@CarnoustieC @hellscapedisco @PolitlcsUK And structurally, large, non-governmental operations have profit incentives at their core, which tends to lead to worse outcomes for the people growing our food. That’s what ZP is going on about

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@CarnoustieC @hellscapedisco @PolitlcsUK And…? I mean you clearly understand the system, but surely there’s a better way of doing it that results in cheap, quality produce for the consumer with decent wage and pay for the producers. It’s not exactly a utopian dreamworld to suggest that

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@CarnoustieC @hellscapedisco @PolitlcsUK And so what? This is a structural issue- supermarkets existence and ability to use economies of scale to outbid local farmers/suppliers are a symptom of a dysfunctional society. We shouldn’t be able to get non-seasonal veg year round, and workers/farmers should be paid more

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@hellscapedisco @PolitlcsUK ZP says- this is in indication of a bad society
You say- he’s an idiot
I say- he’s right
You say- uhhh loss leader

This is not a coherent argument. The fact veg can be 7p means someone is getting exploited. Supermarkets are not doing it purely for marketing

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@hellscapedisco @PolitlcsUK Regardless of what you call the strategy, how can you say this is a system of distributing food that works for the producers and the consumers? You can’t

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@CarnoustieC @hellscapedisco @PolitlcsUK Yes because supermarkets are out for the consumer… it’s all profit driven bollocks and the people who suffer are hard working farmers. Ridiculous to say otherwise

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@hellscapedisco @PolitlcsUK And who loses out? Hint- the farmer

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@CarnoustieC @hellscapedisco @PolitlcsUK Genuinely takes the most frivolous bit of research to realise that supermarkets are not a good thing for the world, Zack is absolutely correct

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@CarnoustieC @hellscapedisco @PolitlcsUK Where does it say that?
Even then, you could easily look at exploitation of farmers by supermarkets in the UK. I don’t know why people are coming out on the side of supermarkets here

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@hellscapedisco @PolitlcsUK I mean there are countless studies about the murky supply chain for groceries. It’s called “global south exploitation”.
You’re an idiot.

@AndMarsh69 @DanW2Capital @boro_alex2 Detailed by what? You played the final ffs 😭😭

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@L76538Oliver @testosteroneHAV @PolitlcsUK Classic rightoid, can’t think beyond “simple” things.
Do you think these people are coming over on the boats and passing citizenship tests? Have you ever lived in London? Do you understand the history of each borough? Genuine idiot.

@DGibson1977 @gunmanbrett @PolitlcsUK Have a good night Daz

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@DGibson1977 @gunmanbrett @PolitlcsUK You’re not making any sense. You dodged the question about supporting Farage, now are saying you’re entitled to wade in when discussing Farage. Why won’t you just say you support him? And that I was right with my presumption?

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@DGibson1977 @gunmanbrett @PolitlcsUK I’m all for blaming material conditions that have led to Farage, but can quite easily do both. You clearly do agree with him, you being in NI didn’t stop you wading in to begin with, so shouldn’t stop you condemning him but whatever 🤷‍♀️

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@DGibson1977 @gunmanbrett @PolitlcsUK So just to be absolutely clear, you don’t support Farage? And you agree with the above about him being a conman?

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@DGibson1977 @gunmanbrett @PolitlcsUK You said “it’s the politicians unable to do xyz” in opposition to the support generated for Farage. What exactly are you saying, if not that Farage WOULD sort it out? Your tweet makes no sense if you aren’t saying that.

[luke @yeahokayluke]

@DGibson1977 @gunmanbrett @PolitlcsUK Also I fkn hate the state of party politics, but labours current commitment to northern industrialisation + renationalising rail + nuclear/wind power investment is pretty good by my standards
