[Diggers350] 300,000 jobs we can pay for

[Simon Fairlie]

If we scrap CAP subsidies  the majority of our food will be imported  
form the North America, Australia/NZ  and developing countries.

The problem is not the subsidies (though tariffs would be better) — 
they are needed to make UK  farming viable in a competitive  
capitalist market.  The problem is the concentration of land in large  
farms.
