[Barrie Yates]

Up to 5 years ago I lived in a rural community in France - my house was surrounded by fields of crops, corn, cabbage, cauliflower, apples, pears and various other things - told to help myself as they were paid not to harvest them, or pop along to the farm for free milk. Paid not to harvest them, or the milk, by the CAP. It was left to rot or went into the composter. They still had their protests - but of course they were French. CAP is just one of the corrupt products of the EU and all farmers benefit from it.
