party and his 30 odd loyal MPs. Let the rest form their own party, ideally with a merger with the Lib Dems. That would rightfully leave Corbyn's party as the 4th largest party in west minster. This wouldn't be like the SDP split of the 80s because it would have massive parliamentary support, and I hope, public support. We're in desperate times, we need radical measures.
