Cranswick, one of the UK’s largest pork producers, has called for government action to save the pig industry after feed price rises added to labour shortages to place farmers under “unsustainable strain”.

A jump in cereal prices of more than 50 per cent after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pushed up the price of feed, which accounts for most of the cost of raising a pig. This had added to problems in the sector caused by post-Brexit shortages of skilled butchers, said Cranswick.

These little digs keep on coming. Corollary to the foregoing is that we shouldn’t have left the EU because of the shortage of butchers and the like.

Btw, there is no shortage of plumbers in my area.

Or maybe, if you know you're going to leave the EU, you make sure you can continue to get the workforce required before you do, or put plans in place to train more people up where expected shortages will happen.

From experience firstly with my then gilrlfriend's father.

He was a small(ish) pig breeder and when they were farrowing used to be up 24/7, I used to spell him occaisionally when I was there but he insisted no longer than an hour, that enabled him to get at least a little shuteye. . That was UK law at the time, check daily on the animals you are breeding to ensure their health and safety (not the eact wording), he had no problem with that, the more piglets that survived, the more profit he made.(for British bacon production.)

Other than the 7-14 days they were expected to farrow (give birth) they were free range, most were in and out in less than 10 days. There was a very good reason for it. But that's a different story.

At the time I was being trained to be a qualified slaughterman (as well as a master butcher with a family firm). I worked 7 days a week to get my certificate as a slaughterman and more time to become a master butcher.

Now a question for you. Why is my exgirlfriend's Father no longer breeding pigs and why I am no longer recognised as a "Master Butcher". I know some Supermarket chains claim to have one but that is BS I could bury everyone of them after all these years and all because of the EEC morphing from an economic Union into a political one.

I bet you've never heard of British Bacon because you've only ever seen Danish.

Rant over.

It is not often you can actually see the race to the bottom:

The Conservatives did under Maggie Thatcher. Labour was in a hopeless mess and MT got us out of the one that Labour left her.
