this one doesn't fly
half the fucking world is trying to export food to us but the huge tariff barriers erected by the EU make it nigh on impossible.
I'm actually more bremainee than you but the food angle is rubbish. The CAP was designed purely for fat french farmers who wanted to continue doing things the way their fathers did (06.30 - calvados and croissant, 07/q5 petit brandy avec cafe etc etc) and it then got massively gamed by all the biggest cunts in europe.

Also the punitive tarrifs on goods from outside the EU is hurting people we should be helping.
16% tarrifs on oranges so were forced to buy subsidised Spanish ones.
Large tarrifs on processed cocoa and coffee beans so Africa farmers can't get the full value of their product.
Basically the whole system is there to protect relatively wealthy european buisiness owners whilst exploiting 3rd world farmers.
Drop those tarrifs and we get very cheap food.

So they have stopped imposing large tarrifs on processed coffee and cocoa products and the CAP is now a power for good?
Can't tell from that bit of propaganda.

Of course CAP needs reform. Being given money just because you own agricultural land is a huge transfer of income from the poor to the rich, at least the way the UK chooses to organise its agriculture. This will not change once we leave though.
