It?s not that unusual to ask someone who is making a big deal about creating a local, community based enterprise if they have links to the local community. I imagine he?s asking the guys if at least they already live here or was it just a case of spot the opportunity to start up a project.



What is the aim of having a locally supplied meat source by the way? Besides being local (which doesn?t mean very much) what specific provisions / requirements will be put in place to ensure quality / reduced environmental impact / good treatment of livestock (assuming these are your aims)?

Hello all,

Yes, I have lived here for more than 15 years. Sourcing meat as locally as possible is basic common sense. From an environmental point of view, we feel it is better to buy, lets say chicken from an organic farm in Kent 15 miles away, then it is to buy from a farm in, let's say, Leicestershire.. lower carbon footprint, easier to visit the farm to ensure good treatment and quality. However, the overriding aim is still to provide the highest quality product as possible, so we will obviously be flexible.

Cheers,

Nonold

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
