Plus our welfare standards are some of the highest in the world, that's part of the problem with importing so much food - farmers get undercut by food produced to lower standards and of lower quality

It's true that the farming sector is always very vocal about it's interests, as lots of groups are. But that's the same everywhere, just look at how the French farmers protest

Do you actually know any farmers?
They are driving round in hundred grand tractors and range rovers and when they can paying foreigners to do the work

The idea that farmers are the heart and soul of this country is bollox

[Beso]

Driving about in hundred grand tractors...


Yeah, cause that's the price they pay for one single tractor.. how much did Cameron say a combine cost?

All with a tax added no doubt.

[Beso]

I don't know why farmers just dont all sell up and tell us all to **** off with the gratitude shown to them by some quarters.

Yes half my family are farmers and talking to farmers is a big part of my job

[Beso]

2nd highest suicide rates just behind construction workers.

i think people are getting confused. There are hereditary farmers who have been tending the land for generations and then there are rich landowners who pretend to be farmers for the tax breaks. Please do not confuse them because they most certainly are not the same

[Beso]

But but...I've heard some whinge and moan, therefore I must hate alll farmers and show no sympathy or empathy for any off them.
Luckily I don't do the same with Muslims.

Exactly he's conned the housemates with his sob story and some viewers too.

[Zizu]

I’m not sure about all this ..

I will wait until he’s out of the house and able to defend or explain the actual situation .


I have always felt he is a nice, kind , shy guy


Just a pity that he fell hook , line and sinker for Jenny’s womanly ways and the promise of at least one supportive friend ( shame she did him dirty twice)

Farming machinery is just that machinery they need to do the job and yes its expensive unless we want to return to doing everything by hand

Range Rovers were built for the Countryside

Try driving a Ford Fiesta up a hill to check sheep in deepest winter

Funny how no one has an issue with the Chelsea Tractors driving kids to school but have an issue with people in rural areas having Range Rovers ... I literally give up

My Dad was a farmer, my brother is a farmer, I wouldn't swop their lives for all the tea in China, my Dad died prematurely due to hard work and working in cold wet condition and my brother rarely has a day off ...but don't complain!

My closest friend is a retired farmer.. he and his wife ( and kids) didn’t have any holidays in nearly 40 years !!

As a couple they went on loads of holidays when they sold up and retired.. sadly she was riddled with cancer and died after just a few years ..

[Beso]

It will please some she didn't get to benefit from alll that hard work.

If you say so

I'm just giving my opinion based on my experiences and what I've seen and heard, I'm not sure why yours is any more valid
