Da iawn! Proper community action for proper community resources!

... the financial contribution figures show the true impact of family farms, but our rural economies are so hollowed out - largely by super-market monopolies and the political demand for cheap food - that their loss would be devastating.

... then we would lose all the knowledge they possess, and all the rural infrastructure around servicing their farms and industry. This would turn vast swathes of the UK, and particularly Wales and SW England into ghost towns inhabited by tourists and good-lifers. I doubt that ...

Both points understandable, but only superficially true. Agribusinesses (shareholder owned) will benefit from the removal of family farms. Most farmers (that I know) would be about even selling their farms and living off investment income, but the value can only be realised by liquidating it all...

The subsidy is needed because we all want cheap food. You can't have your milk for £1 a pint from mostly non-cruel farming practices without subsidising the farmers.

The problem as I see it is that Labour weren't voted in on a string manifesto. Their whole campaign message was "we're not the Tories", so now they have power, they have no real vision, so they're doing some good tinkering. "Not doing *that* bad may be the worst thing a government can do!

Britain hasn't been 'ethnically homogenous' since the Roman colonisation. The guy doesn't even know his own country. Is there a KluKluxKlan adjacent #muppet?

The mad thing about the Motability-hate is that Motability users pay for their cars. If they want something 'nice' it's more expensive than something more standard. I sometimes wonder if the government understand this. Reform certainly don't seem to.

But surely the metric should be 'percentage of your remaining life. If you're 40, then it's 0.0002854%, and every single day, the percentage gets larger.

If you *live in* Wales, this is what you expect from the BBC. Their definition of 'interesting' is 'if it reaches London's radar'. And, yes, I am talking about BBC Wales, unfortunately.

Looks like 'not', sorry. But it was worth a try.

Do you know anyone, @ian.spennys.world ?

Beautiful, Eoghan! We have small patches of this on the west coast of Wales as well. The most awesomely peaceful places where even the rain is perfect.
