Farmer moves parked car

Good on the farmer, the police have become almost a joke as to what powers they actually have. Lots of young men nowerdays think they are billy big bolx nice to see one get out in his place. I salute that farmer if he had been pushed to straining point. Sadly more phone footage only showing half a story

For some reason lockdown has lowered the nations IQ by half. Now these folk are off the leash and out and about in the countryside. This isn't Alton Towers.....

Its not that the country has changed, more that the half who used to holiday within the UK (the well to do middle classes plus the small c conservative types) have suddenly been joined by the likes of the Benidorm all inclusive crowd, thanks to covid putting paid to their usual jaunts to the Med, and they aren't exactly well suited to the UK countryside, or indeed any polite society..........you can see exactly why all of Europe hates us now, this is the calibre of tourist we send over there.........

It does look a bit like the guy in the shorts asks him to push the car at the start, I hope a good defence lawyer could use that to get the farmer cut some slack in court. The poor guy has obviously been provoked way beyond the end of his tether and completely lost it.
The lads in the car need to take a long hard look at themselves, but they won’t. Even if they did, I doubt they’d have the intelligence to see much wrong. Extremely sad reflection on UK society right now.

The fault of the welfare state, allowing people to breed who years ago would not have had the wits to raise a family.

Just spoke to someone on the phone who knows them and the farmer was provoked
Why did he use pallett forks and feel the need to tip the car over and trash it? He could have just pushed it back onto the side of the road with a round bale on the front. I have done that a few times,and even got some folk unstuck(just push on a tow hitch at the back of the vehicle)

Easy to say calmly sat down on Sunday evening. Not so easy in the heat of the moment.

I guess we wont know the whole story.Maybe if there was an ambulance waiting to get in or out,or if the lads had been down to the farm causing bother? Dont know how the insurance will look at it,a 70 reg almost new car.

I hope the insurance investigate the lads into why the farmer needed to push the car over.
