With the current debate between @GeorgeMonbiot and @AllanRSavory leaving folk on both sides struggling to feel heard (including me) I thought I’d try and explain a bit more about why the grazing GM refers to and the grazing AS refer to are not the same - bear with me! 🧵 1/20

Really interesting first Kelso Agricultural Discussion Society meeting of the winter last night, the main take away was from @howemill -'It's easier to make an efficient herd big than a big herd efficient' - something that could apply to any type of farming business

@turbotechdog @aSamEvans @RichardBurgon And your example of “seize and distribute” is not the same as applying a wealth tax to pay off gov debt and rebalance the books for government to invest in public services rather than debt. It’s not about giving everyone in the country their cash - what a ridiculous example!

British billionaires have doubled their wealth since 2010. There’s no shortage of money in our society - it’s just hoarded by the super-rich. Great to speak at TUC Conference on the need for a wealth tax - with UCU leader Jo Grady, Zack Polanski and War on Want.

@aSamEvans @turbotechdog @RichardBurgon I feel like neither of you understand compound interest and passive income? Arguments for redistribution aren’t about seizing and selling assets, they are focused on taxing wealth (not income) to ensure wealth accrual is distributed - not a fixed value.

The trip to Northern Ireland was awesome. Very friendly folk, engaging talks, great food and a lot of Guinness was drunk. Also fields and fields of GREEN grass and folk silage making………

@bleating_lamb Women are indoctrinated by the education system to actively destroy UK culture & way of life Most are left wing My sister has never done a single thing on the farm - going for a Phd now but thought Wheat needed bees, promoted wasps as pollinators & thinks they are vegetarian

I think this is the first time I have ever seen a dung beetle. Probably due, in no small part, to me not being in the habit of examining cow pats.

It's not a false dichotomy. Its an option. They do rot inside on phones. Positive work is one way to counter that and it really valuable to them. Saying that work is a good alternative to screen time is not excluding all other alternatives. I'd say farm kids are more not less likely to be involved in sport. That's anecdotal from my time coaching kids rugby for 10 years +
