For those of you who love seeing tractors make the world burn, I've got a treat for you. This week we were amazed to see Dutch farmers effectively shut down a city in protest.
Highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E3SLVJCLc8 https://twitter.com/Paploo968/status...35290943197184 News: https://www.dw.com/en/netherlands-fa...ams/a-50665750 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49891449 We're looking at about 1100 kilometres of traffic jam caused in the Hague by tractors slowing and blocking strategic roads. The government did try to stop the incoming tractors, some driving on the beach to go around the roadblocks, some just going through fences and over parkland. Why were they doing it? The government had threatened legislation aiming to drastically reduce nitrogen emissions from the farming sector (hang on, nitrogen is an inert gas?!) - which would mean for the farmers, having to halve, or completely cull their livestock herds. Naturally, they got in their tractors and went on a rampage. https://twitter.com/hashtag/boeren?lang=en Incredible to see!

did you see the tractor crash in the first video at 50 sec.
speed was definitively a contributing factor. |

That makes me smile
 In solidarity I'll be sure to hold up some traffic in my tractor this week.

Must have been rent-a-mob.
Surely Dutch "farmers" "protesting" would just be a bunch of pot-heads getting stoned and pretending somebody cared. |

Glad you enjoyed it.
I'm going to continue the agricultural disobedience theme, here is late last year in France: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyOAQCoHA4E And: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXa_B3Hl38I No one riots like the French, bless them.
