You say this like it is a bad thing. But I think it is good, that less people in the food industry get exploited and get a proper wage. This means that the food can't be price competitive with other regions who don't pay a proper wage. And I am very glad, that we still produce at least some amount of food, even if it is inefficient as far as market theory is concerned, because I rather still want to eat something, even when some foreign nation determines we shouldn't get their food or there is some supply chain event again.

I also prefer to be able to go to the doctor and not be broke, because modern medicine is fucking expensive and nearly nobody would be able to pay for that alone. Also even for the few rich guys who could afford it, it gets cheaper that way, because otherwise there would be far fewer people on whose shoulder the fixed costs need to be split.

The issue with the pensions is also not the pensions per se, but the very unhealthy population structure. That's a problem nobody has a real solution for, but that doesn't mean pensions are bad.

But not for british farmers anymore.
