Bryony Nierop-Reading's letter referred to the problem of
food security in this country. With
respect I believe they are too idealistic in believing that we can gain
anything close to food self sufficiency. Our island has not been food self
sufficient for centuries even when the population was much smaller than it is
now. This is bad in that strategically
this makes us vulnerable to nation-states blockading our island nation. But it is good in that no matter how much the
nativists dislike it, we need to reach out to foreign partners to communicate
and trade with. Our geographic dilemma
also means keeping in mind the importance of maintaining a strong Royal Navy.
