Mecky Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 It's not smart to try to start a discussion and not give anything specific to discuss. You do it all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Clowning Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 It really would be helpful if the op gave us a tiny little clue as to what subsidy he was talking about? Maybe you could pose the question to google and get an answer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Farmers. It is done to protect the countryside. Stupid thread innit. If that's what he meant we had a thread on that recently. CAP is intended to ensure agricultural output i.e. food. Whether farmers are among the most asset-rich people is a moot point but assets don't put food on the table. Work does and if the farmers' work doesn't pay we all starve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowperil Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I think theyd rather the land be given to the poor, like a commune.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeX Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 asset-rich does not mean cash-rich especially those who own land. There are a few very rich people who own a lot of land but the vast majority of land ownership in the UK is very small amounts at a time, which is worth very little and no one would buy it, so worthless to the owner.
