This morning I shopped in a supermarket -a great British institution .
I was chocked at what I saw .
There was a display of 10 or 12 different varieties of apples &1 pear.
Not one of them came from our British orchards !
They were all imported from thousand of miles Away ☹️

Most countries in Europe have 1metre distancing, In England 2metres- How can you run a restaurant with 2 metre distancing ?
If so, the level of unemployment and businesses going under will be so high & the misery going with it unbearable .

The damage is done.I strongly believe globalisation will change -discale ; the single cheap big factory system cannot go on .We need to rebuild our local skills, our past crafts , grow our own food , instead of importing everyting from across the world.Rebuild Envirement+job

The problem is huge.most of these imported fruits-veg- are sprayed many times with so many chemicals .cresting residue .polluting the earth .air .sea and rivers -then more polution through transport -then the huge cost of cleaning up the polution-
