Blair has played a blinder over CAP
If like me you are Cap novice and do not understand the ins the outs, a really good state of present play is available Eureferendum. What are Brown and Blair doing linking CAP funding with their latest cause celèbre, poverty in Africa, demanding that the EU’s agriculture policy be abolished in its entirety.
A knowing Richard North takes a run through the CAP related headlines and puts them in perspective showing how by upping the anti Blair has wrong footed the Conservatives at home and taken the moral high ground, seriously upsetting the French into the bargain.
Blair has played a blinder, which is leaving the opposition, at home and abroad, floundering.
Why does everyone say that the EU producing cheap food for Africa causes famine Surely it stops famine and getting rid of the CAP would cause more famine aren’t the euro skeptics confusing poverty with famine, when they complain the CAP stops africa selling food to us what is the point in africa selling food to us if they don’t and have any left over and they don’t get cheap food from us anymore and they have a famine. Look at the potaoto famine and the indian fmaines, caused by the free makrmet when they couldnt afford our food prices. how does the CAP cause famine how does making too much food cause famine.
If being independent is the only way to be a democracy then north koera must be the biggest democracy in the planet and london must be a dictaorship.
I did not think Tony Blair was an Eusceptic but am pleased to hear he is.
