Farmers' Protest: London 25th March 2024 - Part 3

The farmers have had enough. These people don't have time off as a rule. Farming is not a profession where such luxuries are possible, so if farmers are driven to protest in London in significant numbers, things must be getting very bad. Shop from farmers direct at farmers' markets if you can, support independent shops which source their produce locally and wherever possible, avoid supermarkets.
A big thank you to all the protestors who were willing to speak to me on camera. First up, George Whitehead of Whitehead Machinery, based in Ashford in Kent.
He is followed by a farmer from Petersfield in Hampshire, who sells free range turkeys, after which I spoke briefly to two farmers from Leicestershire.Show more

And the Guardian's take on "outrage farmers" (that's not a category I've ever heard of before!). Real farmers are just dupes...
"What’s going on in Wales? Real farmers duped by ‘outrage’ farmers, and a clueless Sunak along for the ride"

In MSM clown world, closing down UK farms is good for food security...
"Cheap food is more important than protecting failing farmers
Closed-minded attitudes to trade hurt British consumers and harm food security"
