  1. RE: climatejustice.global/@parents

    "This is an amazing contrast between the pictures and the text of the reporting.

    The journalist is wearing a helmet. We see people throwing objects, fires in the background, smoke, hear muffled explosions (the tear gas being fired?).

    Yet the reporting is indistinguishable from that in a situation where the journalist would be standing e.g. in front of a peaceful crowd holding protest banners.

    I didn't notice a single word addressing the violence, the destruction, the attempted intimidation. Instead the descriptive words are that the farmers are "protesting," they are "not convinced", they are trying to "sway" the EU decision-makers.

    The most blatant example of downplaying and ignoring violence that I've come across in recent months.

    And no, I cannot imagine that the same kind of ostentatious ignorance would be on display if this were a climate protest, or an anti-AfD protest, or a palestinian protest, to name a few.

    How is this anything but blatant journalistic malpractice, Deutsche Welle?

    How does this kind of discrepancy not amount to taking sides where you are supposed to remain neutral?"

  2. It's great to finally see farmers getting some justice after being screwed over by the big supermarkets for so many years (decades). The world needs more legislation like this euronews.com/my-europe/2025/02 #farmersprotest #Farming

  3. See how landowners can get away with an illegal protest and get an apology out of the government unlike say WASPI women, or Climate Campaigners.

    The UK isn't a free country and you don't live in a democracy, just the performance of one to keep the peasants quiet.

  4. When we were in the EU, that organisation that the majority of farmers voted to leave during #Brexit, we reached an all-time high of producing our own food.

  5. I see landowners are protesting again in London, holding up traffic and getting away with it like the rest of us wouldn't

  6. What a surprise, a middle aged white male was behind this anti-social behaviour. I bet he'd vote for a Rapist to 'own the libs' too.

    But he's the only voter Westminster cares about. The rest of us are nothing to them.

  7. America is a lie, Britain is a lie, lies we are so very tired of hearing.

    Only Landowners matter, the rest of us can go to a soggy hell

  8. @HarriettMB @statsguy once again Brexit Britain shuts itself off from the decent world, making us less attractive to investment and to Humanity.

    But the only protest we are allowed is for some Landowners.....it's a fucking joke
