Rain Dog BS: Brexit & other UK political topics (4361* d) RE: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics 09 Oct 21


With regard to farming and farm workers wages, we should remember that as customers we have some of the lowest food prices in the world. This is driven by the supermarkets who, in order to attract us the customers, are continually forcing the food producers to cut costs.


Which report on food prices from 2019


"Globally, after Singapore and the US, the UK spends the lowest proportion of household income on food shopping, lower than our European neighbours Germany, France and Spain.

We’ve compared how much popular foods cost in 1988 with the equivalent cost in today’s money, accounting for inflation, and the actual cost in June 2019. All foods we investigated are cheaper to buy now, apart from white fish."
