Food attitudes ?

[NorthernRaider]

.... but the idea of a breakdown of food supply doesn't go well with the (possible) allowing of immigrants into the country,... unless of course [ as usual ] the left hand doesnt know what the right is doing.

Even the powers that be would soon suffer if these two clashed

No, sorry my normally wise friend, any government that wishes to extend its influence and control over an ever more subservient population would far rather have 100 million desperate , impoverished scared sheeple who will do anything for a few pounds of brown rice, rather than try to manipulate 50 milion well fed, mobile, free thinking people who can defy the state.

Be they marxist or capitalist both seek control via manipulating desperate masses, both live in fear of well fed, well armed, mobile, and communicative people.

This govt like all such bodies seeks ever more control over an ever more compliant population. Whilst we despise sheeple government love them.
