Steak and Cheese with a side of guilt at @Radisson_Hotels It's clear that Klimato are giving some sort of kick back to Raddison but with this being the location for @Semex conference, should businesses consider where their custom comes from? @1GarethWynJones @Evsthetractor

๐Ÿ”ฅ How to destroy farming UKโ€ฆ โ–ช๏ธGovernment encourages farmers to take land out of production and manage it for nature. Meaning they lose profit from crops. โ–ช๏ธThen government cuts some of the promised payments, caps agreements and opens a ยฃ253 MILLION SFI funding pot. โ–ช๏ธ12,200 farmers apply but it was gone in 5 hours 48 minutes, leaving thousands of farmers unable to plug the profit gab, with many close to bankruptcy. Which is so handy for the global corporates looking for more land and the renewable energy companies isnโ€™t it? What an utterly ridiculous way to run British farming. Unless thatโ€™s the plan ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Britain needs a new generation of farmers, and if anyone wrote the job advert honestly, nobody would apply. Vacancy: farmer, Great Britain Hours: all of them. Christmas morning is when the cow picks. Place of work: outdoors, in whatever it is doing. Pay: set by your buyer, after you have delivered. Pay in a bad year: you pay them. Holiday: see Hours. Lunch: in the cab, moving. Sick leave: the animals will let you know when. Line manager: the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, currently the tenth in ten years. Do not learn the name. Probation period: your whole life, overseen by a parent who has not retired and will not. Training: provided by that parent over about 30 years, unpaid, mostly by shouting across a yard. Equipment: supplied by you, on finance. The finance outlives the equipment. Company vehicle: a pickup with a dog-hair interior and a mind of its own. Premises: worth millions on paper. Do not sell anything from them without planning permission. Colleagues: one dog, the only one who fully understands the brief. Performance review: conducted by people who have never done the job, on television and at dinner parties you were not invited to. Pension: the land. Please note the land is also your successor's job, your bank's security and, above ยฃ2.5m, partly the Treasury's. Succession: available, provided you outlive the paperwork by seven years. Climate duties: you will be blamed for the weather and billed for it. Equal opportunities: women welcome, having done half of this job for a thousand years without anyone writing it down. Essential skills: welding, veterinary work, accountancy, weather forecasting, mechanics, and saying "not bad" when asked how things are. Desirable: a television contract. To apply: be born into it.

'There's a real sense in the countryside that you can't be listening to everybody if you're going to ignore 11 million people that call it a place of work and home.' Mo Metcalf-Fisher from The Countryside Alliance on Andy Burnham's approach to farmers.

Interesting development following the launch of @CAupdates Campaign for Countryside last Monday where the family farm tax was denounced for the appalling policy that it is. Though not confirmed at this stage, itโ€™s certainly positive to read some in the Labour Party are taking notice. Theyโ€™re right to. Scrapping the disastrous family farm tax would be a much welcome first step in beginning to repair the governmentโ€™s approach to the countryside, ย which for the last two years has been damaging both to rural communities and to Labourโ€™s standing in the countryside. We hope that this marks the start of an urgent reset across rural issues. Damaging policies have hit the countryside hard and alienated rural communities. A shocking 27 damaging policies have been imposed on rural communities since 2024 โ€” from the family farm tax and National Insurance rises, to affordability checks on horse racing, plans to ban trail hunting and restrict game shooting. All of these measures could be avoided or changed, if only their impact on the countryside was understood. Itโ€™s time for a rural reset.

Well done for doing the right thing @alexgeorgiou. A stupid policy. More common sense like this please. Good news for freedom of choice and our farming community.

They took away tallow. We got seed oil. They took away butter. We got margarine. They took away raw milk. We got oat drink. They took away liver. We got iron tablets. They took away bone broth. We got a stock cube. They took away egg yolks. We got egg-white omelettes. They took away cured ham. We got injected reformed pork. They took away aged cheddar in a cloth. We got plastic-wrapped orange rectangles. They took away wool. We got polyester. They took away leather. We got PVC. They took away the back-garden hen and the family cow. We got a four-pint plastic jug. Every product humans had built civilisations on was removed in a single century. Every replacement is patentable, profitable, and slowly making the population sicker. The originals never asked for shelf space, a marketing budget, or your trust. They had it for ten thousand years before any of this began.

Replying to @covidinquiryuk
We now know that the Covid vaccines are neither safe or effective. They do not stop anyone from catching or spreading Covid. The vaccines have no long-term safety data. You have also confirmed that people have been injured and killed by the Covid vaccines. The worst part is that children were given these vaccines, putting their health and lives and risk. Furthermore, the government told 12 to 15 year old children that they could be injected without parental consent. The government chose Pfizer, a company with a long history of criminal fines and medical negligence, as the one to produce the Covid vaccines for children. The UK's Ethics Committee was shut down when it raised concerns about the rollout to children. Scientists across the world have warned of a link between the Covid vaccines and the increase in cases of cancer. The Telegraph reported that the government is withholding data showing a possible link between excess deaths and the Covid vaccines. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The coverup and whitewashing of the unethical and immoral mass vaccination of the population is shocking. All for a virus with an approx' 99.9% survival rate.

Most politicians are just the actors on the stage. You donโ€™t see the scriptwriters, directors and producers who control them.
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡งTUCKER: STARMER IS CLEARLY TAKING ORDERS, NOT ADEQUATE AS LEADER Eva Vlaardingerbroek says Starmer, von der Leyen, Merz, and Macron "literally post the same things" and push the same agenda: erosion of borders, nation states, and heritage. Tucker's take on Starmer: "You will never convince me, at gunpoint even, that Keir Starmer is making independent decisions about the future of Britain. He is taking orders." Who's giving them? Neither claims to know. But Vlaardingerbroek says the people rolling out the agenda "are doing it out in the open, in front of our faces, and they keep getting re-elected."

Iโ€™ve been banned from traveling to the UK. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง No reason given. No right to appeal. Zero due process. Just an email saying the UK government deems me "not conducive to the public good" - exactly three days after I criticized Keir Starmer. I guess my point that the UK is no longer a free country has been indisputably proven.

'I'm in serious trouble if it comes in. It's my entire life.' GB News reporter Will Godley is live in Chipping Norton with trail hunter Amy Aldworth, who says a potential ban on trail hunting is 'her life' and describes the 'devastation' it would cause as 'heartbreaking.'

There are an estimated 20,000 foxhounds in the U.K. Those who want to ban trail hunting - hounds and horses chasing a scent trail laid by man - would lead to them all being put down. Thatโ€™s what ignorant โ€œanimal rightsโ€ campaigners want. 20,000 dead dogs. So hereโ€™s an AI photograph of what a small proportion of that might look like.
