EU farming subsidies are 'daylight robbery'

EU subsidies for farming are funded by ordinary people being "taxed to subsidise the richest people in the land", claims George Monbiot.

The environmentalist and writer said there were no limits on the money that could be paid out, and claimed some of it was being used to fund racehorses and private planes.

He puts his case for changing the subsidies system in a Daily Politics soapbox film.
