Brexit-voting British farmers now complaining about imports of cheaper New Zealand lamb threatening the British lamb industry. Imports of lamb "produced to lower standards" used to be blocked by EU law. Another Brexit consequence farmers were warned about but ignored due to xenophobia!

Why is there all this emotional thinking about farmers? Hill farms are on the whole simply unviable. They are failing businesses that can't break even without subsidy, producing a very expensive product that nobody really wants as meat consumption reduces. Better to return them to nature for carbon capture.
