Tag plan will cause chaos
This ridiculous scheme will have a catastrophic impact on UK farmers. Many will go out of business. The British Government has given up our nation's veto which could have stopped this crazy proposal.
A majority vote by EU agriculture ministers will force all sheep farmers across the bloc to comply with this costly plan.
Decisions affecting agriculture in Britain should be made by the UK Government acting in the best interests of the farmers of our nation.
The EU's stupid set-aside scheme forced many UK fields to be wasted and become fallow land. At the same time, many millions of people in developing countries were starving. What a scandalous state of affairs.
The forthcoming European elections on June 4 allow the people of Britain to deliver their judgment on the crass, anti-democratic EU.
An independent UK, having withdrawn from the EU, would be able to block the tagging scheme unilaterally.
The EU's proposal to tag sheep is a criminal waste of money. The EU Commissioners are clearly dangerous people causing chaos in British agriculture – they should be tagged, not the sheep!
