EU referendum. The truth about potatoes.

There's a sign in the Five Guys burger restaurant in my local shopping centre. It gives the location the potatoes used to make the fries came from. I've seen the sign many times, the spuds come from Holland. I have no problem with the Dutch or their potatoes for that matter but this got me thinking. Is there a similar establishment in Holland using British potatoes? If there isn't then we are importing more than we are exporting. This is not right. If there is this means that we, as the consumer aren't getting a fair deal. There would be an extra cost in getting the spuds from Holland onto your plate here & vice versa because someone has to bring them a much greater distance & use more fuel to get them here. This is happening due to the EU encouraging trade between countries but in reality it means this:

Being in the EU means we pay more for our potatoes & they aren't as fresh when you get them as the ones that are grown locally. 

Think about it. I'm making a point about potatoes but the same point can be applied to other goods traded between all EU countries. If you could only get potatoes from Holland I wouldn't have an issue with this but as we all know we can grow potatoes pretty much anywhere, so it makes no sense for any country to export them. Unless someone, somewhere is making a ton of money out of us the consumer in export & delivery costs? Maybe that's why Five Guys charge the astronomical prices they do for their fries.

Maybe nobody knows exactly what will happen should the UK vote leave but I can promise you this. If you vote leave your potatoes will be cheaper & fresher. The EU is a con & my point here proves it. Someone, somewhere is coining it in & then trying to fool us into thinking we are getting a good deal. The ones getting a good deal are businesses not consumers. Not just consumers in the UK but consumers in all countries of the EU because it seems we are all paying too much for our goods. The whole of Europe is being conned by the decision makers, big businesses & politicians who tell us we are financially better off when we aren't. These people are overcharging us all for goods then lying to us afterwards. These people tell us we are better off in the EU when what they really mean is I am better off in the EU. If I'm right leaving the EU will make us better off when we get to the supermarket checkout. 

What are you going to do about that?

P.S who do you trust, me or the prime minister?
