Subject: RE: BS: Fuel crisis
The Strike is over Doug. Let the Debate begin
Unfortunately the media is already more interested in Big Brother than other important issues
Farming is in crisis here - I think its bad over there too??With lots of eastern Countries industrialising and requiring oil there could be more trouble ahead as we all want a larger share of this resource
On last nights news there was a car dealer delivering his chilling opinion that we should forget about global warming as its already too late. So it seems like we should live for today and not worry about tomorrow that much
I noticed in Ireland this summer when we shopped at a supermarket that the amount of Irish produce was itemised separately. Perhaps we should have the same here and see how much support British farmers do get in real terms?
What ever happened to supply and demand anyway, I would love to buy some organic fruit and veg locally but it doesn't exist. Organic Food it seems is a little like public Transport, everyone likes the idea of it but no one wants to pay for it
