I understand where you're coming from, I'm no fan of RT either.
However, I think it is a little unfair for us to expect Olly to make personal sacrifices on behalf of all farmers, he owes us all feck all.
I watched Olly for around a year on YouTube, he had hardly any views and subscribers at that point. He has worked extremely hard to get to the point where he is at the moment social media wise, why should he jeopardise his networks for no personal gain?
If others asked you to do the same Clive, my opinion would be exactly the same. Us farmers can be a selfish bunch, sometimes I wonder is it even worth fighting on our behalf?
i don’t expect Olly to sacrifice anything - i’m suggesting as a farmer representive on RT board to be sure he’s well informed re import rules etc (which in his last video he seemed not to be re farm level assurance/ gatekeeper rules for imports) and uses his social media reach to draw awareness to issues …… which i think he already does a great job of. We are friends !
i have done exactly the same over the years and on occasion it has cost me commercially, equally on occasions it has also benefited me - if you take from an industry ( which both Olly and i do) you have to give back ( which Olly and i both also do, often more so than many realise or might want to acknowledge!)
