so two lads, were trespassing which is a civil matter as we all know but if they were churning up a field or damaged property that is criminal damage. The police wouldn't have done anything to these louts if they did it would have been hours if not a couple of days for them to speak to Mr Greenwood. The police give out police numbers like raffle tickets, then an NFA is filed.
Two farmers a week kill themselves on average (Suicide is the biggest in men under 50 years old), rural crime is a major problem but the police don't do much about it, they rather monitor hurty words online in their warm offices. If we misbehaved as kids and got grassed up to my parents or the police, my parents' wrath is what I feared the most. I remember getting struck on the legs with a belt with a belt buckle at the end that would make Charlie Daniels envious. Criminals don't fear the police, you can hijack courier vans in broad daylight now.
If farmers are not worrying about their crops, it's livestock being taken or mauled to death by dogs, or burglary in which the police say to contact your insurance company meaning higher premiums.
The farmer has superb knotting skills to hog tie two strapping lads. Where I live is surrounded by farmer's fields there are fences and gates to keep people off the fields and to stay on the public footpaths, it's not rocket science.
If Greenwood is sent down (I doubt he will) there would be mass protests and farmer's strikes. I would be more than happy to help pay for Mr Greenwood's legal fees.
