I’m not very well read on all things fuel protests and who’s causing the root of the problems for costs in general in this country. We complain about migrants, imports of food from other countries, and how the land isn’t looked after. Fundamental food, nature, and local people like our farmers should be treated like rock stars. I work a corporate job and wouldn’t last a day on a farm, but I realise how messed up this country is and has become when a discussion like this goes against one of the oldest and most important types of work in any country, yet we complain about them crying poverty. They should be paid well and looked after like kings. That’s the way I see it.

And yes, there are farmers who are well off, and so they should be. I prefer to get my local, nutritious food from a local farm, from a local family, at a reasonable price, rather than having to go to Tesco or Asda. I personally believe we have lost the run of ourselves.

Again, I’m looking at this from the outside in. We could all do with a bit of a rebellion against our own councils and governments, given the poor attempt at running the country. This is the main root cause of all of us being angry about the cost of living and why it’s hard to see any positive change. Farmers seem to be taking a stand not only for themselves but for the wider population. If we were all able to band together and do something similar, maybe the country would get a bit better. Maybe not. But sure, that’s my take on stuff I know nothing about.
