What even foreign farmers....!.....and then RT etc come along and say they will rigorously review their processes and standards to ensure that farmers are producing safe British food.

This is going to be a continuation of the journalist slant that is anti-meat. I bet Deed Rektor isn't even mentioned.

I agree. It will have footage of intensive poultry or something all cast in a bad light. I bet the entire livestock industry gets implicated as crooked. I'd put money on it.

That is the general intent of the media. Title says it all.
That said, it looks even worse when a TV show unearths these below standard practices, not the body designed and funded to do it. If Red Tractor are going to complain they weren't told about the problems when the filming was originally done, it's even more embarrassing and makes a mockery of having a scheme all together. They should be the one's finding the problems and making sure standards are met.
It's going to be another bad night for the farming industry imo.
Watch the welsh winter fair on s4c instead and save yourself the pain
best not to watch it, like all the news programs atm deppressing to say the least.

Did you not read the posts yesterday about the way HFD treated his RT inspector?? who did nothing wrong other than to turn up for an agreed inspection and as soon as they got out of the car he laid straight into them and before long had reduced the inspector to tears!
How can they enforce the scheme rules when farmers that are in the scheme are behaving like this?
( and i have no time for RT or the inspectors but what he did to the RT inspector amounted to nothing more than bullying and was done to prevent them from carrying out the inspection )

If the program focused on some solely non assured beef/sheep/pig farms I am sure there would be far more backlash!

Yep i totally agree, the problem is further up the line and not the inspector.
Thou of course you get the odd bad inspector who is on a power trip but if that happens just be polite ask them to leave and call their office to explain why and ask to be sent a new inspector.
HFD cattle went off on one at one point because she asked this simple question: Where is your disinfectant? that is just a bog standard question they ask at every inspection!
No need for an inspection , easy to ring up and tell them to stuff their red tractor right up their ...............
