Here are the reasons why not. It'll be hard for the UK to get any deal out of the US anyway, Trump or Biden. The US wants to protect "Rocky Mountain Lamb"- and why shouldn't they? (Using "fake" non-tariff barriers eg still blaming Chernobyl etc) And even if the UK gets some sort of deal, the UK would have to sacrifice something to get a gain for Welsh lamb. Why on earth would London pay a price to help Welsh lamb? Same issue, smaller scale, as repeatedly sacrificing UK Fishing to get a better deal in Europe for E.Anglian grain or the City of London.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05937342201811857738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-37802909859039399532020-11-09T14:41:37.890+00:002020-11-09T14:41:37.890+00:00Comment by my namesake in response to arecent Golw...Comment by my namesake in response to arecent Golwg item on this subject. - " Over - dependent, evidently Ms Truss has skipped her meds this morning. Utterly daft thing to say about marketing of meat or any other produce. Huge effort has gone into developing markets for high quality Welsh produce and this daft dullard has no clue how to arrest losses, only reciting the same old mantra about diversification. Well, you need capital to fund diversification especially when addressing new products for new export markets and the best way of doing so is on the basis of being stable and profitable in your existing markets. Ms Truss seems to be doing her best to wreck the present market relationship before any new replacement has been developed. Spooky lack of basic brain power, or is it deliberate so that other "interested parties" can get on with rewilding and other half baked ideas ?. dafishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04216920242825385976noreply@blogger.com
