There will shortly be hundreds of thousands having the whole week off and on the dole……

Stop the freehand outs. Make them work.

We shouldnt be giving money to millionaires when we've got homeless veterans.

All down in London, mid week, wearing Barbour jackets and riding quarter of a million £ tractors.

Marching through the streets slowly, blocking ambulances.

Etc etc etc

How Ironic that this Orwellian type prediction was posted on page 1984 of this thread

I'd dip test all of those lovely shiny tractors and fine every one found to be using red diesel for a non-work trip, could raise a few more for the public coffers!

Weird, tractors that look as if they have never seen mud or muck with German number plates.

Pete, we can't all be like you.

Nouveau riche, moved to rural Leicestershire and propping up the village with your largesse.

I'm fully expecting the revelation that you have brought a local farm too. To prop up jobs and preserve a community asset. At a loss.

The truly big reveal is to come. Pete is really.....

I own multiple houses, in the countryside and the city, but I also own a farm.

I was out with my Barbour jacket yesterday in solidarity.

Volunteers wanted!

Jeremy Clarkson submits plans to extend pub in Cotswolds

The former Top Gear presenter submits plans for a "modest" extension after the pub opened in August.

Wasn't there a statutory instrument introduced by the last goverment that allowed farmers to convert agricultural buildings without planning permission.

The ditty please, and that ai person reminds me of someone, but who...?

"Keir Starmer, in Pyjamas, is coming down the stairs"

Bunch of philistines in here.

Is the new rule you can only comment on where you live now ? Sadiq khan will be massively relieved you’ll be stopping your frequent rants about him and London .

Just stop oil should do a sit down protest in front of the slow moving farmers.

That could really test the journalistic flexibility of the Telegraph and the Mail.

I put a tractor as my profile picture and the adverts immediately start advertising Fortnum and Mason at me.

They know their audience.

How can they shop there on £25k a year ?

It's interesting with the farmer protests and the NFU

Recently Labour dropped their commitment to expanding the right to roam in England & Wales due to a campaign of lobbying by the NFU on behalf of landowners.

As a farmer/land stakeholder myself I am very disappointed by this as I really believe in land access and the right to roam is an important aspect of getting people more involved and active in the countryside

But it's very interesting that at this time the NFU are currently demanding public support for themselves and landowners while at the same time actively lobbying to prevent the same members of the public having more access to nature

I appreciate those around farming have took a kicking in this thread lately and I’ve certainly been involved. Immediately post budget I was in a position where I was willing even leaning to be persuaded that farming was , for a few reasons a special case . Since then the NFU and those protesting seem to have had a conveyor belt of millionaires, I don’t even mean people with a couple of mil , pleading poverty and the likes of Clarkson fighting their cause . I can only speak for me and my social circle but it feels like a massive own goal .
