What the petition asks
Ban suppliers from purchasing food from outside Europe in favour of our own farmers. Stop non sensible air miles, stop supporting countries and companies exploiting a low paid workforce. While we eat their crops many starve.
It’s mad to be buying Asparagus from China. I want you to incentivise British farmers and penalise food that originated from outside Europe.
We should become more self sufficient and stop relying on countries like China.
Let’s get our manufacturing up, incentivise farmers and create a workforce to be proud of. It will help the environment and create jobs
