I heard of one farmer cant remember where might have been Cornwall, sprayed the local tax office using the dung spreader!!

french farmers have always quick to do this sort of thing , but not burning down goverment offices, this is new for them and if it catches on in the uk our goverment will suffer, mainly because they are used to trouble in big citys not in the countryside they would find it hard to cope with a police force down in numbers buy 20.000.

I used to live in Brittany, and the farmers were regularly up to these little tricks. They found it the best way to get the Government's attention. I'm not sure it would happen here; things work in a different way.

The stiff upper lip is loosening. Gone are the days when we just got on with it our general population is a bunch of whingey whiney wimps. We have diluted our stock with some of the dregs of humanity who are quite happy to kill and main. Only problem is so far they choose the wrong targets. I can see it happening here sooner than you think.

don't forget the Anarchy lot and the rent a mob, I really don't see a big protest like the riots a few years ago, its already getting a bit cold for the little dears but heck I could be wrong!

Its about bloody time for our farmers to get off their arses and stand Up like men and walk the walk and forget the talk..... fight or loose your farm.....which is it !.
