Farmers blockade Farmfoods and Tesco CDC Avonmouth

Have a look on the DEFRA website and see how much the Farmer’s are getting in Common Agricultural Payments !

No hauliers are getting help.

I like the way that the media has turned people against any my one they per civet to be better off than them.
A lot on annomosity towards farmers as they have expensive equipment what do you want them to use a donkey and plough.
If you think you work long hours doing hard work a farmer will work longer and harder.
They are been shafted by the supermarkets and are stuck as they can’t just stop milking there cows.
It’s same as people sagging off tube drivers they have decent wages and conditions as they have stuck together unlike drivers.

At the end of the day farmers are the most important part of the economy unless anyone wants to starve.Although ironically they are also the best example that proves the case against Thatcherism and free markets which also stitched up our coal and manufacturing industries. :bulb:

The fact is we are a net contributor to the EU budget IE we pay in more than any sector gets out of it.

Like you they’re entitled to vote as they please.

Labour have never been a friend of any businessman, so why would farmers vote for them anyway?

Ironically Socialist and Con probably ending up meaning the same thing in the form of a Chinese State owned western farming industry to feed the Chinese population while the west starves.

It seems obvious that they are driving up the value of farmland to price the indigenous industry off of its own land.Using our own cash given to them for stuff that we could make for ourselves. :unamused:

Which leaves the question as to why are the media so keen to concentrate on the milk price side of the equation while obviously ignoring the costs side.Bearing in mind that those costs are obviously being distorted by foreign involvement which goes against national security in the form of our food supply.
