Like I said I'm not as fond of Charles. He champions organic food and that's enough to make me wish he'd choke to death on his own stupidity.

As opposed to GM foods, for which there is no market whatsoever? Organic stuff is what people tend to buy these days, it's just that he takes it too far. But I still think he drew all the short straws when it came to the gene pool. ^_^

Especially when I see families struggling to maintain a one bedroom flat

You forget the Queen and everything surrounding the monarchy generates an order of magnitude more in tourism revenue than the tiny amount we pay for their upkeep. If you want to talk about saving money then why not start with the obscene amount the Government spends on campaigns for political correctness, or what the Met spends on combating any form of 'verbal abuse', or abolishing the CRE. None of these things generates any social or monetary benefit.

There's no market for GM cause the scaremongers have completely succeeded in demonising it. Over in the US they've been eating it for years and no one is growing horns or turning green yet.  
 Besides I'm not pushing GM food. I'm saying stick to the current modern agriculture rather than going for the golden age of farming crap.

Organic food isn't any better for you. It doesn't taste any better. It's more likely to give you cancer. It's actually worse for the enviroment and on top of all that they expect you to pay more to eat it.

Basically it's a big con that half of the country have fallen for.
