A little bit of politics

Excuse the diversion away from our usual content. I’ll be back with more wibbling later.

Ever since O level economics, where we studied the common agricultural policy (CAP) and the general agreement on trade and tariffs (GATT) I’ve been of the opinion that trade subsidies are a bad thing. I’m not an out and out free market fan, but with this editorial and this new blog I think the nice people of the Grauniad may have a point. Lets abolish argicultural subsidies and I’ll have my money in cash thanks.

Of course, the chances of triumphing over entrenched special interests are slim, but that shouldn’t stop us trying.
