Striking times!

Thank goodness farmers don’t go on strike, because I like to eat.

Not that the UK Government is doing anyone any favours with their Global Britain garbage and delusional post Brexit deals brokered and celebrated by the intellectually challenged and former nutter PM, Liz Truss.

Bring back Boris?...Nah, only joking. If only it was that funny.

But it is not.

The agricultural industry needs to be represented by grown-ups who know the industry from the inside, not the wealthy and subsidised clowns who masquerade as leaders of the free world and of ‘so called’ British values on a global stage, while not realising that they are being laughed at behind their backs.

Brexit was sold on a media supported lie, the current global deals are not new but often repackaged and as such, ‘lies’ has become the political norm in the UK, and this effects farming in so many ways.

Spanish potatoes labelled as British with the Union Flag (not jack) is just one stupid example of the normalisation of lies.

Truth is important to any industry and agriculture is no different.

We must fight for the real recognition of home grown produce so that consumers can knowingly support our own armers.

Not to do so, will kill the industry slowly by a thousand cuts with cheaper imports, and the public will not be aware.

The time is now to stand up for our farmers throughout all the nations of the British Isles.

Get it? – Good!

Now that that is my inner ‘Che Guevara’ fully exorcised, where is my bank card, I have an energy bill to pay with my spilled blood.

Happy new year folks!
