Anyone for turkey?

Sainsburys report a 10% drop in poultry sales since the bird flu among Norfolk turkeys. But has the price come down? No. In the wretched E.U. there are no market forces only a foolish common agricultural policy to featherbed farmers, especially French ones. Those of us who do not think we are facing a health risk are not to be rewarded. It was just the same with BSE. No cheap steak. Let us get out of this protectionist cartel and return to a freer market.
