    The real and tangible thing from his efforts is the slow itself. Regardless of his motives or wherever or not you like the guy, his show has actually raised a lot of awareness of how much farmers have struggled in the UK. He makes it very clear that the only reason he can afford to run the farm at all is because of the money from the show and he doesn’t know how other farmers are surviving - which in many cases they aren’t.

      You’re fighting a strawman you made up buddy. I’m talking about his own and how he acted. If you don’t like it I suggest you check yourself and let me know if I was misleading about my claims.
