[Werzle]

Welsh farmers to start protesting at holyhead port this week in an attempt to stop irish beef coming over. Lets hope this protest is the start of something massive, we cannot go on with these awful prices when we know its being driven by firms greed and not supply/demand

I hope the welsh farmers don’t stop the ferries from being able to load or unload vehicles of any kind , it might make the ferries think about taking lorry loads of beef over here which would be a terrible shame

If you hear of anything closer to home let us know .

that seems rather unfair, its not like the ferry is completely loaded with beef lorries but hay ho spose the rest will be collateral damage

The Irish beef has nowhere else to go has it, haven't they shut down all the slaughterhouses because the freezers in Ireland are all full? How are the protestors going to differentiate between lorries carrying beef and those loaded with other goods? For christ sake no one involved turn up in a 2019 Range Rover sport or a 200hp John Deere, it ruins the narrative! Only use the oldest, most knackered but road legal vehicle in your fleet, ideally something that has at least some parts made in the UK!!

Whilst there, could the protesters also put back on the ferry all the Fendt caravans towed by transit vans that have none matching plates.. as such they are illegal to be on the UK road network but the DVLA don't seem able to enforce the £1000 fines on certain sectors of society...

PS if Welsh farmers feel threatened by Irish Beef competition just wait till the gates open for tariff free imports from the USA, Brazil and Argentina.

Wouldn't get my hopes up, Its all very odd

Protest to 'disrupt' trucks carrying cheap Irish beef into the UK

The Holyhead port demonstration is allegedly endorsed by many of Anglesey's top beef producers - but some are now considering legal action

Police were quick off the mark, larry dabbing them as well?!

 

[Chae1]

Is bald rick involved?

If farmers could turn off fridge units on lorries how long would they have to hold them for until beef had to be dumped?

and I am even in a good mood today, despite the rain and the sheep prices ? Best way to block US beef was to remain in the EU..

Well it must be as they are protesting at a port it comes in to.

My former neighbour was captain of HMS Conqueror in 1982 (put 2 holes in the General Belgrano) - I'll see if he's busy

FFS! Look I get the situation, the frustration with how things are working but Welsh farmers protesting at the import of Irish beef whilst simultaneously exporting more than 90% of Welsh lamb and beef exports to the EU.
