So Booths....we are not key workers

[Northeastfarmer]

Get over yourselves.
I can't think of a better job to be in right now.
I could make a long, long list of people who should get priority treatment before we do.

That is not the point...farmers are classed as key workers, no one is saying we are better than doctors and nurses but we are still key workers

NOT asking for priority treatment

Try reading what was posted. At no point was special treatment asked for. Actually pointed out about NHS workers. BUT had she said she was a bin worker or post worker would have been ok

Thanks for your input

I am saying get over yourselves and be thankful for the job and lifestyle we all have right now compared to 99% of the population.
I have had to change very little of my daily life in the last 6 weeks compared to folks who live in urban areas/ have to commute/ lost their jobs/ worried sick about getting the tube once they have to go back to work etc etc.
So a shop says I'm not a key worker. So bloody what.

Here’s Booth’s policy, straight off their Twitter feed. Worth noting that they don’t use the term “key worker” anywhere on it. Perhaps that’s where the confusion arose?

It’s rare we agree on matter retail, but I’m with you on this. As I understand it the special hours are for those whose jobs and work induced lifestyles prevent them shopping during normal trading hours, and I don’t see that applying to farmers, in the main.

And the irony is we supply those fecking arshole shafting supermarkets.

Twunts.

Booths ( and other supermarkets) should have twigged by now that without farmers, they have nowt to sell,except possibly Polish mince, and Quorn.

Morrisons thanked their farmer producers last week.

And I would also point out that trying to run your farming business without the support of some furloughed suppliers, and under the incessant cosh of ‘stay home, save the NHS’ is a mental strain - if nothing else.

Appreciate that you are ok and a lot of farmers will be but the key workers status is there for the ones that aren't.

I'm saying it for a third time, then i'm going to bed.

Get over yourselves.

Someone said "take it to a journalist". Yeah, go on then, I bet that will turn out to be a brilliant PR article for agriculture.

Farmers are about 1% of the population are they not?
So your saying we have the best job and lifestyle at the moment
That makes me feel very good, thanks
