The farmer revolt against globalist and green agenda policies descended upon London on Monday as a tractor convoy of British farmers flooded into Parliament Square to pressure the government ahead of the upcoming general election, claiming they were “betrayed” by the Tories after Brexit.
British farmers argue that while they are held to a very high standard, in terms of labour, environment, and health regulations, the imported agricultural products can be produced in countries with lower standards, meaning that the food can be produced at a cheaper cost and undercut the prices of local produce.
LONDON, ENGLAND – MARCH 25: Farmers holding banners and placards and driving tractors gather at Parliament Square during a demonstration organised by Save British Farming against UK food policy, substandard imports and stricter food labelling regulations, as they call for the government to act to save British farming, in central London, United Kingdom on March 25, 2024.
Others have noted that much of the so-called farming subsidies are actually being directed towards paying farmers not to farm, but rather to re-establish natural habitats, thereby reducing the money actually being funnelled into the actual process of productive, food-bearing farming.
