A first national farmers “strike” is under way in England with a number of farmers refusing to ship milling wheat out to stores for the next two weeks, in protest at the raft of Labor government policies that are hitting the industry hard.
Supermarkets across the nation have already seen a glut of shoppers stocking up on flour, yeast, and what’s left of baked goods, which will all disappear from shelves soon.
Tescos Supermarkets across London have already registered an uptick in flour sales, as have Costco, and Sainsbury’s. Fights broke out in a Croydon supermarket on Tuesday over a packet of flour, resulting in police shutting down the supermarket.
At the moment the UK government is trying to hush the news, and keep the controlled media under their leash, but news will soon gain speed through social media.
The strike began on April 1 and is already having noticeable effects throughout the UK.
