No, yet again you fail.

Logic does not fail.

It fails you.

When importing large qualities of grain, etc from
north America, It meant the UK could concentrate on war
production. Simple when you know how.

Apparently they didn't know how then, as the UK still had to import arms
as
well as grain.

Please read and get the point(s). I know you find this difficult. They did
know how and went near to doing it, but the battle of the Atlantic was won,
so cheap and plentiful grain could be brought from its colony, Canada, and
the USA. It says this further down the thread. The British Army was
overwhelmingly supplied by UK produced arms. Various arms the UK imported,
as there were agreements wit the USA who would make various items, etc.

The same is today. The UK still imports arms because of trade agreements.
The UK could make all it wanted.
