i get why your protesting i really do , have you got the support of the welsh public genuine question as i guess its more of a rural population than england . do you see any comparisons with the miners strike 40 years ago when they protested because they knew their industry was being taken away from them ? good luck with your endeavours by the way .

A lot of the public have turned against Labour and in particular Drakeford in Wales, so farmers are doing what a lot want to do themselves ,the 20 mph speed limit has created a lot off anger

NFU Cymru commissioned a YouGuv poll late last year, which found that 82% of respondents "support the Welsh Government providing financial support to farmers to produce food. When taking into account Welsh Government’s priorities, 72% said that supporting Welsh farmers was a good use of public spending". Support was even higher than that in the Labour heartlands of South Wales.

So yes, we do have public support, so far at least.

As a general rule the public are in support but there's some you'll never turn. They can't see how someone can be moaning about needing subs when their protest tractor is £150,000. They see it like a millionaire in a Ferrari not a business thing

Job losses and food getting dearer
