But the non-farmer protesters are getting arrested while the farmers are breaking plenty of laws (road/obstruction) and the government is afraid to touch them.

Now the farmers are hanging nooses everywhere and trying to compare themselves with the Jews in WW2. I'm inclined to think that being forced to reduce your business production by 20-40% is not quite the same as being captured and put into a gas chamber to die.

But you have to be ready to make sacrifices for your ideals. I didn't say it's gonna be easy.

I grew up in England in the 1980s, and if there was one thing which Thatcher did which was absolutely correct it was standing up to the Coal Unions.

The government needs to stand up to these thugs.
