HS2, now that,s proper destruction to say nothing about the colossal waste of money !!

Horrendous the way he’s been treated and lots of people are gloating. As you say, look at the destruction from HS2. 😡

No problem. Next week best.

Thanks, appreciate it Andrew. He's been Fert spreading this week so getting home later. Will it be ok for him to ring you once nearer home, see if convenient with you, thankyou.

👍

Thankyou very much Andrew

To Andrew & Rhonda, Thankyou very much for taking the time to talk to M, he came back looking more positive something haven't seen for a long time. Kind Regards

It's the peoples fault,keep on voting the same parties in, time for a radical change.

My knees and ankles knew how awkward it was when I’d done the walk!

They are self set in flower margins which have been there since 2005. Very proud of them!

What a life!

The Trent is horrendous for silt, not been done for so long. If it was deducted the area wouldn’t flood.

Thanks Charles. It seems to be that everyone has it in for farmers.

@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard Hi Andrew, TBH I am surprised so few people are interested in farming. If farmers stopped working as hard as they do in the UK and around the world most of us would starve to death in a few months. I know most of the UK thinks food comes from supermarkets or food banks. I appreciate your attempt to showcase how farming actually works. Supermarkets are the end of a supply chain which start with people like you risking your money investing in preparing the land, planting, fertilising, harvesting and then selling it to someone further down the supply chain. 40-years ago I did help with some hay baling on a farm. That was hard work and I was just doing a few evenings and weekends. I agree not many people are sympathetic towards farmers, and I think only seeing what farming is really like will that have any chance of changing. I started watching Rice Farming TV Matthew Sligar - he produced a weekly video for a couple of years and built up a following of 50K - then he stopped. His young family might have been the reason. Matthew did get as a consequence of his videos invited on to US Government panels to talk about issues. Please keep the videos coming you are great communicator and I think you will get more people to be sympathetic towards farmers and farming.

Thanks Mathew for your great message, appreciate it. 😊👍

🤣🤣 I wish!

Me too!

Well said Peter RE, arrogant indeed. Comments have mentioned the 'poor farmer' which is irrelevant and ill informed. The Farmers Weekly has just reported his assets were disclosed to be between £21 to £25 Million. I hope he enjoys his stay in prison and reflects on his attitude to the law and gets help with his medical condition, he did very well for himself despite it and therefore it demonstrates how much contempt he had for the law and environment.

His assets will be his farm which he has built up since his father died when John was 15. He’s been an incredible successful farmer through years of graft, risk taking and a sound business head. My point is water companies cause far more damage to wildlife and water and the bosses get huge pay rises! Hundreds of acres of my cousins farm near Lincoln flooded in 2019 through lack of EA maintenance, wildlife killed no compensation to my cousin for ruining crops and field drains, wildlife took 4 months to return: EA incompetence and eyes only on wildlife (which they then killed) not maintenance caused this. The EA need to be accountable but they never are.

I don’t think they are accountable when their lack of maintenance causes huge floods and wildlife destruction such as on my cousins farm in 2019.

@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard . It is interesting how sharing your opinions have brought out the comments on the Lugg case. I sympathise with your cousins and anyone else who has had to deal with flooding. I also commend you and your friends and colleagues at Forage Aid for which you were awarded an MBE. Given our constitution I feel politicians are fair game and need to be questioned with regard to policy and well done to those that do so. However.........how Mr Lugg accrued his money or if anyone has suffered from flooding has to be kept out of it, it is not relevant in any way. The fact the environment might recover has absolutely no relevance to the case either. There is a big difference between wanton destruction and an 'Act of God' lets call it. He blatantly disregarded the law and ignored warnings. He made an example of himself, the perfect one! Nobody forced him to do it, quite the opposite. It is a shame when people let themselves be fooled into joining in on authority bashing when most authorities try to help and use courts as a last resort. If someone is arrogant and wealthy enough then that is when it is decided in court. He took on the authorities and law and lost.

Apparently the EA were shocked at the severity of the sentence. Their lawyers said at worst he would get 12 month suspended. New houses, roads and rail can uproot trees and cause huge destruction to wildlife and environment yet we get the blame for wildlife decline, it really does take some dealing with. Appreciate your comments re Forage Aid, watch here for an announcement in the next month. 😊

@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard I will be watching👍

There's families called Lugg around here, hence my mixing up the river and Mr Price 🙄 I think it's clear what I was saying nonetheless!

I’m going to touch on this at the start of my mid week waffle
