Abolish CAP subsidies
An interesting new blog on this theme here (and a good debate going on in the comments section):

About Me
- Name: Wyn Grant
- Location: East Stand, The Valley, United Kingdom
I started supporting Charlton in 1953 when my father took me to a game (my mother came sometimes as well). My father was born in North Woolwich in 1908 and had been a Charlton supporter since the 1920s when an older cousin took him. He raised the admission fee by looking after horses while deliveries were made. I now live in Leamington in Warwickshire, but remain a season ticket holder, as is my wife. Visitors to my CAP blog may be confused by this but, as well as being a Charlton supporter, I am expert on the CAP and the political economy of the food chain. I am also a frequent commentator for UK and international print and broadcast media and wire services on British politics, hence my new blog on the subject.

Thanks for adding a post about the CEASE campaign. It's encouraging to know there are others out there that are interested.
FYI I'm hoping to form a 'coalition of the willing' to start a proper, and hopefully, high profile campaign in the run up to the next official review of the CAP in 2008. The blog is just a starting point to try and recruit and engage interested parties. What I'm really hoping to do in the short to medium term is find some support from countries that are traditionally pro-CAP e.g. France. It's all to easy to sit and preach to governments that are at least partially converted as many of those in northern Europe seem to be.
Hope you'll keep visiting anyway!

This is an ambitious but worthwhile target, preaching to the unconverted. I'll be interested in the campaign.

Due you believe in a pure capatalist system where government does not give money to any industry, health education, or for building houses. l
