I note the BBC are running this story about a farmer who has been “murdered”. It is suggested to me that the man concerned may have been run down and killed by thieves who COULD be of the “traveller” persuasion. Given the anxiety that this sort of incident has on our farmers, one would think the BBC would pursue the story rather more vigorously but then again who knows where that might lead? Instead this is conveniently tucked away in the Sussex section, next to an item concerning Winnie the Pooh stamps.

I know that Biased BBC has quite a few readers involved in farming. A very noble but challenging activity but not one the BBC has much sympathy for – unless, of course, it is about environmentalism rather than producing food! Listened to an item this morning on Today @ 7.16am which was all about the link-up between farmers and environmentalists, aimed at squeezing more cash from Brussels in exchange for farmers…erm, not farming. Through the BBC prism, one could be forgiven for thinking that our farmers are some sort of legion of tractorised eco-warriors!
