In this episode of the Shelley Tasker Show, we delve into the events of the past week, focusing on a rally organised to support local and national farmers. Despite the challenging weather, the turnout was impressive, demonstrating strong public support for the farming community. Our guests, Jo Wood, Al von Curt , and Mallifucus Scott, share their experiences and insights from the rally, highlighting the importance of backing farmers who are facing increasing pressures from government policies.
We discuss the broader implications of these policies, including the impact of inheritance tax and the centralisation of food production. The conversation touches on historical parallels, with references to speeches from the 1930s about manufactured shortages and the consolidation of resources.
The episode also explores the role of media and public figures in raising awareness about these issues. We reflect on the presence of the BBC at the rally and the involvement of high-profile individuals like Jeremy Clarkson in the discourse around farming and land ownership.
As the discussion unfolds, we consider the global context of these challenges, drawing connections between local events and international trends in land acquisition and food security. The episode concludes with a call to action, encouraging continued support for farmers and vigilance against policies that threaten their livelihoods.
