At the meeting on SFS I attended yesterday, someone was handing out leaflets as we left for a political party called Gwlad
Lost me at Independence for Wales but full of invective against the Senedd and support for Welsh agriculture

Loons though

They were doing that at the NFU meeting in Welshpool last week too. I looked them up afterwards, and they really are a bunch of loons. Thankfully, the electorate have thought the same thus far too. :censored:

Impressive. Good speakers??

A bunch of those that spoke from the floor were bussed in from Brum and Stafford, and started ranting about WEF, civil disobedience, etc, in what was clearly a preorganised job. I just hope they don't get a chance to hijack something that has potential to affect change.

Two guys chairing the meeting, on behalf of the organisers, one an NFU member and one FUW, were very good. (y)

The usual blame game from WAG, no mention of the raft of regulations they’re bringing in.
As an aside, the water companies are raising prices above inflation so that they can renew infrastructure.

6% for England & Wales and 9% for Scotland.

Easy if you can set your own prices and have a monopoly. Think even I could turn a penny

Those idiots form Brum and Stafford were only there to stir up trouble. Too many of them spoke in the end. Were they part of the British national party or similar? Totally understand there views on the WEF, as that's where the Welsh and british government are getting there ideas from. The 2030 agena. Russel Brand is totally against the WEF. CONTROL THE FOOD, CONTROL THE PEOPLE.

I watched part of it on live stream. The second speaker spoke the most sense laying bare the lies and faults of brexit. Not sure if it sunk in though...

I agree, but the protest has to be about making WAG listen, not Bill Gates. I got the impression some of the speakers wanted to stir up revolt UK wide, not just in the ag sector, and certainly not in the Welsh Ag sector.

There were a group on the balcony that certainly didn't look like farmers, and who were noticeably hiding their faces when the cameras came back on. There were a few scattered through the crowd too I think, which I would guess were there to start the muted applause after the 'WEF' speakers had done their turn. I struck me as a pre-organised job.

We have to make sure this isn't hijacked, IMO.

I see on your FB post (as linked above of GWJ post) you mentioned something about Brummies. Thanks for the clarification Neil.

Always someone looking to further their own agendas... :(

Do you just want a peaceful march then.
Sorry I had Interpreted "protest like the french" differently, could have got messy there, can we at least spread some slurry on them?
