    Soonaxed.

    But the desk-banging was only because he'd told them that he'd done an agreement with Labour over pairing so they could start their Easter holidays a week early. Unfortunately for the poor dears the deal fell apart and they have to go into work next week now 😂

    McSharry reforms

    We just grew conventional 00 rape and United Oilseeds, ADM etc shuffled some paperwork, put our set-aside oilseed in the heap with ‘normal’ oilseed and found the equivalent tonnage on the continent for industrial use.

    Why Do Councils Go Bust?

    It was obvious that it was going to happen years ago but to be fair they only started investing (badly as it’s turned out) to offset the cuts to their budgets from the ridiculous austerity drive from the Tories...

    Food security is a silly argument…

    Do you seriously believe that this government any particular interest in the farmer’s vote? There’s so few of us nowadays that the interests of the ‘newcomers’ to the countryside are far more important to them than us farmers, who they assume will vote Tory anyway (as we’ve always done and will...

    Netanyahu knew the consequences that would result from the payments, from Qatar to Hamas, that he sanctioned. It's in his best interest that any peace initiative should fail, he will likely end up in jail when his fraud trial resumes, as it will when he's kicked out of office. Golda Meir...

    Farmers are the donkey everyone rides

    That's NEVER going to happen, I remember my grandfather telling me how in the ’30s the dairy farmers tried to withhold the milk and there were always plenty of ‘scabs’ who would be sneaking their milk into the dairies. Can't you see it on here, there's loads who would see it as an opportunity...

    Farmers are the donkey everyone rides

    Dyson and his like would soon make up the shortfalls. The truth is no one in government has any sympathy whilst you're sitting on multi-million pounds of assets bellyaching about how hard-done-by you are.
