Farmers have always toiled and continue to do so, to supply food from field to folk while also maintaining our ‘green and pleasant land’, and supporting the environment, flora, and fauna. I wonder if politicians really understand or appreciate this.
It appears this Government intends to ensure that farmers prop up the ‘state’, by subsidising the public’s food. Unlike farmers across Europe, the USA and elsewhere with whom we compete, British farmers receive no financial support or encouragement to produce food.
Farmers are being kicked in the teeth having had SFI 2024, created to replace the Single Farm Payment, pulled with just 30 minutes warning.
Agricultural Property Relief (APR) designed to help farmers and landowners transfer land and associated assets to the next generation without facing a high tax burden, is now subject to 20 percent tax as from March 2026. Yet another form of land nationalisation by the back door. The fallout of this will escalate, lives will be lost, and farm businesses will collapse.
We are now told Angela Raynor has decided that farmers will prop up the State by allowing councils to compulsory purchase farmland at agricultural value. Developers will build houses on cheap land to hit the government’s targets. However, it is very unlikely the young and first-time buyers will be able to afford them.
The debate about whether school children should be allowed to have mobile phones in the classroom or at all until they are at least 16, rumbles on. The air waves are thick with opinions from all walks of life discussing the pros and cons of access to inappropriate content which vulnerable children should not be exposed to.
Last week we were told that a high percentage of children as young as 8 are watching extreme pornographic images, and teachers are reporting that boys of this age are already becoming aggressive and misogynist as a result.
Social media and the WWW are clearly no place for children to go unsupervised. They can very quickly be taken down rabbit holes which turn ugly and damaging to young minds. I hear from friends who teach in primary schools that five-year-olds start school having not acquired the art of conversation, and they speak with American accents, picked up as they spend more time on screen than talking to their family. Their ability to concentrate is almost zero and increasingly children are being diagnosed with ADHD.
It is disturbing that there is almost total radio silence about the very real problems caused to children by being exposed to man-made electromagnetic radiation (EMR) As well as protecting children from the content of what they see on mobile devices, we should be fighting to protect them and the public in general from the damaging radiation from mobile phones. These devices, radio masts, and the thousands of satellites hovering just 250 miles above us are raining down electromagnetic radiation.
The battle between the health of the nation and offering connectivity is being fought out behind closed doors or maybe not at all. Why have governments of all colours not addressed this matter. I suspect they are concerned about the fallout that any negative publicity would have on multi-million-pound companies which promote and market mobile connectivity.
The result of this bombardment of electrical emissions is being monitored and noted as the alarming decline in the cognitive health of the millennial generation which has lived with life-long exposure to mobile phones, radio masts and satellites. Previous generations who were not exposed to electromagnetic radiation, mobile phones as babies and during their childhood do not present with the same attention deficit conditions.
This subject is huge, one which appears not to be taken seriously enough. As well as affecting humans, there has been a catastrophic decline in insects and bugs. We have all noticed the lack of splattered bugs on our car windscreen, the fault we are told is down to farmers’ use of pesticides. No, the pesticides farmers have used for decades are so diluted compared to the lethal stuff used post war.
There are also the declining numbers of birds both migrating and domestic. When the very bugs they feed on are reduced by as much as 85%, and many heading back to our shores from the southern hemisphere are confused by EMR which interfere with their natural navigation systems, the results are catastrophic.
Examples of this disruption are included in a presentation in 2017 by Mark Broomhall to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) on the exodus of so many species of wildlife from Nightcap National Heritage area on Mount Nardi in Australia.
He lived on Mount Nardi for more than forty years. After antennas for 3G cell phones were installed on Mount Nardi communications tower in 2002, he saw an immediate decline in insect population. In 2009, when “enhanced 3G” was added to the tower, along with channels for 150 television stations, 27 bird species left the mountain. In early 2013, when 4G was installed a further 49 bird species left, all bat species became scares, four common species of cicada almost disappeared, frog populations were drastically reduced, and the massive and diverse populations of moths, butterflies, and ants became uncommon to rare.
While Mark Broomhall presented his report, people all over the world woke up to the fact that their car windscreens were not being splattered with tiny life, and that insects of all kinds were disappearing from the earth.
In 2017, scientists reported a 75 to 80 percent decline in total flying insects in 63 nature protection areas in Germany. In 2018, another group of scientists reported 97 to 98 percent decline in total insects caught in sticky traps in a Puerto Rican rainforest.
Decisions are being made to intensify the global microwave rain from a steady drizzle to a downpour. Instead of radio masts every few miles, there are now masts every few houses in every city across the world. These small boxes are exposing the population to tens of hundreds of times more radiation than the tall structures they are replacing.
With the roll out of driverless cars these antennas are it is said, being sown like so much rice along the sides of highways and beneath pavements, the electric fields will also cover the countryside. This is 5G, the 5th generation of wireless technology which will enable the creation of the “Internet of Things”: not only cars, trucks, and home appliances, but virtually everything we buy is being fitted with antennas and microchips.
Cars will drive themselves; milk cartons will instruct refrigerators to order milk, your baby’s nappy will tell your mobile when it needs to be changed. By some estimates, as many as one trillion antennas will soon be talking to one another, outnumbering people on earth by one hundred to one.
Yes, we should be very concerned about what children watch on mobile devices, but we should be just as concerned if not more so by the damage to their brains and bodies from the electrical emissions from these devices and elsewhere.
