If you think it's bad here.....

I want to know why the farmer riots in India are not on the BBC. Big tech is going to own them and there are already more suicides than.... is anywhere near what it should be. These people are disgusting and must be stopped.

They are

Oh to be a dairy farmer

Then factor in how much the Chinese have cost NZ dairy farmers over the last 20 years...

What's the carbon footprint of a sailing ship? Remember NZ lamb has been coming to the UK for the best part of 140 years.

Was that when NZ started to loose a large area of its forests ?

By whom?Not all of NZ was covered by forest either.
Also probably some volcanic eruptions that did more damage to NZ than most people realise too.

We are now apparently a sovereign nation and can decide for ourselves what is imported and what not. Can’t we?

Yep the British were partly to blame so perhaps we should
sponsor a tree planting program for you guys .

No, no ,no!!! You will do what you are instructed by the UN!!!

What he said, plus alterations to water course protection, carbon credits scheme etc etc. He said there's stock farms going for 2k an acre with suicide rates increasing due to mortgage troubles. He told my brother that he didn't think her covid plan was much cop either as they are losing no end of tourist revenue. Basically she's screwing over primary industry at a time when people are going to need jobs, any kind of jobs.

i bet the 100 odd thousand that are dead and buried here from covid wished they lived in new zealand

I dont know.

Trouble is I shouldnt be a hipocrit and start running them down , as just one example just bought a new cordless hammer drill known make just £40 probably made in China.....

Like I've said its a World wide issue,gets me down tbh.

 

[FonterraFarmer]

Just like the Blair gov't, who trained the stupid pansy in the first place.
UN puppet, and we all know the UN view on animal ag

fudgeing glad I'm not a farmer, I think we left dairying at the right time TBH

Have Jacinda, Clarke and Clarke's two children been vaccinated yet?

Ah but Don't forget this
Them....
New Zealand's population density is relatively low, at 19 per square kilometre (49.2 per square mile) (June 2020 estimate).
Population: 5,084,300 (Stats NZ June 2020 estimate)


Us.....
As of 2019, the population density for the United Kingdom was 275 people per square kilometer. Of the countries which make up the United Kingdom, England is by far the most densely populated at 432 people per square kilometer.3 Feb 2021

so does that mean nz only did so much better than us because they dont have buses, offices, lifts,pubs, supermarkets like we do where people breath each others second hand air, they got all of these and still did better, if youve got a thousand people that visit say a supermarket every week, does it make much difference how spread out their houses are

Will the stocking restrictions on steep ground affect your model much Pete. Was thinking about this earlier today

No, it won't affect us. We apply no fert, grow no fodder crops, and will have all the infrastructure in place to knock Jac's socks off.

London alone is almost twice their population , factor in airplane movements ,well I know which Country I would rather (try to ) manage for virus reasons , not that I would want to but someone's got to do it.

Closer together, sardines in a can, it wasn't so much like that when I was in Wellington iirc, and Chrstchurch , well that just seemed sort of rural in comparison to our big cities.

Oh ffs not forgetting NZ is 2,000km from the next nearest land mass and actually can (allegedly) control people entering and leaving the country.
That said remember with the last Auckland lockdown, who was the first person to do a runner/ bailed out???
Lead by example, eh.

Yep. As soon as I heard the PM was flying down to Wellington from Auckland to hold a press conference I knew Auckland was screwed

The romance versus the reality of cultured stem cell proteins

Just six points to keep in mind every time there’s a press release or article proclaiming cultured stems cells are the future of “meat”. When looking at food production, the real …

Nz had past experience with sars in 2003
As did most of the far east
Thats why they had a plan and implemented it

 

[Northernlights]

So do we, average age of a covid death is over 80!

Not many 80 year olds still working...

Just like the 40 year old paramedic we know who got it last April and has not worked since no pre existing conditions just long covid now with lung damage the most serious.

And when it came to pandemic planning we opted for a flu like virus in the last decade which was useless in spite of according to my vet all veterinary students in the past forty odd years being taught that a novel virus like covid would jump the species barrier so no one can say they were unaware. Its been a gross dereliction of duty by government not to plan for this virus

Even our own medics knew it would happen sometime.
