Don't hold back!
OPINION: ACT MP Mark Cameron isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but he certainly calls it how he sees it, holding nothing back when ‘climate scientists’ had a crack at Kiwi farmers recently:
Apparently British supermarkets are also currently facing a shortage of fresh fruit and vegetables after bad weather in Europe and North Africa ruined harvests and disrupted travel routes.
This comes on top of sky-high energy rates for local farmers, making it uneconomic for them to grow out of season produce in glasshouses.
Britain traditionally relies on imports of around 90% of lettuces and 95% of tomatoes during winter.
The shortage has led to several supermarkets rationing certain salad products to shoppers, including peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
Meanwhile, UK Environment Secretary Therese Coffey has got into strife for suggesting that British families eat home-grown seasonal vegetables, such as turnips, while other vegetables remained in short supply.
