Paul Flynn MP
That this House notes that none of the farming unions have mentioned the
seven times inflation increase in farm incomes in 2006-07 compared with
2005-06; notes that the average increase in all farming types was 24.6
per cent., with larger increases of 33 per cent. in mixed farming, 88
per cent. in lowland grazing livestock, 119 per cent. in general
cropping and 120 per cent. in cereals; regrets that only the 19 per
cent. decrease in the dairy sector has been mentioned in 10 Early Day
Motions; and calls for balance from farming lobbyists and a reassessment
of the farm tax which takes £540 a year from the average family, very
few of whom have enjoyed a doubling of their incomes in this period.

I didn't say it :-)
Flynn did and, not for the first time, he has a point.
When farming organisations spend fortunes misleading, the victims are
usually farmers. In this case, dairy farmers.
You cannot run any business or industry on lies.
Pigs and Poulty are now an obvious example. Their lobbying, usually hiding
behind the description "farmers" and oddly membership, now very much
emphasised, of the NFU, is falling apart. Defra are now busy comprehensively
stuffing them.
If you run any kind of business respect for the customer and the truth is
essential.
It is not complicated. Commonsense.
