Is British agriculture headed to the abattoir? (Getty Images)

The demise of British agriculture caused by the importation of produce from Australia and elsewhere will allow millions of acres of disused farmland to be built on by housing developers. Is this one reason why the development companies contribute so much to the Tory party? What a legacy for our grandchildren: millions of acres of countryside covered in poorly built, badly designed houses, some of which will no doubt be built on flood plains.
