Russia is openly waging a form of hybrid warfare against us and this is part of it.
We're at the point where the Telegraph are literally making up quotes.
I said when veg is sold for pennies in supermarkets, it's a sign someone's not being paid properly.
Farmers being paid a pittance for their produce.
Workers on less than a living wage in supermarkets.

Iβm so popular with the ladies.
Utterly heartrending and enraging to read this piece.

Itβs entirely false to pretend the alternative to underpaying food producers and staff is that food has to be more expensive.

They want that to be the argument, A or B, so you donβt notice C: go after them.
