Stel je voor: je hebt je hele leven keihard gewerkt op het bedrijf dat al generaties in de familie is. En dan komt de overheid zeggen dat je vergunning ongeldig is. Je gaat naar de rechter vol hoop, maar die bevestigt het vonnis. Je mag niet meer boeren. De bank laat je ook nog eens vallen. Je voelt je machteloos, verraden en woedend tegelijk. Je hele bestaan, je identiteit, je erfenis wordt je afgenomen. Dat is wat duizenden boeren nu meemaken. En dat in hun eigen land.

Well said Ian Botham: “Whitehall is turning England into a tinderbox. Defra’s response to climate change has been to sharply increase vegetation. Over the past 20 years its cuts in upland cattle and sheep grazing led to a 25 per cent increase in highly flammable grass. Another genius move has been to stop preventative burning of heather. During damp winter months these burns safely prune the dead material which is then replaced by younger plants. It is the dead heather that is combustible. And thanks to Defra we now have 74 per cent more of it. The winter burns used to create firebreaks. Now we have huge expanses of continuous, ageing vegetation. The result is disaster after disaster. When Downing Street starts asking questions of Defra, jaws will drop. Why did it further restrict winter burns despite the National Fire Chiefs Council warning this risked the lives of "firefighters and the public"? How come it also ignored the pleading of top wildfire scientists not to go ahead? In 2007, officials said that stopping winter burns would produce "a much increased risk" of wildfires. Which is exactly what we are getting. Rewilded land going up in smoke. Other countries have learnt the hard way. Australia and California tried suppressing the prescribed burns that indigenous people had used for tens of thousands of years. By some calculations, dozens died before their governments saw sense. What will it take for ours to wake up? This is a crisis caused by years of Whitehall grabbing power away from the countryside.”

If the Labour government can not commit to stopping the invasion of our country then I can not commit to funding our government with anymore tax. Time to defund Labour

This is one of the many advantages of direct drilling using tall stubbles and cover crops. The English grey partridge population is recovering

Replying to @MayorOfWY
@MayorOfWY any chance of diverting some resources/investment/interest into ensuring footpaths along major routes are navigable? Leeds city council seem to have forgotten they have a responsibility to keep footpaths clear!
