Brussels farmers' protest: Police fire water cannon at burning tyres https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-68402627

I was drawn to the flames behind the reporter in the colours of the Belgian flag, red, yellow and black. Spooky.

Me too
Was it an occult sign per chance ?
Looks like they’re (farmers) not for giving up

Got quite a shiver of shock seeing farmers using their tractors to attack the authorises. The strength of feeling must be incredible strong to stir up so much unrest

Won't be many more days protesting before we find out which has more push; "Fendt vs Army tank" will dominate YouTube

All the issues so upsetting to the EU farmers are happening here.
Except, it's RT introducing the greening measures, not the government (launch date April first, I kid you not!)

Wonder if we'll see the Anglian arable boys setting fire to London? They'll probably be too busy sowing spring crops to notice the enviromental shafting that's coming our way

Too busy sowing flowers for the summer of love (aka SFI payments)

Don't forget the polish finding plenty of Ukrainian grains being underhandedly imported.

Patience and support could be wearing thin

RT and the retailer consortium want to introduce compulsory cuts to production

They want diets changed to include more ultra processed food (more retailer profit)

They intend, this coming April, to launch their 'voluntary' greener farming commitments (GFC) scheme. It will cause as much if not more hardship and bureaucracy burden than anything the Welsh government have dreamt up

Has the SFI achieved its goal? Has it mollified English farmers into a false sense of bribed comfort? Convinced them the enviroment driven bollox so incensing all of European farmers won't affect England's dingley dells?
