The Healy-Raes are townies. What would they know about farming?!
Which town?

The farmers are right, a lot of them are definitely no longer needed. Beef farming is going to have to be scaled back on drastically for environmental reasons.
Thats probably not what they intended mind you, but it is what it is.
Are they leaving them there? Could do with a pair of tri-colour wellies.

I guess some of them are beef wellingtons…
And there is your headline folks.
Nice one Spud.
wellies before willies and boots before political bootlickers
Very unpleasant people, why can’t they just be happy for the glorified knackeryman Larry Goodman and his family whose wealth quadrupled last year from €0.6m to €2.4bn. Nothing but culchie begrudgery and the IFA definitely definitely has their backs.

A Coveney mightn’t be happy.
But there’ll be a certain Phil Hogan guffawing and snorting in that little Greek restaurant off the Grand Place at them, and us.
Not €0.6 million, €633 million.
Can someone explain to me what apart from state subsides these ‘farmers’ are protesting about? The majority of the human population eat a plant based diet.
What is the problem in Ireland?
