This is a New Attack on Starmer.
They have been there since 4AM today

So far, only on GB News are covering this.


[Around 32 independent farmers used tractors
to stage an overnight
blockade of three major supermarket distribution
centres in Northamptonshire,
specifically targeting two Tesco depots
and one Sainsbury's site in the Daventry area.]


[The farmers, who were from six different counties,
were demanding fairer farmgate prices
and protesting against what they described as
"unfair supermarket buying practices".

Key grievances include:

Low Farmgate Prices and High Costs: Farmers reported
that rising production costs and static prices for their
produce are pushing many businesses to the brink,
while supermarkets make record profits.

Unfair Competition: Protesters argued that retailers
are selling imported food below the cost of UK production.
Government Policies: The blockades were also
a protest against government actions,
including proposed inheritance tax (IHT) changes
that farmers feared would lead to the forced sale
and breakup of family farms.]

Still whinging.
These miserable lot get right on my nerves.

They do have a strong point on prices which has been the case for decades however.

Supermarkets are not paying Farmers enough

When you are paying 7p for a bag of parsnips someone's being screwed and it's not the supermarkets

Yeah they're so unreasonable; wanting to feed the country, and paid for doing so and allowing their offspring to do the same without having their ability to do so taken away.

Selfish bastards.

Great Point Cherie

I back the farmers 100%. What is it with Labour, trying to antagonise people we rely on to feed us? Labour's contempt for certain sections of our society is ensuring they will never be elected to power again.

It's like the Feudal System, with the serfs being told to stay in their place.

Yes it is. Remember when Labour used to represent the rights of British workers? Seems a long time ago...
