Bloody Pirate presents ☠

I honestly think that Farmers are being too civil in their protests: against a government that clearly hates them and is seeking to destroy them.
Starmer’s conduct is as decisive and confrontational to Farmers as Thatcher’s policies that’s broke the back of the mining industry in the 80’s.
Farmers are not going to get any resolution whilst Starmer feels secure in his position. Given how insensible he is to human reactions, they’ll likely get nothing. At best a faux deal that abates their concern to divert and mollify. A deception in effect!
Remember the fuel strike? The farmers have to take the same robust action.
The fuel strike seriously rattled Blair and the UK Government have been cautious around the matter ever since.
That’s the effect the Farmers need to have and that means strikes, boycotts and blockades.

....their time will come....

....if he knows the people are being lied to, only a traitor would fail to speak out....there are people in jail over this, and he is covering his own ass....fucking reprehensible....

Here us my tuppence worth on farmers, being the daughter if a farm manager (retired) and a mother of a son who has taken a massive dive of great debt to buy a farm in NE Scotland.

My Dad worked 24/7 .... for someone else, but he took great pride in his farming and the love of the land. We never had holidays because school holidays were when Dad was busiest. I also didn't know that people went on holiday as my holidays were spent working on the farm too ... so that is my work ethic and I have great respect for all.

My Dad always said .... supermarkets will be the death of farming .... I have never forgotten this and will never set foot in a super market for this very reason.

When my oldest son and his wife managed to get a tenancy farm, it was huge for them, they worked this and kept full time jobs, and along came an opportunity for them to buy a farm, it is a huge gamble for them, but they have jumped to do it and I am super proud of them....but they literally work 18 hours 7 days a week. They are exhausted, have no money, not even to buy food, I do this for them, it is the least I can do. They live 2.5 hours away so I can't do much more to help... anyway, the bottom line is, every person I know who works with the land, do so as a vocation, not to make money, but to provide for others to their detriment, yet they would never say this, they would say it is for the love.

So my long winded way of saying, instead of looking at what the farmers could or couldn't do .... the solution is simple....walk away from supermarkets, any chain of coffee shop, fast food outlet, etc .... I know I am saying this to the converted and knowing of this, but spread the word, stand outside the supermarkets and block their carparks, let people know why .... we are the ones who should be showing our utmost support for farmers and yes, I agree with bloody pirate Smith.... put the coppers to their funds because the small farmer really doesn't have cash...they live very frugally and if you went to their houses you would see they have nothing lavish .... the joke in our family is, make sure you have lengths of bailer twine so you can fix anything .....
