I have no time for such protest groups. It's an incredibly complex challenge and the answer is not to destroy access to energy, jobs etc while we transition to clean energy. Just stop oil, just don't get it. They don't even have any credible proposals other than stopping upstream licensing.

Are you suggesting Farmers don't work?

NFU represents farmers, which are both businesses AND people. In a way it's both, as many farms are small businesses consisting of a family or just one person.
But where these farms employ people then the NFU represents the employer, not the employee.
It represents farms, exactly as the name suggests. Is this too complicated for some?

Not "exactly" as the name suggests.
"Farmers", yes.
The history of the NFU
The National Farmers Union (NFU) is the voice of British farming, ensuring our members are heard when and where it matters most. Throughout our history we have lobbied, campaigned and championed British agriculture and horticulture.

"Thames Water’s biggest investor slashed the value of its stake last year, raising questions about how easy it will be for the indebted UK utility to persuade shareholders to inject much needed equity.
The Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System, one of Canada’s biggest public sector pension funds, owns a 31 per cent stake in Thames Water, held through multiple investment vehicles including a Singapore-registered entity that owns about a fifth of the company. Omers Farmoor Singapore PTE cut the value of its stake in Kemble Water, Thames Water’s parent company, by almost £300mn last year, a near 30 per cent writedown, according to corporate filings reviewed by the Financial Times. The entity valued its stake in Kemble at £979mn at the end of 2021, before reducing the value to about £700mn last year. Omers declined to comment."

was that those supporting Brexit or protesting Brexit?
I have no problem with lawful protest. I have a problem with people doing things to disrupt others and calling it justified. cretin rebellion, just stop everyone working etc. They wind people up to the point they get angry and end up getting arrested for assault. People who have to get to work to get paid, while the vest wearing numpties do their best to impersonate a funeral procession deliberately blocking traffic. I suspect none of the protestors are paid by the job.
The NFU clearly operate as union to protect and represent its members. Get them a better deal etc. You know pay, terms conditions and the stuff that the lefty unions you love champion.

I used the term union. You added the term trade. though I would consider being a farmer a trade or profession.

That was motorbiking, pretending to think that the NFU was a Trade Union.
He didn't really believe if.
