Nonsense. Britain invented globalisation in the 1700s.

Dont be silly,

They did.

See "Empire" by Niall Ferguson.

I have,

Did you read it?

It can feed itself. Much of the UK is national park. That can be used
if
needed for crop growing.

You thrice dammed idiot.
National Parks in the UK ARE open for
farming,

Not all of it birdbrain.

It didn't need to be in 1945, as it imported food from its North
American
colony, Canada,

Canada was an independent nation
by then which declared war independently
on Germany.

Not so. Independence in 1948, 1959

by then with the U boat problem suppressed.

Which was just as well else we would have starved

No. Not staved at all. Tight, but not starved.

Very true. Basic foods were there, it
was the imported stuff like sugar
and the likes.

Along with wheat , apples , oranges etc.

Which can have home gown equivalents. Oranges are not base foods.

Lots of luck trying to grow citrus fruit in England
let alone Scotland, Wales or Ireland.

You don't need them to survive. they are luxury foods.
