Why?
Paid the living wage and have holidays.
They could leave, borrow a cart load of money, take the risk, work their arse off for 30 years, then take some of the holidays they never had before.
Or not.
So the man who started the Brexit is destroying the UK thread says it's much the same as before and your only response is to say I'm twisting what ye said . Laughable

Why are UK farmers asking how to claim UC after the reduction in SFP?
More importantly why are they not taking to the streets to complain about that and all the other things?

good job he doesnt know about some deseased Ash lining the rail embankmnets then because if he did he would be aking for more and quite right to being a driver with potentially fallen tree that in front of you aint nice .but just maybe he should campaign for passenger compi as well.
better if instead of sending surveyors to look at it all they spent it on the men with the chainsaws.
Not sure what you are trying to say.

If you read the replies to things I've posted plenty are saying they don't need Subs, anyone who does can't farm.
UK farmers will never protest because they'll skin each other for a penny.
Then they moan about what the French have just achieved.
oh my heart bleeds for them lol.
arable is all sit on seat .stock farm is far more physical especially Dairy.
EU farmers who protest will get some of what they want (import tariffs, cheaper diesel, etc) that means food prices across the West of the EU will increase. That means the UK's food imports will increase which will therefore mean UK produced food will go up in value. Whether that will track back to farm income increases will depend on the usual variables (net import-export surplus-deficits, contracts, mean buyers, more regulation, greenwashing off-setting, etc)
In short, the french have started a process which may end up with the constitution of a 6th Republic. We in the UK will do very little but will, like the original French Revolution, still benefit from it by geographic proxy.
why funnyMeanwhile you've got an ex Dairy farmer, skiing for 5 weeks,
saying UK farmers don't need subs and liking a post calling a farmer who receives Subs " a parasite who needs to learn to farm" while on the next thread UK farmers are asking how to claim universal credit!
Situation normal, UK farmers carving up UK farmers
French have the right to protest enshrined in law and have caused huge problems with their blockades and forced the government to concede on various points, they also have done things such as set fire to a local government building fly tip huge amounts of tyres on the motorways, setting fire to many of them causing huge amounts of pollution, they've sprayed supermarkets and other buildings with muck and slurry and I saw on one news programme last night the process to clear the mess on the A48 of a huge pile of tree waste and plastic. All of that in the UK is criminal damage and everyone involved would be arrested and charged, I for one would condemn that level of law breaking, it certainly would not bring support from the UK public and I'm surprised you support such law breaking, I'm sure if that level of dumping rubbish was tipped on your land and the smoke from burning tyres drifted past your family you would not be so happy.

The only reason we got any money from the CAP was because of
French farmers protesting since 1973.
Same as uk labour party made it possible for your forebears to buy your farm, or enjoy AHA protection but you support neither.
