Tom Pemberton Discuss England Had Its Wettest 18 Months In 150 Years On BBC Breakfast [03.04.2024]

[@TheWoodlandOrchard]

Tom Pemberton saying 'I do a bit of KZbin' is like Clarkson saying he does a bit of telly! As always, he's representing UK agriculture very, very well. Keep at it Tom!

[@juliemcleod1119]

The upkeep of the Rivers, canals and water ways, would help the farmers. Keep them clear and dredged where needed, not letting them get over grown and full of sludge. I see many where they have filled in, then the fields flood.. Good to see Tom standing up for many who have No Voice..

[@mikeman584]

Tom speaks very well and clearly outlines the present situation. Hopefully we will see a break in the weather and the farmers can get into what they do best producing good quality locally produced food.

[@sampowell6240]

If you watch any of Tom videos on KZbin you will see that he NEVER buys British himself. Pot, Kettle, Black.

[@mikeman584]

@@sampowell6240 Not too sure on that Sam, some equipment maybe better and perhaps might be foreign owned. I personally have a lot of time for Tom and his family, they sell perhaps poultry, pork eggs and other locally sourced products which support local farmers and businesses. They employ a lot of other local people on the farm and artisan butcher’s etc. He works very hard at what he does and has overcome personal difficulties to get there. I have never had the pleasure of meeting the man but must say it’s what this country is missing drive and passion plus some compassion thrown into the mix imho. You obviously have a different opinion and I respect that.

I really do feel for farmers, it is a tough game at the best of times, but working with crazy weather which is completely out of your control must be devastating. Tom is a great advocate for farming, I do hope politicians listen and try to help more, all they seem to be do being currently is encouraging them to grow flowers

[@martinoneill1644]

Tom had a cow stuck in his river one day and blamed the epa for not cleaning it instead of shabby farm fencing which wasn’t good enough. Most farmers don’t have time to go to tv studios far away but then Tom isn’t your typical farmer.

[@stlukes09bymycreator98]

It’s the local politicians that will not do their job and fix the drainage systems and solve the way the water drains through the system so it doesn’t cause the land to flood up with all this rain and ends up destroying the land, THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND POLITICIANS WHO NEED TO HELP THE FARMERS .

[@takumi2023]

we need tom to update us on the weather again this month. it's may now i know he let his cows out already but the recent video i saw the ground was still really wet.

[@milespostlethwaite1154]

I don’t agree that this weather is the future. We have often had exceptional years. There is no indication that this is a trend.

Don't know whare he is getting 5% of your budget gose on food 😂

[@andrewjones-productions]

It would have been better if he had of quoted his source for that figure. Regardless, he understated the figure and not overstated it. According to the Goverment website it states the following: "In FYE 2022, an average household spent 11.8% of their expenditure on household food and non-alcoholic drink in the UK, while for the lowest 20% of households by equivalised disposable income it was higher at 14.8%." The figures above are for the entire financial year. Perhaps Tom was quoting a typical weekly average. Events such as Christmas, family events, home parties etc. will obviously boost the amount spent on an annual basis, especially as much of the food bought is more expensive or greater in quantity than a weekly average shop. That is the only thing that I can think of.

[@ikweby9169]

Stats for 2024 show 11% on average is spent on food - Google will give you the stats. Go back to WW2 it was 5 / 6 time what it is today..

[@jameselliottlinnell7869]

A millionaire farmer moaning about the weather, we never hear about the good years and the fact the taxpayer keeps you with all the subsidies you get. Stop moaning stop farming as all home produce always costs more and the only thing we need from this country is milk and eggs and there’s plenty of companies producing them, even our flour for bread is cheaper from abroad, pay your workers a living wage or just give up and get a job and go on PAYE instead of taking give something back. Turn it all back to forest for us all to enjoy when we are not paying for you through our taxes?.
