This is a normal post Hey I can see you had your reasons and unlike Benny are able to articulate them
I'ld love to debate them but got jobs on.
But Farming subsidies seriously?

Yes I could fly to wherever the EU has it's head office at the moment going back and forth from Brussels to Strasbourg at the cost of €103 million.

Then find out my MEP doesn't hold surgeries so fly back, write a letter.
Wait to see if one of my actually 7 MEPS that claim to represent me will give me the honour of listening to me.

Fly back to wherever the EU is currently squatting. Have some twat in a suit nod politely whilst I talk.

And then fly back home having developed a carbon footprint the equivalent of 5 double decker buses and achieved nothing.

OR

I can walk 15 minutes and speak with my MP at his surgery (Except on Wednesday afternoons) with knowledge he'll be in trouble if some nutjob starts a local campaign.

To be honest I just kind of lobbed in farming subsidies as there appear to be a few farmers who are suddenly realising their overproduction is no longer going to be rewarded :)

You're lucky to have an MP who actually does their surgeries, it's hit and miss depending on the MP.

This is a normal post Never had a need so great I parly with a tory.
But if I did then its good to know I can.

Plus we have a healthy collection of grass roots activists that seem to be on top of things.
