I am fed up with of people complaining the Government is not doing enough to help farmers and the rural economy.
Tony Blair has done far more to compensate and support agriculture and the countryside after BSE and foot-and-mouth than Thatcher or Major ever did for the miners, steelworkers or car workers in the Eighties.
Whole communities were wiped out then and the Tories did nothing.
