[QUOTE="Ashtree, post: 9111186, member: 3254"] So let me get this straight. German farmers organise themselves into a cohesive unit, to protest against goverment policy, which they see as negative to their interests. French farmers regularly do likewise, and do it with passion. Dutch farmers also in recent times have organised and protested. Irish farmers have gridlocked Dublin city and surrounding motorways, to get their point across. That there folks, manifests free democracy, in countries and societies, where farmers know their vote counts within proper PR represented parliaments. That’s democracy, where people including farmers, have a say, have the tools to agitate for their rights and a representative political system, which ensures they are heard and respected. Meanwhile, over on Blighty, farmers themselves aren’t properly organised. They just come on forums like TFF to bitch, moan and whimper. Their undemocratic donkey derby, FPTP electoral system, and ingrained Tory political establishment, neither cares for farmers, or rural constituencies, or indeed needs their votes. Rest assured of one thing folks, a farmer in the EU, has one hell of a better outlook than the poor compatriot in Global Britain. [/QUOTE]
