What's interesting to me is that farming appears to be in complete shambles and everyone is just okay with it or thinks that the solution is to invest more money into it and hope it fixes everything

Matches the NHS then

So you think it's OK to take from British farmers, but give to farmers overseas. Unbelievable!

Our farmers need help, lots of help. Charity begins at home.

So which party have you been voting for and how did you vote in the Brexit referendum?

You can’t tell?!

 

[PeteM]

Oh I can, indeed. I guess they conveniently ignore that they voted for the party who put this policy in place and that their precious Brexit massively fecked over UK farming anyway, proving that they never gave a toss anyway for farmers in this country.

Did you miss or ignore this part of the article? Labour is giving farmers more than Tories did and 10 times what they're giving overseas

[COLOR=%s]Environment Secretary Steve Reed insisted that farmers remain the “backbone of Britain” and announced £5 billion into farming over the next two years, the largest amount ever directed towards sustainable food production.[/COLOR]

Absolutely not. But when and where have they explained what it's to go towards, who is eligible, how do they claim it, etc. And perhaps it would be a good idea to inform the farmers who are upset, angry, frustrated and protesting against the inheritance tax new rules.

I feel like if you’re a farmer you’re probably more aware than the average layperson on what you qualify for and can get and where this money

Telling you or me wouldn’t benefit anything

Let’s also be honest - plenty of farmers are outraged because a benefit they have had is being taken away. Doesn’t matter if it won’t actually affect them, they just don’t like how it sounds

I spoke to a friend of mine recently about it very briefly. His family were upset. I asked whether his family farm qualifies - no but plenty of the farms around them do so they are upset on behalf of them essentially

We’re still in the single market and our farming is ducked cows produce a lot of gas but not as much as the government
