UK Farming Protest - Start organising...

[yin ewe]

If we really want to properly protest we need to pull the bung on the milk tank, shoot a factory ready bullock and put him in the dead lorry or throw a weeks eggs on the dung heap.

All things that are trading at highest level ever …. Hmmm

What are you farming and where? I am a suspicious fellow... You would be surprised at the lengths russia and others are going to to interfere in other countries right now, attempts to mislead, sow doubt and divisions or maybe you wouldn't

Skepticism aside... The doctor and other strikers have specific demands regards work and conditions. What specific actions are you demanding? What are the things that we need government to address that will improve the situation for farmers whilst not greatly harming consumers. Most of the European protests have been triggered by specific policies such as the removal of lower tax diesel for agriculture.

What do we want, retify market failure,
How do we want it, er mmm hmmmm

The agricultural market is a failed market. Normally governments seek to rectify market failure, But currently they are reinforcing the move to monopolistic behaviour.

First we need the attention of governments, It seems street protest is now the only action that governments take notice of! ( We don't need politicians and governments to listen to us, we need them to ACT!)

Second we need the monopolies to be controlled or at least broken-up (OK Oligarchies to be accurate)

Beware: Picking and trying to fix individual grievances that result from the underlying cause does not fix the problem. And significantly distracts from the cause.

Doing nothing is guaranteed to fail!

Whilst that is a (fairly accurate) description of (part of) the problem, you still haven't said what you want. Specifically.

(Anyway, it's oligopoly, not oligarchies. That's the Ruskies.)

Farmers worldwide are being squeezed between monopoly suppliers and monopoly buyers. With farmers fragmented, they have to be "price takers".
With worldwide governments content to allow food producers to "go hang", food shortages are becoming ever more commonplace. Be it wheat in Africa, rice in India or fresh veg in the UK. Shortages increase profit margins for supermarkets, as evidenced by the consequences of the wheat crisis due to the invasion of Ukraine.

Mass farmer protests are occurring worldwide India, Poland, Germany, France... and generally they are the only course that seems to effective.

So Here is the call for UK farmers to organise! ( Don't bother with the NFU, they are establishment!) Lets set a target date of Good Friday, 29th March 2024 for farmers to drive their tractors to the local MP's local party office. ( Con, Lab, Lib, SNP, PC or whoever)

And maybe join the British Farmers Union while your at it!

29th March? Brilliant time for farmers, loads of spring work, lambing, drilling etc...

But it's a bank holiday. No one will be working.

Well obviously the banks will be shut

Who are you anyway ?

Fascinating things, chatbots!

 

[Granite Farmer]

I don’t have any sympathy with anyone that strikes nurses ,doctors ,train drivers, any of them lose my support once they inconvenience the people that pay their wages ie me.
Best way of loosing any support is turning up in your new massive tractor and plead poverty. As Jonny Lydon said on the butter advert “their career choice “

Sounds like you've never been an employee of a large organisation.

No disrespect but your avatar pic looks more like an AIC shiny suit than a farmer

I'm going to wait for a considered approach from BFU
