Had a poke on Google News to see if there were any other attacks reported.The Saltening always struck me as such a bizarrely biblical thing to come up with. An ancient curse of yore. Who does that? Is it a thing that still happens in the 21stc? In...uhm...farming disputes or whatever?
Top hits are - how salt water might help with climate change, salt water resistant crops (relating to climate change) and ... Carly.
Of course maybe there's farmers sorting their personal grievances out in the saltening courts rather than through the civil courts and it just never makes it to press
