Re: Massive Financial Scandals

Farmers milk the tax-payer on a great may products.

Up until about 7 years ago I had my own milk round. While I was delivering for a local dairy (Dale Farm), I learned that British dairy farmers have a habbit of not destroying their ''Over Quota Milk''. I honestly dont know (or really care) what the quota is, but beyond a set volume of milk, the farmer is paid to poar milk down the drains. Instead of doing so, may dairy farmers sell the ''Over Quota Milk'' at a reduced rate to smaller dairies, who then process and sell the milk on at an inflated profit.

Great work if you can get it, get paid the going rate for the milk in your quota, paid to daestroy the rest, and then sell it so the public get shafted twice.
