The eco-elites’ insane war on farming
How extraordinary that farmers have to fight for the right to farm. That the people who make our food have to assemble to say: 'Let us carry on making your food.' It is a testament to the unreason of public life in the 2020s that the cultivation of land, breeding of livestock and production of dairy and meat – all things we once celebrated – are now 'vilified' as a pox on nature. The protesting Irish farmers are not only striking a blow against the Net Zero delusions of Dublin elites who've probably never set foot on a farm – they're also standing up for reason and modernity. They are defending the view of agriculture as a force for good, a force for civilisation, against an establishment that is now so in thrall to the neo-religion of Net Zero that it sees every human interference in nature, even farming, as a wicked thing to be curtailed.
