It will work out. Forever the optimist. In the 70's I bought 7 acres and 100 sows. Lived in a 12' x18' shack long enough for council to allow a caravan. Then in the 80's brought up two babies in an old caravan, 13 years with no drainage or running water or heating . Tough. Now have 40 acres with 3 farm cottages for the children, and my cows. Fortunate to have a good wife. There is hope, good luck to those brave souls starting out on the journey today, it's well worth the struggle.

Thank you so much for your message of support. I would always be happy to join you on your podcast. I’m always keen to share our story so other farmers don’t feel they’re alone in their struggles. We all struggle in silence too often!

What a terrible experience. Hoping for better days for you. Thank you for writing about it. I wasn't aware of this issue, being from the US.

What infuriates me is that Mr Taylor Wimpy or Mr Charles Church will get planning for 128 newbuilds packed in like battery houses.

People living and working constructively on their own land, not so much.

I wonder why? 💷💷💷💷

If you control the food you control the people. We’ll all be boxed in housing estates living off lab grown meat if the government had it there way. Earning the highest possible income from us by taxing us into our graves while they line their own pockets

Sometimes they do what they want with bad motivation. I know myself.....

IN DAVENPORT IOWA THE MOST RACE HATRED ETHNIC HATRED RELIGIOUS HATRED AKA WHITE SUPREMACIST CITY GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD.

THE SITE OF THE MOST BIZARRE WHITE SUPREMACIST HATE CRIMES AND ABUSE OF CITY GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

where I'm an city code enforcement inspectors and lawyers and mayor literally say out loud that "we have different rules for lowlifes in lowlife neighborhoods and higher class citizens In higher class neighborhoods."

And " I can't be nice to you because the mayor directed me and my department to come down hard on the lowlifes."

They declared gardening illegal in my yard and destroyed literally destroyed all my gardens my tomato cages my trellises 4 fruit trees...they literally pulled blueberry and other plants out by the roots.

OF COURSE THEY ALSO DESTROYED MY NATIVE AMERICAN RELIGIOUS ARTWORK IN THE "PRIVACY" OF MY YARD AND INHERITED NATIVITY SCENE. THEY EVEN DECLARED IT ILLEGAL IN MY YARD ONLY TO HANG LAUNDRY OUT TO DRY. THE SUPERVISOR OF CODE ENFORCEMENT AND PARKING LOTS BETH BRINGOLF SAID IN FRONT OF POLICE SUPERVISOR ANDREW HARRIS....."EVERY TIME I JUMP THE FENCE INTO YOUR BACK YARD I TELL YOU I DON'T LIKE LOOKING AT YOU HANGING YOUR CLOTHES OUT TO DRY."

JULY 6 2023 THE HATEFIILLED POLICE SUPERVISOR ANDREW HARRIS LITERALLY TOLD ME THAT IT IS LEGAL FOR THE POLICE CHEIF SND AND OTHERS TO HANG THEIR CLOTHES OUT TO DRY BUT...."BETH GETS TO DESTROY WHATEVER BETH WANTS TO DESTROY". ANDREW HARRIS SAID IF THE POLICE CHEIF HUNG HIS LAUNDRY OUT TO DRY HE WOULD ARREST ANYONE WHO DESTROYED THE POLICE CHEIF JEFFREY BLADEL'S CLOTHES. HE LAUGHED LIKE WHAT I MIGHT IMAGINE A GERMAN POLICEMAN IN 1930S GERMANY MIGHT LAUGH DOING THIS TO SOMEONE JEWISH.

I WAS FORCED TO WATCH THEM LITERALLY TAKING MY CLOTHES OFF THE CLOTHESLINE AND PUT IN THE GARBAGE TRUCK WITH MY HAMPERS AND BASKET. THEY EVEN TOOK EVERY SINGLE CLOTHES PIN OFF THE CLOTHESLINE.

ALL OF THIS IS TRUE.

So you may or may not have a chance to win. Sometimes bad evil people are in charge and somehow free to do anything they want to....

You would think one of those judges would ask if they were being humane

Expand full comment

You would think that. The fact that our local council made us and our 9 month old child (at the time) homeless was never of interest to any judge. It’s always been about upholding the system and having confidence in the planning system and the “harm” we have done to our neighbours. Our first son is now 3 and are still homeless in our caravan… what about the harm to our family and our farm

Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!” (ISAIAH 5:8)

I am simply astounded at the breathtaking cruelty you, and your young family are suffering due to the collusion of ‘neighbours,’ a local government and the misanthropic inversion once known as the ‘justice system.’ This gleeful, covetous public interference with your private property ranks on par with the experiences of my farming friends in Zimbabwe during Comrade Robert Mugabe’s ‘land redistribution programme.’

Unlike the Zim farm invasions, they haven’t beaten up your family yet or tried to murder your husband, but they have actually invaded your property and from an outside observer’s view of the content of your article, they’re malevolently working on accelerating to the next steps against you.

Communists and their ideological penchant for centralised planning always transition into violence against the individual ( with a special focus on farmers because they have both independence and power) resulting in the wider consequence of man made famine because, in the words of James Lindsay: “Reality always vetoes Lysenkoism.” The truth of Reality exposes how much they’re really lying -and they’re prepared to steal and kill to protect the lie. Rather chillingly, I had a vivid dream last week about famine in England. People were lining up in the dark to receive either just a cup of rice, or just a cup of oats.

Be that as it may, in the immediate future it looks alarmingly like your family is in danger from a number of different sources. To protect yourselves, it may be prudent to get your paperwork in order asap with a view to having the option to leave a disreputable country that deserves neither you, your children, your mutual skills or the fruits of the abundant future that The Good Lord intends for you.

Here’s a little encouragement for 2025 to consider:

Oh no- this is just dreadful. I wish I could spirit you all across to my farm here. What an awful story. Where are you living now?
