Ah, so godo to see that the truly excellent EU Common Agricultural Policy is working so well again - feast or famine, that's about all it's good for...
Or is the blame being placed at the door of Donald "The Hair" Trump, or China, or North Korea.... I am sure it can't possibly be the EU 's fault...

A few years back, the butter mountain got caught in a fire on South Wales and melted away into the sewers. When it eventually cooled down and congealed, they had to replace the entire sewage system.

The butter mountain was disposed of to Russia by an UK Eurocrat who went on to be Vice-Chancellor of Sussex University in the 1980s. The 1980s were not great times for universities, but Sussex rode out the Thatcherite storm quite successfully with him at the helm. Sir Leslie Fielding was his name. Very pleasant man with a hippie wife. Former diplomat so popular with his colleagues that he was exiled to Brussels. Never did much discernable at Sussex but everything went forward smoothly while he was in charge.
