Common Market


It's market day at Uttoxeter in Staffordshire, eight years after Britain joined the European Economic Community and Bruce Grocott is gauging opinion on the arrangement. Some argue that it's a good thing: after all, Britain isn't self-sufficient when it comes to food. While on the other side the focus is on the fact that a European milk lake has resulted in dairy farmers being paid to stop production, which must be a bad thing, right? A thorny issue that is set to run and run.
