They're Back - A Day Ahead Of British Farmers Mass Protests The French Farmers Are Blocking Roads Again

 You may remember a period earlier this year when almost every day we Boggart Bloggers were reporting on farmers protests against EU policy which started in France and spread across most of western Europe. Their actions eventurally forced the usually obdurate EU to back off several policies which would have ruinined farm businesses as they were intended to.

From shitfest protests in southern France to Poland's agricultural community blocking international border crossing points, farmers actions caused chaos on a huge scale.

This time, with British farmers et to join in, it could be even bigger/

Any reasonable person would have seen the writing (in farmyard dung,) on the wall and backed off. However the EU is not run by reasonable people but by bureaucrats, a bizarre species of sub - human hominids who can never let go of a bad idea.

And so, less than a year after an uneasy truce was reached with farmers, the blockades are back as the EU tries again to destroy European agriculture. Farmers are staging protests across France against a proposed trade deal between the European Union and four South American countries which would enable cheap, poor quality imports to undercut local produce in food markets. The Daily Telegraph reports.

Agricultural activists captured global attention in January and February when they blockaded Paris and pledged to “starve” the capital unless stifling EU and French norms were relaxed.

This time, they have dubbed the 85-odd protests “Act II”.

Arnaud Rousseau, head of the largest farming union, the FNSEA, insisted that the action would mainly involve demonstrations in front of regional state buildings and roundabouts and that the aim was “not to inconvenience the French”.

Bruno Retailleau, France’s newly appointed Interior Minister, has also pledged authorities will show “zero tolerance” towards long-lasting disruption this time.

However, other farming unions are taking more direct action with roadblocks and bridge blockades.

In the greater Paris region, a dozen tractors blocked the N118 road at Velizy, with officials advising drivers to avoid the area.

Other roadblocks are planned on Monday afternoon in Ile-de-France on various key routes in and out of the capital.

In the southern town of Avignon, tractors blocked the Pont de l’Europe, one of the main entry points to the town. Local media reported 30 tractors and around 100 farmers were involved.

The protests earlier this year were called off following promises from the Government – but farmers say that the pledges are yet to materialise and their woes have been compounded by poor harvests and animal diseases.

The EU clock is ticking in France. Daily reading of public comments in French papers for many years shows more and more calls for Frexit. The people are realising that their own government has little say over huge swathes of French life and their national elections are becoming of less and less importance. Its early days still. But the groundswell is growing.

This is the EUs back door method of destroying EU farms. When the Dutch government tried to take the farmers land the farmers fought back supported by the Dutch people. Now we see the EU going through the back door to get cheaper and possibly deadly farm products into the EU, I say deadly products because you can bet the pesticides will have been heavily used and the products very dangerous to eat. The EU plan to destroy the economics of the EU farms. I wish all EU farmers will stand up and fight this treason. MORE ABOUT FARMERS PROTESTS

Conspiracy Theorists Were Right (again) Governments ARE Planning To Make Us Eat Insects

A research centre backed by the UK Government has been set up and tasked with getting insects and other meat alternatives onto supermarket shelves and making them more palatable to the public.


Bug Burger - picture credit www.acs.org

 

Businesses involved in creating meat alternatives have emerged in recent years, accompanied by propagada about how the omnivore diet of most humans is destroying the planet. Government departments and supra - national bureaucracies that created narratives about the environmental impact of animal agriculture, which accounts for around 80 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions from food production globally.

Minced fake meat created from crickets harvested in Cambridge and pet food made of chicken cultivated from egg cells are two products recently launched by British-based companies which it is hoped will become more widely accepted by consumers who,up to now, have strongly resisted food created by mad scientists in laboratories rather than farmers and nature.

The National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (NAPIC) will look at how to cut red tape and bypass fod safety and hygiene stadards, while also exploring ways to sell meat alternatives to shoppers through focus groups sur,veys, nudging and misleading labelling.

But jbefore you are swept up by the hype about saving the planet  thake a step back and check out these interesting numbers. It takes 4171 cockroaches to produce the same amount of methane as a 1200 lb cow, 4171 cockroaches weigh just under 7 lb, cows taste better and produce several desirable products from dairy to fertilizer, cockroaches produce shit and methane and soread diseases. Termites produce more methane than cockroaches, they aren’t very tasty either but the psychopaths who govern us want to put them on the menu. No I haven’t eaten any. No dairy and no steak is a deal breaker for me, I’m a carnivore with the odd veggie dinner (portobello mushrooms stuffd with goat cheese and green pesto for example) thrown in.

 Call me a Conspiracy Theorist if you like, but it beomes more and more clear to me that there really is a plan afoot among that obscenely wealth cabal I call The Billionaire Psychopaths World Domination Society to reduce the majority of humanity to something resembling medieval serfdom.  Nations and social demgraphics have been brainwashed and gaslit to the point that all the powers that be have to do to kill them is to tell them to kill themselves and they do it with haste, eagerness and hostility towards those that are not killing themselves.

WAKE UP PEOPLE. Insects eat shit and carry all the dieases and parasites contained therein. And they can neither be gutted and cleaned like a fish or a chicken not butchered so that only muscle titue is eaten. You get the contents of the stomach, intestine and bowel in your cricket mince or cockroach mash.

Humans have lost all survival instincts.

It will get WORSE too.  With the 5g grid and the tracking and surveillance it facilitates in place, and AI Large Language Models creating narratives, mind control is only going to get easier.

Operation Crimson Mist is an example of what is to come:  https://www.educate-yourself.org/cn/americanmcinbaghdad29may03.shtml

Not that anyone is going to read about Operation Crimson Mist because everybody is too busy playing online bingo, watching Porn Hub or playing stupid games on their smartphones.

The problem is when most people are too thick to see through the BS of Climate Change, COVID, Proxy war etc. and realise the (quite obvious) long term agenda of globalisation and the WEF…particularly generation Z.

If we do challenge such a narrative one iota, we are deemed far right, racist, bigoted, blah, blah …(insert another boring generalisation)…

We didn’t actually elect this government (20% of the population did…if that). Like all Socialist regimes, they come in by stealth by exploiting a weak predecessor government.

So I do hope the peoples’ vote reflects our outright rejection of this lurch towards collectivisation in our next local elections. I don’t hold out much hope…

Being ‘encouraged’ to have our wealth purged for the “benefit” of the state; being told that unchecked immigration is good for our country; feeding off insects and living in ever smaller properties, while our disposable income dwindles is NOT a future aspiration that even a young post-millennial would wish for. Wake the heck up everyone…

Please just let us have a sensible centre right government in a normal nation state. But maybe this isn’t possible in the 21st century anymore…and THAT’S not a very encouraging thought…

Polish Farmers Completely Close Their Country’s Border With Ukraine

3 March 2024

 

 Polish farmers shut down country’s border with Ukraine

Continuing their protest that we reported on this page last week, Polish farmers today blockaded all six border crossings between their country and Ukraine, according to Kiev’s border security agency. The move comes after a prolonged cmpaign of disruptive protests by Poland’s agricultural workers against cheap Ukrainian imports threatening their livelihoods, rising costs due mainly to energy price increases and restrictions on their ability to operate profitably imposed by the European Union's loonytoons 'net zero policies.

“As of this morning, more than 2,400 cargo vehicles are waiting in queues” at all six crossing points, State Border Guard Service spokesman Andrey Demchenko told Ukraine’s ‘European Pravda’ news service.

“Not a single truck is crossing the border towards Poland, because they are not allowed through,” Demchenko said, adding that cars, vans, and buses are being allowed to pass as normal.

Polish farmers have been causing delays at the border since November, to protest against an EU rule allowing Ukrainian farmers, hard hit by the war with Russia, to sell their grain in the EU bloc without paying tariffs or abiding by Brussels’ quality standards and other regulations.

The Polish government claimed Poland “wants to help Ukraine, but can’t allow this help to bring very negative effects to our citizens. We are constantly looking for a solution that will protect the Polish market from being flooded with clearly cheaper [Ukrainian] agricultural products,” Prime Minister Tusk said on Wednesday.

The farmers have extended their protest to Poland’s Lithuanian border, claiming that the Baltic state is being used by Ukrainian truckers to circumvent blockades on the direct border crossings with Ukraine.

On top of lifting tariffs on Ukrainian produce, in 2022  the EU, on the pretext of supporting Ukraine's war effort, abolished a rule requiring their beleagured neighbours haulage companies to obtain permits to operate within the EU. Though the move was intended to inject revenue into Ukraine’s transport industry, Polish officials claimed that it allowed Ukrainian truckers to undercut their local counterparts. 

The situation was aggravated when the Kiev regime imposed a queuing system that kept Polish trucks waiting for up to two weeks to return home from trips to Ukraine, while Ukrainian trucks were free to cross the border as often as they wanted.

Boggart Blog is not suggesting the Ukies are stupid, but the neo Nazi thickos in Kiev seem determined to piss off their allies at every opportunity. In another example of the Ukies shooting themselves in the foot, last week Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba claimed last week that the protesting farmers were only doing so because of the influence of a “Russian disinformation campaign.”

Angry French farmers storm Paris agricultural show before president due to visit

 Protestin French fearmer clashed with police and called for president to resign amid chaotic scenes as exhibitors and visitors at the Paris Agricultural Show anticipated the arrival of President Macon on Friday (23 February). Although the recent major protests by people involved in agriculture has died down in the past two weeks the farmers anger at the policies of Macton's globalist government and the EU commisssion is still simmering just below its flashpoint. 

A group of farmers stormed a major Paris farm fair today ahead of a planned visit by  President Macron amid anger over rising costs, particularly of energy, bureaucratic restrictions and green regulations linked to the EU wide 'net zero' policy. The farmers claim a combination of these things is making the profitable operation of a farm impossible, a point which is difficult to refute,

Confronted by dozens of police officers on duty at the trade fair, the farmers were shouting and booing, calling for the French president’s resignation.

“This is our home!”, they shouted, as French CRS riot police tried to contain the demonstration and keep the protests away from Macron. There were some violent clashes between police and demonstrators and several arrests were made.

“I’m saying this for all farmers: you’re not helping any of your colleagues by smashing up stands, you’re not helping any of your colleagues by making the show impossible, and in a way scaring families away from coming,” Mr Macron told reporters after a meeting with union leaders.

The troubles in France, Germany, Netherlands and several more of the 27 member EU's major economies has been made inevitable by globalism, the creeping destruction of farming on the basis of some dubious and unscientific 'climate change' claims, which have been linked without a shred of verifiable evidence has been linked to carbon dioxide emissions from human activity. Does it not seem strange, reader, how 'the science' relating to agriculture's role in climate change is focused on meat, cow farts, chicken manure, fossil fuels used to heat accomodation for livestock etc. 
 
 Cows in a natural cycle of carbon - animals that have been doing the same job for humanity since before industrialisation, turning grass into first class protein that the human digestive system cannot get from vegetables. 
 
Fight for the right to eat meat or you will be left with beans, crickets and legumes and soy for your protein. the impact of mono crops being shipped around the world... the impact of junk food.... let's ignore that. rotting vegetation, fire ants, clams, vegans farting..

The Paris farm show is a major event in France, annually attracting around 600,000 visitors over nine days. It was meant to open at 9am on Friday. The doors were still closed at 0838 GMT, following the storming by angry farmers.

In a sign of tensions between French farmers and the government, Mr Macron cancelled a debate he wanted to hold at the fair today with farmers, food processors and retailers, after farmers unions said they would not take part.

Farmers Blockades, Now In Second Week, Continue To Paralyze Spain

20 February 2022

For  the past13 days Spanish farmers have blocked major roads, city centres and ports, dumping imports of cheap Moroccan vegetables and cereals on the roads and marching alongside slow moving stractors tractors into the centers of large cities.

Protesting farmers took over the port city of Santander last the weekend, bringing commercial activity to a stanstill. Today (Wednesday 21 February, farmers went ahead with planned tractor  protests in Andalusia, Extremadura, and Castilla and León, with television and radio traffic news bulletins warning of  major delays additional road closures in these regions.

There are no signs the protests are coming to an end, either.

The Union of Small Farmers and Ranchers has a schedule for tractor demonstrations stretching all the way to Feb. 27 in Córdoba. Meanwhile, the Union of Farmers and Livestock Unions has announced its next demonstration to be in Madrid later this week, with several demonstrations planned in the run-up to this.

Last Wednesday Spanish protesters paralyzed traffic for hours at the port of Motril in southern Spain, where a large part of Morocco’s fruit and vegetable shipments arrive. Several of the vans stuck inside had their holds opened and tomatoes found inside were thrown onto the road in protest at cheap imports of agricultural products from Morocco, which do not meet the stringent EU standards Spanish farmers are compelled to uphold.

Meanwhile, scores tractors and human chains have blocked the many of busiest highways in Spain, and have also made crossing the Spanish-French border at La Jonquera difficult for the past two days. 

In Guadalajara province, neighboring Madrid, protesters dumped grain on the road, while in Salamanca and other cities, cheaply imported products  bought in hypermarket chains were spread in the car pars of those stores, according to Hungarian news outlet Magyar Nemzet.

Apart from calling for easing of EU regulations, particularly those relating to the insane 'net zero' policy, and less complicated bureaucracy surrounding EU agricultural businesses, Spanish farmers are demanding that the socialist (i.e. humanity hating,) government helps them to cope with the impact on production and incomes of last year's prolonged  drought, and to ensure greater respect for Spanish agricultural products through fair prices, less red tape, and a level playing field, among other things.

The biggest farmers’ protest, planned for Madrid towards the end of the month is expected to cause major disruptions in the city and there are fears that confrontations between protestors and police could become violent.  Farmers also announced on Thursday morning of last week that they would mobilize on Feb. 26, the day EU agriculture ministers meet in Brussels.

Spain's far left Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has so far announced that the law on the food supply chain will be strengthened to ban loss-making sales and promote the sector’s needs; however, line their counterparts on Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Ital and Poland, Spain's farmers are skeptical of his  such pledges and promises and plan to keep up the pressure.

Farmers Rebellion Blockade Germany’s Biggest Airport

 

While the farmers' protests in France have entered a quieter phase after the government of Emmanuel Macron caved in to some of the agricultural workers most significant demands with a caveat from the French Farmers Union that they were ready to do it all again if the government did not deliver on its promises, in Germany things seemed to be getting even more heated over the weekend.

Farmers in Germany blocked roads around the  country’s busiest airport on Saturday as protests over prices and red tape spread across the continent. Hundreds of tractors were deployed to block the streets leading to Frankfurt Airport after a fuel subsidy cut was passed by the German parliament on Friday.

Farmers in Germany have been engaged in massive protests throughout January following a statement by Olaf Scholz’s  government that it would cut close to a billion euros in farm subsidies in response to a domestic budget crisis.

Several huge protests recently gridlocked the streets of the nation's capital and other large cities and forced Berlin into concessions that included rowing back completely on a plan to make farmers pay road tax on farm vehicles. However, as we see so often with globalist led governments that give with one hand and immediately snatch back with the other.

This was certainly the case when Scholz's far left coalition first reversed the plan to charge road tax on farm vehicles and then quickly neutered that concession by cutting fuel subsidy. Germany’s farmers’ union has signalled that it will only stop protesting once the subsidy cuts have been completely reversed.

Roadblocks by German farmers were synchonised with similar protests across Europe, as farmers in Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Spain and Italy joined the movement,  blocking roads and disrupting business and social life to draw attention to what they see as excessive EU environmental rules and unfair competition from outside the bloc.

On Friday, farmers blocked border crossings between Netherlands and Belgium with a government website showing long delays on three major motorways.

Meanwhile, a Polish farmers union announced a plan to blockade the border crossings to Ukraine starting on Feb 9.

“The passivity of the Polish authorities... regarding the import of agricultural produce and food products from Ukraine leave us with no other choice but to declare a general strike,” the farmers union Solidarity said in a press release.

In Greece, farmers blocked roads in the north and centre of the country as they demanded a reduction to EU regulation and expidited compensation payouts for farmers affected by the flooding and wildfires that devastated parts of the country last summer.

In Romania where protests have happened daily for several weeks, (sorry Romania, we've neglected you but estern Europe is on the periphery of boggart blog's radar,) authorities have agreed to increase fuel subsidies after farmers there teamed up with hauliers to block streets and obstruct the movement of food and goods.

French farmers, meanwhile, dismantled some of the roadblocks they had built on motorways around Paris after wringing concessions out of the government on fuel duty, pesticides and other environmental issues.

“The worst of the crisis is now behind us, but the issues we have to deal with are ahead of us,” Marc Fesneau, the French agriculture minister, said on CNEWS TV.

Protests have also been organised in Portugal, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus in recent days.
