The irony is: domesticated farm animals are almost certainly the best-looked after of all animals.

Almost all are killed while still reasonably healthy, after a life of adequate nutrition, freedom from predators, and spared a long lingering death in old age.

Given some of the policies that have come out of the building are they sure they weren't just workers trying to get in after being locked out...

Don't expect a reasonable argument like that to cut any ice with your average vegan Ultra.

I’d love to see a complete breakdown of what these people think a complete years plant based diet would look like, what it comprises and how sustainable it would be both environmentally and nutritionally.
As far as I’m concerned, all my cattle and sheep are plant based, as well as feeding my veg crops.

I welcome them, looking foward to them showing me how to farm in a long term sustainable and morally satisfactory way, feed the world and make enough money to do it all again next year. I had wondered why they were not showing me this but now I see it is because they were busy climbing around on buildings.

I understand the police abseiled down , removed the banner and just left the protestors up there

Good smart move I thought

pity they couldn't put something up so nobody can see them, they would probably soon get fed up with nobody looking at them

PAYE for me , tax, benefit in kind , no transfer of farm losses to my PAYE

No RPA registration or sub

No grants

Hell I'm less subsidised than a pig farmer

Not everyone.

NHS, Education, not subsidised and free to all?

Is it wrong of me to have hopped the police might have glued the protestors hands to the side of the structure and accidentally knocked them off so they dangled for a bit...

No we pay for it

Now if they get really smart they will bring the road blockers and handcuff them to the railings there too. Its like the modern day equivalent of the village stocks
