Be afraid
OPINION: Your old mate hears some of the recent uptick in farmer confidence has slipped since the political polls started leading a bit to the left, away from the current coalition of National, Act and NZ First.
He has come to this conclusion because when the Police Commissioner (Andy 'Cuddles' Coster) finally decided that being woke was not shifting the unruly mob and decided to get his troops to move them on with a bit of force, many of the protestors appeared to be washing (which by the look of most of them, they had not done for a week or two) their faces with milk to nullify the effects of pepper spray the police used.
This was on the very same day that the GDT hit a record US$4,757 a tonne for wholemilk powder, which means the anti-mandate lot were really crying over spilt milk and that would have cost them a pretty penny or two.
