Let's say Janet is a vegan. So f@cking what. Show me any evidence you want that ELMS is anti-livestock farming. On the contrary, there's going to be huge incentives for large arable enterprises to introduce grazing to their mix. Which may well be anti-upland, and anti-small, but anti-meat ? Nah.
Do you farm full time delilah and if yes what do you farm??

Of all the things to get wound up about at the moment!

A rumour that Janet Hughes may or may not be vegan?

Jeeeeus, Delilah's right, this is embarrassing - people read this forum FFS.
I sort of agree but if she has an influence on the policy it explains a lot.

There have been changes due to the backlash but nothing that helps livestock farmers, the ones who need it most.
 
Tim W has had a a chip on his shoulder and been anti subs for years and well before brexit boss farmer.

He seems to think that the UK farming industry can be built on the model of being given free grass by London money that buys up farms/ estates etc.
Anyone against subs to uk farmers has a chip on their shoulder and doesnt have UK farming in their best interests ive learned that over the years
 
You heard a rumour, that's all.

As irritating as internet vegans can sometimes be, its not a cult or a shady conspiracy. I don't think this thread could get any more "old man shouts at cloud".....
No i was directly messaged, are you sure about that? I wouldnt underestimate them theyre pouring milk on supermarket floors etc sending farmers death threats id say they ARE a cult
