Up north this week myself. All anyone is talking about is the price of diesel! Almost all anyway, no love for any politicians in Caithness anyway

I want to have sympathy, I really do but Farmers aren't alone here. Everyone is suffering but repeatedly over the years Farmers have voted for their own interests against the rest of us, Brexit being a key one but also they keep voting for the Conservatives for example.

You also hear the things they say about "immigrants" at trade shows and then you tack on "No Farmers, No Food", I mean, that's not really true. Individual farmers will just be replaced with one of the laege groups or conglomerates. Now, that's not good for land management and nature oe local economies but it's what would happen. Even the inheritance tax foot stamping was ridiculous.

Then they want the rest of us to support them? I mean, it's a hard ask at times not gonna lie.
