marsh man Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Saw on the news tonight a load of 4 x 4s went over farmland in the Fens area and caused massive damage to crops and the fields , one farmer they interviewed had to lock himself and his family in his farmhouse for fear of going out after them , three times he rang the police and no one came out as the police said they didn't have the resources to attend , where were the rural crime teams ? P S You might be able to put a link on about it . MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But back to the point, they will know who the offenders are, but can't make any charges stick. They use firearms against deer round here and the police do nothing - don't even turn out.

marsh man Posted January 28 Author Report Share Posted January 28 No wonder farmers have a high suicide rate after seeing what damage they have done , I would be wary in going out to try and stop one let alone a load of them , you see on gateways Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted , I bet you don't see any of them go to court .

islandgun Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Disgraceful.. If i was a farmer i would dig a trench across the gate way and prefab some mobile skids or ramp to allow access for tractors, [of course he shouldn't have to] maybe call in the army to clear the scum away. it would be a bit of practice for them..👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weihrauch17 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 I saw this in the paper and was truly shocked at the absolutely appalling lack of any Police response, truly disgusting.

Amazing how a post on X can get you Jail within a day but this lot get off Scott free! Welcome to Starmer's Britain. In fairness to Starmer, this has been going on for years. The problem here is you give people and their culture protected status (especially when their culture is crime) and it emboldens them. "It's part of my culture gov" Not that it would stop them anyway, but it hasn't helped. it also creates a two tiered society... Admittedly, Labour and Starmer will probably make things worse, it is the Labour way after all. Edited January 29 by Newbie to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
