He’s the perfect poster- lob in a post normally “on message” and sit back and watch everyone argue over it for a long time. He must chuckle at home reading the posts... but rarely replying! He should be a politician!! I think that’s been suggested before!!

He is a bit like Boris Johnson, he seems to appeal to all in a weird way.

Even the ones that don't seem to be fond of him, still get sucked in and reply to his posts.

Thank you for the kind remarks.

Someone once observed that farmers have more in common with farmers from other countries than they do with their own fellow-citizens. It is true, certainly, but what does it imply?

I don't think farmers realise that it isn't me who is different, but them - obvious, when you think about it.

How many other industries are there where enterprises are acquired largely by inheritance, supported generously by the European public purse, and which have quite such an inflated sense of their own value?

And how many appreciate just how lucky they are, I wonder?

Something is only ever obvious once the differences of understanding are broken down and explained / discussed in an amicable manner throughly, to set out and clarify ones premise.

One cannot simply assume everyone else is different - without factual data to corroberate the thesis behind the statement!

if it was any other way how would the urban populations eat with all the holidays they expect to take each year

How many other industries are have assets into the millions yet still have to work all the hours God sends in such poor conditions for such bad returns and have to put up with the world and his wife KNOWING how to do their job better than them and telling them they are a poison to society and the planet while enjoying the fruits of their labors? Does your sanctimonious self important attitude tell you the answer to that question?
