Aren't you all surprised by them blocking public rights of way and trying to intimidate anyone who says they should live by the same rules as the rest of us?

I'm convinved a lot of the negativity comes from more urban folk

Possibly, and not helped by a skewed view of farming shows where they’re raking in millions, Clarksons Farm, that female shepherdess and her family, etc.

Maybe urbanites need a year of living and working on a proper farm instead of the proposed new national service.

instead of the proposed new national service.

Why can't that be one of the options of National Service? It doesn't have to be military service.

Oh yeah! To be honest I think I’d completely forgotten most of the details!
