Forcing farmers to give up a fifth of their land, imperilling Britain's food production
Games of ‘cat and mouse’ played out on the highways and byways of North Wales this week. The ‘cat,’ or rather cats, drove great big tractors. The ‘mouse’ was Mark Drakeford, the country’s outgoing First Minister, who was attempting to conduct farewell tour of rural provinces.
Predator finally nailed prey in Rhyl, a grim seaside resort which, after 25 years of rule by Mr Drakeford’s Labour Party, has achieved the distinction of being not only the most deprived town in Wales but the second most crime-ridden in the entire UK.
200 farmers gathered outside the local sixth form college, where the First Minister was due to open a new engineering building on Wednesday.
As his motorcade swept past, they jeered, booed and honked the air horns of dozens of tractors parked up on narrow pavements. Then, to the consternation of police, the crowd swept through the venue’s gates and gathered outside the front door.
When Mr Drakeford left, the whole thing played out in reverse, with evening news cameras on hand to capture his diesel-guzzling Volvo fleeing the scene.
The peasants west of Offa’s Dyke are revolting. Enormous crowd, many travelling in free coaches laid on by livestock auctioneers, will converge on the Senedd, or Welsh Parliament, in central Cardiff on Wednesday, where Mr Drakeford’s senior lieutenants are due to discuss rural affairs.
So could this be a Celtic variant of the enormous ‘farmer protests’ that recently brought much of Europe to a halt?
Having spent my week visiting the increasingly febrile frontlines, I can say one thing with absolute confidence: while agricultural machines aren’t yet blocking motorways, much of Wales — especially the green bits — are already a no-go area for Labour’s ruling class.

‘Wherever Drakeford and his colleagues go, they will find tractors on the roads and people on the streets,’ says Steve Evans, a Pembrokeshire dairy producer who is a leading figure in the movement. ‘The longer they refuse to listen, the bigger the protests will grow. I’ve been farming my whole life, and have never known anger like it.’
These eco-idiots harassing European farmers. The lowest of the low/ Dumb as rocks. Much of their motivation is veganism and so called plant based diets.

No. They have an engineered famine agenda.
As Communist Regimes have used many times in the past.
there is no tyranny that cannot be justified by ‘CLIMATE’ !

Just wondering how much Secret Service kind of protection these lower level globalist minions get. Keep destroying peoples lives, and eventually…
Oh, never mind… I wouldn’t want to be stochastic or anything.
If they plant nothing, collect unemployment and see what happens to the liberals that would be awesome.
I moved to the UK in 1980 and lived there 5 years. Afterward spent much time there on extended business trips.
Britain of the early 1980s was able to pretty much feed the country, supplemented by imports they could afford.
That was not the case during and after WW2 when rationing was widespread and necessary. Why in the world would a nation want to not feed its own people?
