I found this Facebook post last night. It's new Zealand based but it' still very relevant. Its long but read to the end to where it talks about article 2 b) of the Paris agreement. It says about not doing anything to mitigate climate change that could affect food security.

So what the hell are the Welsh government doing going against that part of the agreement? That needs bringing to their attention.

Why are WG going against the agreement? If you have been following the Welsh element of the Covid inquiry, you would have noted that time after time various senior figures outside of government have said that WG wanted a point of difference.
Ever this with a dictatorship

NRW have a team currently assessing the number and size of wind turbines which could be built in each of the ex forestry commission managed forests of Wales. Each project will involve large areas of each forest being clear felled.
Each development will be commissioned by WG and will remain the property of WG to maximise the profits from the development. When WG were selling the rights to apply for planning permission for similar projects to wind farm developers , there was a clause in the contracts that the developers had to fund WG purchasing farms to plant replacement tree cover. That’s the reason for the SFS tree planting requirement.
Just appeared on my WhatsApp, how true I don’t know.

I wonder if they have even read it

Everyone should send that to their NFU and FUW representative though. They are the ones that will be going to talk with Lesley Griffiths and Mark Drakeford (unfortunately...)

Sainted Isle is going nuclear on the back of UK government buying Wylfa site for £160m.

I know some land on the island is expensive but that's added significantly to my equity.

Wylfa A was built by the gov on presumably gov owned land. Did they sell it to Hitachi and if so for how much?

More than they would have paid to buy it back.

I thought so too. But it seems to have gone over the heads of most people I've shown it to today

not been in here for a couple of days and got some catching up ... does anyone ever read Jac o' the North's stuff ... he really has a handle on Dickford, 'et al' ... and the issues facing the farming industry ... the link below is a hell of a tome, but is bang on and needs spreading far and wide .... every thinking person should read it ...

We will have "New Masters" after this election. The trouble is that they will be depending on the same Civil Service mandarins to get things done.And if the Mandarins
don't agree with their "Master's views", then they just place plenty of spanners in the works to slow things down.

The powers that be do not consider agriculture with its highly marginal profitability and therefore low tax take, to be of more than the slightest importance. Indeed to many powerful London based economists, advisers and politicians, agriculture in the UK is more of a nuisance and cost than it is worth. That may come as a shock to many farmers and it is probably not a majority view among the population at large. However, neither the general public nor farmers [any longer] have any significant influence on the people that do have the power.

We need to remember that as far as city folk are concerned, all their food is already imported, all the way from the factory to their local supermarkets and restaurants.
