19 November - Stuck Farmers

Farmer's protestYou can see where I have been this morning, sorry for the absolutely crap photos; I did not want to appear too conspicuous with the SLR and my six year old phone is not very responsive to the shutter button, or in fact anything else. I have just bought a new one but yet to bring it fully into use; and would it be wise to take an expensive phone into Khan’s London?

However that is my excuse for not being able to provide a photo of Kemi Badenoch. I took several but none hit the phone’s memory.

I arrived round about 10:45 and somehow got swept forward to within 100 feet of the stage. The speeches went on for almost an hour and a half, mainly ordinary working farmers but also including not only Kemi but a couple of her Shadow Cabinet, Ed Davey and Jeremy Clarkson.

Particularly notable was a Labour Baroness who spoke about Reeves’s budget being not only fundamentally unfair but also politically stupid. She related the number of rural MPs Labour needs to get into power and they will never get them again.

There was supposed to be a march down Whitehall to Parliament Square after the speeches but as it was already jam packed with men in Wellies that was not very practical and officially called off. I made my way in the other direction to Charing Cross Station.

The news since getting home is that there was some sort of march but I have yet to see the pictures.

Kemi Badenoch Farmer's protest Free cap With the almost constant rain and umbrellas being somewhat anti-social I was very grateful to the lady handing out free Support Farmers cap.

When I have dried it out I will post a photo of it here.

It seems to me that a determined and powerful farmers’ lobby represents the best way of bringing down this wicked lying Labour Government and getting rid of everyone local who supports their dishonesty and cruelty.

The Met police were there in large numbers but only to try to keep the road clear. They must have given up at some stage because buses stopped running.
