Good for farming and the community. Would be great to see this all round the UK🇬🇧🐑🐄🐂🚜🌾🐓🐖

You won't stop the carnage we see in France by passing a few immigration reforms -- as British politicians are now suggesting.

Tighten immigration, sure. But the problem we face is much bigger than this.

What we are witnessing is a highly-coordinated, deeply ideological and concerted war on not just France but the West more broadly.

At the heart of it is a 'Red-Green' alliance of left-wing extremists, Islamists, and the Palestinian movement that has now morphed into a revolutionary movement.

It wants nothing less than the destruction, dismantling, or 'deconstruction' of Western civilisation.

And it is benefitting from a wider circle of 'tacit support' within our own Western institutions -- our schools, universities, media, publishing, and more.

These activists are now exploiting a West that has become dangerously divided, deluded, & demoralised.

While the West has certainly eroded itself and emboldened its enemies through mass immigration and broken borders, it has also taken a sledgehammer to its own foundations by teaching its own young people to hate who they are -- to hate their own history, culture, identity, and inheritance.

Scruton called this Oikophobia. Furedi called it the war against our past. In France, Philippe de Villiers calls it 'Memoricide'. The stripping away of any sense of who we are. It is cultural vandalism against ourselves.

China, Russia, Islamic states, they are all laughing at us.

We have cut our own young people off from the West's distinctive and proud history by either telling them our nations are racist and embarrassing or bombarding them with historically illiterate documentaries and Netflix shows that present the West as evil.

Unsurprisingly, they now feel little attachment or loyalty to their own nations while many young people today, put simply, don't even know who they are.

With no strong sense of national identity, and no real understanding of where they are from or what their ancestors built, they have become completely disoriented, bobbing around on a sea of globalism and phone-induced narcissism.

The young French destroy their country because they feel no loyalty to their country.

Somebody said to me recently the West resembles a bouquet of flowers on the mantlepiece -- it is still beautiful but if you look closely it's roots have been cut off and it is now slowly dying in the vase.

In the first instance, France is suffering the effects of all this, looking on at a generation that clearly hate its own nation or at least feel no attachment to it.

But this deeper malaise is now visible in pretty much every Western state today, having been encouraged by a political class that decided it was a good idea to redefine Western nations as empty vessels that are merely here to show empathy towards everybody else.

Immigration reforms might help but what we are facing now is actually much bigger than any of that.

As Scruton, Furedi, Caldwall, Phillips, Murray, Lasch and others have been warning us for many many years, there is a war against the West and before it even really begins we are already helping our enemies by cutting off our own legs.

Today it is France, tomorrow it will be everywhere.

The funniest maths in modern environmentalism.

One almond requires 12 litres of irrigated water to produce. Peer-reviewed, ScienceDirect, 2017. A glass of almond milk contains roughly 50 of them. 600 litres of water before the carton is filled.

The water comes from the San Joaquin Valley in California, which sits over one of the most over-extracted aquifers on earth. The valley floor has subsided by up to nine metres in places due to groundwater depletion. The carton is then refrigerated, sailed across the Atlantic, refrigerated again, lorried to a Manchester Tesco, and bought by someone who is concerned about the environmental impact of dairy.

Meanwhile, in Cheshire.

A British dairy cow drinks roughly 70 to 100 litres of water a day and produces around 28 litres of milk. That's about 3.5 litres of water per litre of milk. The water is rainwater that fell on her field or came from a local stream fed by the same rainwater. The rain was going to fall on the field whether the cow stood in it or not. 80% of her moisture intake comes from the grass itself, which is also rain.

She converts the grass, free of charge, into a litre of milk containing seven times the protein and four times the calcium of almond milk, and shipped roughly 18 miles to the same Tesco.

To recap.

600 litres of stolen aquifer, flown halfway round the world for nutritionally worthless beige water.

Or 3.5 litres of rain that was already falling, converted by an animal you can pet, into actual food.

The shopper picks the almond.

She has been told this is the ethical position.

The aquifer would like a word.

@herdyshepherd1 I can see why you would have mixed feelings about it, but it’s correct ✅

HELP! The Govt rushed through Inheritance Tax changes with no proper consultation. Family farms & businesses are at risk. Jobs, heritage & communities will be lost. I’m taking them to Judicial Review — please support 👉 https://t.co/JN2OdKCaUY

In a report commissioned from CBI Economics, evidence suggests (to nobody's surprise) that rather than increasing tax take, the proposed changes to APR/BPR will overall lead to a net loss of £1.9bn over the Parliament.

Keir Starmer explained to the Gov't Liaison Committee that this was a revenue-raising measure and nothing more. Given the evidence shows it will actually cost the Treasury money, the best thing to do now would be to reverse the proposal.

@GeorgeR21234525 I don’t understand this

It’s like saying we don’t need nurses because some of them voted for BREXIT

It is nonsense

Even if all nurses voted for BREXIT we’d still need healthcare and in it lots of nurses

We wouldn’t then say ‘oh, nurses had it coming’

The family farm tax is a disaster for Britain's food security and will rob many young people of the opportunity to farm.

If you agree with the @LibDems that the Government should axe the family farm tax then please sign and share our petition today: https://t.co/53jK5EIB14

The latest goverment guff about farming is…

“The problem with farming is the lack of profitability”

This is a short thread on why this sensible-sounding focus should be treated with great suspicion…

£2.5bn for British steel. That’s the same as the annual budget for agriculture….

Steel industry employs 33,700 - contributes £1.8bn to the economy 🏭

Agriculture employs 285,000 - contributes £13.7bn to the economy 🌾

[Joe Stanley @JoeWStanley]

Steel is important.

Food more so.

Why are they straining every sinew to save one, and destroy the other?

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

Supply down
Demand rising
Cost up

Food price inflation is gonna get off the chart soon - total insanity
