Nonsense. Britain invented globalisation in the 1700s. The UK has
consistently imported produce and products that are cheaper than the
home market. When it comes down to it, it can feed itself. In 1939
it was not ready,still importing vast qualitioes of food from the empire
and others. By 1945 internal food production was way ahead of 1939.


In other words, the UK could not arm or feed itself during WWII.
