One of Britain's leading big cat experts,written books on them and lectures on them, sees them often including females with cubs actually saw this cunningly disguised spacecraft that looks like a camp

But that country also has a massive population of those predators …….

Ok so the UK exports about 200,000 tonnes of wheat which sounds a lot right ?

It imports just shy of 2.5 billion tonnes a year ....... 

remember we are talking about the industry I’m in, I probably look at export and import amounts and prices pretty much every day. 

We are not self sufficient in food production at all, and we are constantly removing ground from food production. Also our production costs are going up rapidly and many folk are lowering their output, in order to lower input. Out soils are also degrading fast, and will not support the same level of food production etc.

Just seen this ? apart from walking across fields with your dog, how much do you actually know about farming ? more than someone who does it for a living ? we don’t actually have a huge amount of fertile land compared to most country’s, we’ve grown a lot of food cheaply using chemical fert etc. That’s becoming less viable now. We are also planting trees, rewilding, building towns. Our productive farm land is shrinking at a rate of knots.

i know a fair few farmers sheep could work and do bits for em including  one who is a self made millionaire with the beef he has not a huge amount a land to be fair for how many cows he has if i’m honest it’s surprising he’s self sufficient feeding em 

after all what do they eat grass silage and few bits of other crops 

why is using fertiliser less viable now because of agendas yet again 

and we will have less land if we keep letting immigrants in needing housing won’t we 

it’s all by design

we wouldn’t have the same variety were used to but could easily be self sufficient feeding our population 

google may help you ? 

According to Eustice the UK is: '86 per cent self-sufficient in beef, fully self-sufficient in liquid milk and produce more lamb than we consume. We are close to 100 per cent self-sufficient in poultry, eggs, carrots and swedes
