[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 9228008, member: 2119"] Correct. As long as farmers are operating within the law then they should be left alone not pilloried or gas lighted out of existence just because their activities don’t meet some folks idea of what is right and acceptable. I’m fed up of trial by social media often instigated by minority pressure groups who make a lot of noise and seem to attract a lot of air time with woke and entitled BBC. We have these folk wanting to be able to swim safely in our rivers. They feel entitled. Well in my view river swimming is hardly a national priority, it’s hardly an essential. A shortage of eggs brought about by continued pressuring of poultry firms to make rivers clean enough for their tiny minority pastime would be a much more serious problem. Nobody seems to think of that. We just have minority pressure groups banging on selfishly that every other industry should desist and make way for their very middle class sport or hobby. Just about sums the country up. I’ve even some sympathy for the water companies. The public see the capacity of such systems as infinite and when it comes down to it won’t do a thing to help the situation themselves. Have six kids. Chuck everything down the pan. Oh what the sewerage sysyem can’t cope? Too much sh!t Sherlock. This attitude prevails in our village. Everybody craftily taps their outflow into a roadside drain. They never desludge their septic tanks. The sh!t ends up in our watercourse. But they’ll all be reading the Guardian this weekend tut tutting about those dirty farmers and the CSF man will be wondering why the phosphate levels are so high. The hypocracy of it all. [/QUOTE]
