Food prices are rocketing all over Europe

Anyone outraged by the cost of a trip to Tesco or Sainsbury's – or the
price of filling their car – should know that they are not alone: the
same bewilderment and anxiety is sweeping the Continent.

Bulgarian bus drivers are going on strike. Italian fishermen will soon
down tools. Lorry drivers have sealed off oil refineries across France.
Even the fishermen of Belgium, hitherto a relatively obscure force in
European politics, are due to mass in Brussels.
