If they do bow to pressure from farmers? We can contact Defra. Who did you contact when the 67 exemptions were granted by the EU Commision?Which of our one elected politicians will you contact to reverse this decision?
Discussing the impact of Brexit
@MSW The vast, vast majority of FS employees are not fat cats sitting by their swimming pools stealing money off the poor, they're regular people who are working hard to provide for their families.

The article suggests “bowing to pressure from farmers”, would that be similar back door deals?

Two sets of rules and accountability. The first one for the British Government and they must be held to the highest standards. And for people like you and many others the EU always gets a free pass. Quite a back handed complement for the British Government.
Never said our Government are virtuous. The point was we know who to contact. Been in touch with my MP many times and he has always replied. It was you who seemed to infer, I wouldn't know who to contact?As you can see, I didn’t give the EU a free pass, I never even mentioned them. I was simply quoting your post, suggesting that now we’re out of the EU we only have our own politicians to worry about, and pointing out that it’s still not actually that simple.
With regards to the “back room deal”, I assume you also have no evidence for that being why the EU exclusions were applied (I’m not saying it wasn’t), but the halcyon idea that our own Politicians/Government are somehow virtuous is a little naive.

If it was a case if contacting someone in Brussels to express concern, you would have been right. Because they were 28 nations all with their own concerns, sometimes in conflict eith each other. Would it have been an MEP, the person in charge of the CAP? In fact neither is the answer, as they have no power at all!

Yes. I forgot about the rations. But never mind. We have wrestled our sovrnteeee back from the evil EU. That's all there is to it.We did but we also had rations after the war for a long time.
Don't remember that being on the side of the bus or a benefit of the leave campaign ...
The chain is much smaller and therefore easier to access. Doesn't matter which Party they belong too. The Parliamentary Committees have multi-party membership and do have real power. So I would contact James Cartledge and keep in touch, until I got an answer. Done it more than once in the past and if needed will do it in the future. He is always helpful and listens. Do I expect it to influence Government Policy. Unlikely, but at least he needs to understand how we feel. It is too late complaining after the event. Seemingly the mistake too many of you Remainers made before the Referendum.We could contact the EU equivalent and escalate via our MEP. Do you really think that Defra have a hotline for these things? Who would you contact there? Why would you get a better response?

The cost of our weekly shop went up after we joined the Common Market. Give you one, Cane Sugar do we would buy Beet Sugar from Europe. All the Cane Sugar factories in the UK shutdown.
Food items were no longer on the shelves when we joined the EU? Well, all through out the years we were members, our shelves were so full we were spoilt for choice. A couple of weeks of leaving and we've begun to see empty shelves in our supermarkets.When we joined the EU many food items were no longer on the shelves. Food products from New Zealand, Australia and the West Indies were no longer available, due to punitive EU tariffs or even banned.
We explained this several times: you voted for MEP‘s as well, you are represented. Stop saying you were not represented in the EU, it is just simply not true.Never said our Government are virtuous.

The state of this response; I mean he can barely string a sentence together on it.
They never had a clue. Now after just two weeks there's talk of handing out compensation already....
....and of course he's now bumbled his way into another fiasco with the compensation remark, as he wasn't meant to say anything....

The government have finally admitted they turned down the proposal for visa free tours by musicians, after trying to blame the EU. I know many people involved with the live music industry and this is utterly moronic, for an industry that contributes so much to be dealt a blow like this when it's on its knees.
