I got involved in a campaign, #SaveBritishFarming, to try and protect our high food standards (after the govt U-turn) and push for an EU trade deal to try and protect our food industry.
Protecting our food supply felt like a mission we could all get behind.....

But the comments and attitudes of many Remainers on twitter have really shocked me.
They seem to lay the Brexit blame solely at the farmers' door.
So as a Remainer, who likes facts over beliefs I wanted to take a closer look...
