    (As someone who grew up in the countryside) farmers doing something dodgy? That’s so out of character!

          It’s insane.

          What gets my goat the most is that farmers take collectve action over the most insanely selfish shit, but are happy to be absolutely rinsed over things that are actively making their lives worse!

          Imagine if they actually pooled their resources to make sure they got fair pay from supermarkets instead of shitting themselves over inheritance tax and hunting bans.

          I say this as someone who lives and works alongside farmers. I have a huge degree of respect for the amount of work a lot of them do, but fuck me they’re a short slighted bunch.
