So, Tory donor JCB boss gave staff the day off to go to farmers' protest, which - it turns out - was organised by online troll, who posted "only a disabled, unemployed, black, LGBT, transgender, non tax paying, homeless, vegan immigrant" would vote for Labour. 🤨 ~AA www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic... - ThreadSky

Neanderthal twat.

I reckon he may have called in to James on LBC today.

Have a listen, it’s hilarious.

paolorenato.bsky.social•98 days ago

I heard that guy… he was hilarious…. Literally foaming at the mouth… I think he actually said ‘I hate you James’ pure playground stuff… it actually cheered me up! 🤣

h1llbilies.bsky.social•98 days ago

He was called Charlie.

paolorenato.bsky.social•98 days ago

Yes 🙌🏼 🤣

clickbaitwizard.bsky.social•98 days ago

Really, just a typical British farmer. They're. all the same

clickbaitwizard.bsky.social•98 days ago

PAYWALL

franchesharper.bsky.social•98 days ago

He didn't take losing by landslide very well. 🤣

thecount2000.bsky.social•98 days ago

What a nice guy!!!!!!!!!!

neillj.bsky.social•98 days ago

He sounds like a typical farmer.

quicker just to say 'Tory' nowadays

bboru.bsky.social•98 days ago

Surprised the article didn't mention he was approached for comment. Isn't that standard practice?

I'd love to read what he says about such deplorable accusations.

(Also the Mirror website is an abomination).

Clive Bailye seems a nice piece of work, doesn't he?!? Then again "Tory donor" should give one a clue!!

The Together Declaration aims to stoke populist uprisings by exploiting public dissatisfaction while offering no solutions. In essence, they are cynical, dishonest troublemakers skilled at creating division without contributing to progress.

axj866.bsky.social•78 days ago

The group exploits popular issues to push its own agenda, as with the farmers. NFNF, linked to James Melville of Together, opposes climate mitigation efforts, and is likely funded by fossil fuel interests. Their focus includes anti-Net Zero policies, ULEZ, congestion charges, and 15-minute cities.

I support farmers' protests against proposed changes to inheritance tax. They deserve special consideration. But my issue here is with the No Farmers No Food (NFNF) campaign, which claims to represent farmers but is run by the Together Declaration, an AstroTurf group tied to the Spiked Network.

How to insult absolutely everyone, even me (vegan)!

paoloalessandro.bsky.social•98 days ago

Naomi - did voice her suspicions on your podcast today.
You now have solid evidence?

lalboggart.bsky.social•98 days ago

I bet staff said they were going and then did their Christmas shopping, sank a few beers, had a mooch round some food stalls at Covent Garden maybe.

oddballwoofwoof.bsky.social•98 days ago

marshk.bsky.social•98 days ago

Bet he voted for Brexit too

kman68.bsky.social•98 days ago

Seems like a nice guy.

realcombatsystem.bsky.social•98 days ago

No surprise really is it. That's them all over.

jazzaoxon.bsky.social•98 days ago

The protest was for him, not his staff - they're not affected, he is. How like a tory to look after number one.

suems.bsky.social•98 days ago

"...gave their JCB farmers the day off ... !!! So are these tenant farmers? Do they realise that IHT won't affect them? Unless they fear rent rises?

ilmomento.bsky.social•98 days ago

Mr JCBrexit is under investigation related to tax issues I believe. It is time Bamford was held to account.

gloshbeach.bsky.social•98 days ago

His 'staff' need to realise that serfdom is history. Probably no union. Giving days off to support the boss personal wealth crusade is pure middle ages stuff.

alherix.bsky.social•98 days ago

As I said on the day, look into the backers of the tractors demo! This was organised by landowners rallying and scaring working farmers to come out while hiding behind them

pennicat.bsky.social•98 days ago

There’s something ironic about mentioning learning difficulties and then going on to make a grammatical mistake immediately afterwards.

“…vegan with learning difficulties while your at it".

I don’t correct grammar usually because I know people can have good reason for mistakes, but in this case…

2primates.bsky.social•98 days ago

So what were the JCB staff who volunteered/were pressganged into protesting doing? Driving some of the f**k off big agricultural machines through London, or just standing around trying to look like farmers? Both? Whatever it was, it makes this event look even more like AstroTurf PR bollocks.

cassiopia.bsky.social•98 days ago

Why does this not surprise me
