Well Brexit will give the opportunity to review all government subsidies and ensure they are targeted correctly to where there is a genuine need.
Whoo hoo!

Instead of the EU giving super wealthy landowners £millions, post Brexit the UK tax payers can hand the money over directly. Brexit just keeps on giving, and wealthy foreigners like Prince Khalid Abdullah al Saud, just keep on taking.
Gromit, which bit of 'design a better system of supporting farmers' and 'Britain has never had a better opportunity to reshape our farming sector for the common good'

It has always been know, to me at any rate, that the bulk of farming subsidy went to big estates to not grow stuff. So this is a good thing.

All the silly things we are all apparently ' outraged' about can have an overhaul post Brexit.

If we leave the EU (and the CAP) then indeed there is the opportunity to reshape a fairer system.

Unfortunately I have little faith that Gove has either the inclination nor the drive to undertake such a reorganisation.
