The $24 Billion Plant-Based Meat Scam 🥩
Wall Street tried to reinvent the cow.
They raised billions. They used celebrities. They built meat in a lab.
Now they're bleeding cash, and your great-grandmother is laughing from heaven.
Here’s how the scam fell apart… 🧵

With Farmers under pressure from multiple direction I’ be fascinated to learn why @asda have decided this is an appropriate time to start stocking Uruguayan beef. There is no excuse for this huge betrayal of the UK’s hard working family farms. Consumers and Farmers deserve better

🚨BREAKING: Parliament are set to debate banning halal slaughter in the UK.
The Muslim Council of Britain warns this would force many Muslims to leave the country.
Should Halal slaughter be banned?

Questioning Keir Starmer in PMQs on farm inheritance tax - and on the EFRA cross-party report calling for a pause.
The PM’s response will be a disappointment to farmers and to many on his own benches, who are convinced that the government should rethink the tax on family farms.

He’s right. After 10-12 years, cos methane is broken down into CO2, entering a carbon cycle absorbed by plants via photosynthesis, converted into cellulose and eaten by livestock and the cycle starts again. The very essence of environmental sustainability.
104 pills daily but no meat, need we say more!
If this is true, I really am ashamed to be British. We are represented by clowns.
UK Government to approve experiments to dim sunlight in an effort to fight climate change.
Experiments to dim sunlight to fight global warming will be given the green light by the UK Government within weeks.
Outdoor field trials which could include injecting aerosols into the atmosphere, or brightening clouds to reflect sunshine, are being considered by scientists as a way to prevent runaway climate change.

Not one warm period in history could have been predicted. Not one was caused by carbon dioxide or human culture. CO2 made no difference despite being the source of life & oxygen. Climate is the ceaseless flowing of tectonic plates, volcanoes & ocean currents not fake ideology.

£2.5bn for British steel. That’s the same as the annual budget for agriculture….
Steel industry employs 33,700 - contributes £1.8bn to the economy 🏭
Agriculture employs 285,000 - contributes £13.7bn to the economy 🌾
Very sad to hear of Eddie's passing, great entertainer, sportsman and commentator. Sitting here recovering from having my prostate out it hits home fairly hard. Get tested guys. It's a blood test and there is no excuse. I had no symptoms. You owe it to your family to get tested!

He's right in what he is saying. If God did create everything why did he create so much misery and suffering?🤷♂️

In the last 5 years, and since the appointment of
DEI supremo June Sarpong (280K/yr for a 3 day week) the BBC has discriminated against white people on an industrial scale. Management were told they would get bonuses by meeting 20% quotas. Good experienced people dumped. Others promoted above their abilities.
I've tried to expose this. Now it's official. Hurrah.

You can teach kids how to brush their teeth in school but it’s parents who need to stand with them, twice a day, every single day. I do mine at the same time with my grand daughter when she stays. Not hard - just time. Maybe it’s some parents that need to be brought into school ?

I wouldn't start arresting farmers when you let those just stop oil idiots cause so much disruption
🚨 FARMERS RISE UP—TOLD TO ‘LEAVE TRACTORS AT HOME’ OR FACE ARREST! 🚨
🔴 The war on British farmers is here. In a shocking move, police have threatened to ARREST farmers who bring their tractors to protest Rachel Reeves’ devastating tax raid on UK agriculture.
🔴 The message is clear: comply, or be crushed. The government is determined to silence dissent, even as farmers fight for their very survival.
🔴 Reeves’ inheritance tax will STRIP generational farms from families, forcing land sales and pushing the UK further into food dependence on foreign imports. But instead of addressing these concerns, the government is deploying law enforcement against farmers—just like in Europe.
🔥 THEY WANT TO CONTROL YOUR LAND, YOUR FOOD, AND YOUR FUTURE. 🔥
📢 WHAT THIS MEANS:
⚠️ Farmers are being told NOT to bring their tractors—their most powerful symbol of protest—under threat of ARREST.
⚠️ The tax plan will see farms hit with a crushing 20% inheritance tax on land over £1 million—forcing many to sell or shut down.
⚠️ Labour ministers are being BOOED and HECKLED at farming events—yet they push ahead, refusing to listen.
💥 THE GLOBALIST WAR ON FARMERS IS NOT JUST IN EUROPE—IT’S HAPPENING IN BRITAIN. 💥
🚨 This is NOT just about farmers—this is about who controls the land, who controls the food supply, and who controls the people. The fightback has begun. 🚨
