Ah, fair enough. Could be his house then I suppose. Heard on the radio his family had tried to get a GoFundMe going for the bail payment and only raised $4k. I'm not sure I'd give up my house to avoid 6 months of jail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering he'll be spending a far bit of time there soon enough anyway - best get his feet under the table now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I hadn't quite twigged the significance but it's a ploy to get the veiled racism of the Countryfile/Coast crowd out into the open isn't it?Countryfile is racist now?[emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I guess that there's no black people on it most weeks because there's not many black people running farms.Should do a Zimbabwe imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I haven't seen countryfile in years. Do they still have a mandatory section for "Britain's fastest growing outdoor pursuit". They had some utter shite on that. I remember seeing bog snorkeling and grown ups doing some sort of downhill skateboarding on a massive board with tyres. Cuntyfile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obvious why there's less racial diversity in the countryside though. It's because the past 200 years especially have been a time of massive urbanisation. Where people have migrated both within and between countries they tended to migrate to cities. I expect that the lack of diversity is a cause rather than an effect of racist attitudes in rural areas. I know it's been widely reported that ethnic minorities perceive that rural areas are more racist. It isn't clear that that is the case though. My hunch is that countryfolk don't like people who ain't from round here so really won't like folk who look different. But both my hunch and the aforementioned perception could both be a result of ignorance and prejudice against six-toed yokels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I guess people wouldn’t be so suspicious of the attitudes of rural communities if they didn’t generally insist on voting right wing any chance they got 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Maybe farms would have more diverse workplaces if they moved them to city centres where people live rather than out in the middle of nowhere. Also: the second part of that video (starting at 0:34) is absolute gold, particularly that one in the Superman cape.

Post Brexit there will be Filipinos, Bangladeshis and Cambodians as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they set the right wages and conditions they would get the workers they need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
