As a vet, working with farmers and watching our national food security - and the population's interest in where our food comes from - decline, I spent decades shouting about this.
We have dismantled farming, and given it kicking after kicking. And I don't think I've seen a more anti-farming platform than Mastodon - people have their heads up their bums about farmers here and they absolutely are not willing to actually learn. They get brittle and angry about their right to demonstrate absolute ignorance.
The classic diatribes seem to be that ALL farmers voted for Brexit (they didn't, and the industry was sold a vision of increasing food security and stable income which was then deliberately pulled from them) and that they're wrong to protest against IHT (they're not, and if you actually listen, it's a small part of what they're trying to say).
We are fast approaching a collapse of our farming sector, and even then the farmers will be blamed first. People WILL find out.
