Or is it a call for cannibalism?:
"[Hillary] Benn urged people to "buy more British and eat more British".
Soylent green all round, eh?
Facetiousness and slightly selective editing aside, this -
"Benn added: "I want British agriculture to produce as much food as possible. No ifs, no buts.

So the answer is to buy more British and eat more British."
- sounds an awful lot like a clarion call for a return to an exciting 70s siege economy.

Don't give them ideas!
Wasn't there some slight kerfuffle a few years ago when it was noticed that the MoD was buying most of its rations from abroad to feed British troops?
Physician, heal thyself.
That'll be 'Joined Up Government' then?
BE - Yeah, all hail the GBP - the Gordon Brown Peso. Enjoy bananas etc while you can.
