The UK pig industry has asked the government for help after Brexit-related border problems and an influx of cheap European meat led to more than 100,000 surplus pigs backed up on farms around the country. The National Pig Association wrote to George Eustice, the environment secretary, last week asking him to convene an urgent meeting with processors and retailers in the face of “higher costs, falling prices and a shrinking market”. “Most pig processors expect to enter a lossmaking situation in the first quarter of 2021,” Richard Lister, chairman of the National Pig Association, said in the letter.
I find it quite enjoyable when actually properly cooked. Always did.
You'll laugh but where I used to live in the UK I had so much sunshine and heat that I had to buy an air conditioning machine to survive. It's not all doom and gloom and fog and rain![]()
Guns make the news, science doesn't.
Mate, after having draught and suffering fucking heatwaves for the past 4 years I'd welcome cold and rain. You should stop worrying and love the wet.
Dunno if this is interesting or not,
but I'm buying and shipping stuff to the EU office. So far not had a single straight answer about what to expect., Its mostly send it off and pray.. customs tarifs? Who knows!
