There’s a new campaigning weblog supported by the Guardian newspaper called KickASS – or kick all agricultural subsidies. The primary objection is the unintended effects these have on the thrid world, but there is also the more conventional idea that whilst agricultural subsidies are benefit individual farmers in the short term, it will lead to a long term crisis for an economically unfit sector. This is a particularly live issue in the rural and border areas of Northern Ireland.
Many thanks to Conservative Commentary for the link.
