I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food."
"Hmm."
"But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things."
"Oh, I guess that ..."
