Blame it on Biden. Oh, wait, it's the UK. So, yeah Republicans will still blame Biden

To be clelar for anyone just skimming the article... It's UK Farmers.

I guess they could have had more support if they didn't Brexit...

Do you think the UK sometimes sits up late at night with a bottle of whisky and stalks the EU on social media?

Pretty embarrassing when they accidentally like a 200 year old post with bikini pics.

200 year old post with bikini pics.

Bikini? Don't you mean ankle pics?

NegativeInf ,

Ahh. Those foxy ankle daguerreotypes.

I wish people would stop going on about Brexit. It was what the people wanted. Literally every single brown """person""" has left the country and we don't have any EU overlords shoving their rules down our throats. Every other aspect of our life bring worse and facing food shortages is a small price to pay

"what the people wanted"? I'm going to assume you dropped the /s tag since the morning AFTER the vote the biggest Google searches in the UK were "What is the EU?" and "What is Brexit?"

I am being sarcastic. We have a brown person as our prime minister, after all

RunawayFixer ,

There are people who actually believe what you had posted, so without additional cues that it's intended as sarcasm (like starting with Hur Dur or ending with /s), it's anyone's guess what you actually meant. In person sarcasm works better because we can easily add physical cues, but on the internet it's best made very obvious imo.

And they want to put solar farms on the fields that grow food.

This entire concept has been studied extensively in China, and the conclusion has been that the yield is vastly overclaimed when solar panels are deployed on productive soil.

You'll excuse me if I don't believe a PRC source posted on lemmy.ml.

As a matter of course I don't trust things that China says.

Mr Stanley said farms were facing “an existential moment” because of the changing climate, which could put many out of business, reducing UK food security.

“The problem that we’re facing is that weather is becoming so extreme that it is overwhelming our ability as farmers to continue to grow crops at all in some places,” he said.

Yes, but let's not lose sight of what's really important, by sacrificing the planet we've successfully prevented a few billionaires from having to sell their yachts.

While I’m not saying the farmer quote shares this belief but it’s hard to take when there have been so many “farmers protests” about changes to subsidies linked to reducing emissions and planting more trees
