UPDATED: The weak British farmers have not conducted a much touted farmer’s strike, and it was probably an April Fool’s Day joke, a decidedly pathetic one.
A first national farmers “strike” is NOT under way, with a number of farmers who said they would be refusing to load milling wheat out of stores for the next two weeks, in protest at the raft of Labour government policies that are hitting the industry hard not doing what they promised to do.
It might be April fools day but food shortages are no joke. Empty shelves will be appearing so better pop to your local supermarket and grab a loaf of bread and packet of hot cross buns for Easter before they run out.
But don’t panic buy ……… pic.twitter.com/EQvlM50h4D

The farmers will get minimal support from the DS in the future due to their pathetic action of no action. If British farmers do not have the guts to help themselves, we won’t bother either.
🚨 The milling wheat strike starts tomorrow
Farmers will refuse to load bread making wheat from their stores from 1 April
“No hot cross buns for easter”
