The Telegraph’s Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, usually sound on economics, has endorsed the apocalyptic claims of EU sockpuppets Agra, exposed last week by Guido as being in the pay of Brussels, having pocketed over €200,000 in 2014 alone. The organisation has released a hyperbolic report titled “Preparing For Brexit”, claiming that 90% of farmers wouldn’t survive the loss of subsidies occasioned by EU withdrawal. Evans-Pritchard seems to accept this absurd exercise in EU spin however, and is at pains to state that the “Agra report is not a propaganda document. It is a detailed text, carefully researched, written for industry insiders. It is not to be dismissed lightly”. Really?
Readers will be pleased to hear that they can purchase Agra’s report for only £500 here. Despite having already paid for it via Euro-taxes…
UPDATE: Ambrose responds, sounds like he feels deceived:
@GuidoFawkes Only saw your £36,000 story when I wrote last week. Agra told me it was a subscription not a grant.

@GuidoFawkes The extra €209,000 to Agra CEAS is more serious. They did not disclose this to me. Changes the picture
