FARMERS LAST STAND.

Unfortunately I was unable to join the modern day heroes who protested on behalf of rural Ireland and all rural dwellers in Dublin city today.
As one would expect these modern day Robins Hoods were largely derided by the usual sneering reporters who infest RTE by asking passers bye stupid and inane questions about how they felt about the delays they were experiencing and making no real effort to get to the core issues.
But this is what I  expect from these fools who think that the world begins and ends within  the confines of the two canals.
The matter can be summed up quite easily as follows|:-
IN 1983 a good continental calf could be bought at 180.00 PUNTS.which translates to E.250.00.Today it can be bought for the same price.
In 1983 a new car cost c.6,000.00 ,about 8,300.00 in Euros.Today it costs over 20,000.00 Euros if you can get it at that.
The bald fact is that we farmers produce food at far too low a price and should be charging and getting four or five times what we are getting at the moment.
These environmentalists and others who regard us as disposable parasites might have the sneers on the other sides of their faces were we to charge the true value of our produce.
They might find that the nonsensical prices they pay for their beloved mobiles and such like ought go on the basics like food.
I  think that we should go on strike and with hold food of all sorts until we get a fair deal.
We might be hung for a sheep as for a lamb.
These farmer haters who infest the media actually despise human brigs .You never see a human being living on the land in any of these programmers which promote animal  and plant welfare over human needs.
That Liz Bonin as sanitation piece on farmer husbandry shown on BBC this week is a case in point.
She wants us to be disposable human flotsam,like many excuses for reporters who infest the media.
