Item on Sky News about food

[NorthernRaider]

Sometimes sky is quite informative and tonight it passed on these interesting snippets about food.

Since June the cost of Wheat has risen by 37%
Since June the cost of Maize has risen by 56%

its expected to rise further.

An the food expert being interviewed told Jeff Randall that the famous Eu surpluses known as the Butter Mountain, Wheat Mountain, Wine Lake, Beef mountain etc are no more, they have all been used up and theres nothing in reserve.

Fascinating when you realuise that nearly every large food producer like the US, Canada, Russia, EU, India and Oz are all reporting appalingly poor crops this year, and its reckoned many poor people in third world countries of whom they spend nearly 80% of their available income on food are going to find they cannot afford food at all soon.

I wonder what 4 billion hungry people heading towards the EU and United States looks like ??

Interesting. Here we are thinking that our chavs won't travel a couple of miles and there is an expectation that some will travel hundreds. I can't see them doing that. They won't be able to fund it.

The Brits are too bone idle, but a few hundred million Africans and Asians under the belief that Europe is paved with gold, food is aplenty cos Europeans are all fat, and it will be easy because the whole of the EU is ran by half wittted socialists who will welcome them??

[Skean Dhude]

They will think that but they have to travel across land that won't help them or feed them to get here. That takes funding.

dont forget all the people they have to pay to get them across borders and seas!!

From todays DM, I have to wonder if members of our community with socialists leanings are going to help feed the ever increasing numbers in the UK who are going hungry?

Our local charities and self aid groups reported that the areas with the highest number of satelite dishes was the same area with the highest number of benefit claimants.
