\"\"<\/a>This is an unplanned ‘quickie’ that I want to get out while the humour is on me and before I lose the details. It also needs to be said before the ‘Welsh Government’s campaign goes any further.<\/p>\n

‘FAR RIGHT’ SUPPORT<\/p>\n

I’m going to start by looking at a piece from the BBC Wales website<\/a> a few days ago. Written by an S4C reporter it worried that the farmers’ campaign against the ‘Welsh Government’s Sustainable Farming Scheme<\/a> (SFS) was being exploited by far right elements with hidden agendas.<\/p>\n

The article even provided a photograph of the ogress Katie Hopkins. Whatever one may think of her (and I don’t think about her at all) I suggest she’s rather too public to have anything hidden.<\/p>\n

But just mentioning her name is guaranteed to get the comrades hyperventilating, and finger-pointing. Though providing a picture as well may have got a few spluttering to a point where their mams would have been seriously concerned.<\/p>\n

(Unless of course they were out. Then it might be a three-day wait for an ambulance.)<\/p>\n

As I say, the report was written by a journalist from state-funded S4C. And by pure coincidence, one of the two farmers quoted has a gig with the same broadcaster! The other farmer had a beef with something Price had said about the Welsh language.<\/p>\n

The farmer with the S4C job was quoted:<\/p>\n

A responsible government will listen. Because no government’s role is to make the life of its citizens more difficult<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But this is Wales. The ‘Welsh Government’ only listens to, and is then directed by, pressure groups and other fanatics. If S4C wants to find ‘hidden agendas’ then that’s where it needs to look.<\/p>\n

If you want proof just look at who’s on the Active Travel Board<\/a>, plotting to get private cars off the roads of Wales – three cycling organisations, plus Sustrans!<\/p>\n

Which of those lycra-clad wankers is supposed to speak for me?<\/p>\n

I don’t believe that ‘farmers’ fear the wrong kind of support. They’re sensible enough to spot it. What I know a number of them really fear is a black propaganda campaign being mounted against them using ‘far right’ accusations.<\/p>\n

And that’s exactly what this story was all about. It was a contrived and distasteful attempt to discredit the farmer’s protests using the most tenuous connection with somebody the left despises.<\/p>\n

LE PETIT TRIANON SUR ELWY?<\/p>\n

The next report I’m going to use came out last night. Again, on the BBC website<\/a>, and it actually says ‘climate change’ in the headline. (So there’s no arguing, right!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

There were two journalists involved. Erin Sharrocks Lister is yet another English journalist taken on by BBC Wales, with Eirian Jones presumably serving as her native guide on this assignment.<\/p>\n

(Unnecessary doubling up, and you’re paying for it.)<\/p>\n

On a superficial level this story was about a farming family – Alex and Sam Kenyon – that had coped, in a very nature-friendly way, with increased flooding of their land caused by climate change. But so many buttons were being pressed in this story that it soon became a dizzying whirl of digits.<\/p>\n

For example, we read:<\/p>\n

With advice from Natural Resources Wales and the Nature Friendly Farming Network (NFFN), Sam discovered a method to preserve the riverbanks<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Can you not see the cavalry coming over the hill and splashing through the flood plain? What a sight it was!<\/p>\n

Sam then consulted her notes from Lesley Griffiths, and we read:<\/p>\n

Sam said she was very determined to show nature-based solutions were practical and can benefit farmed landscapes and their biodiversity, especially in the face of climate change<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As you’ve read, the ‘Welsh Government’s stooge, the Nature Friendly Farming Network<\/a> (NFFN), was involved here.<\/p>\n

And on consulting the instructions he’d received from Lesley (and Gary?), Phil Carson, head of policy at NFFN, said:<\/p>\n

We need government schemes that reward farmers to take these actions, alongside the right training, advice and support for farmers to embrace them with confidence<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You know me, I got to wondering about Alex and Sam Kenyon.<\/p>\n

I quickly found the website for Glanllyn farm<\/a>. On it, Sam Kenyon describes herself as a “goat servant<\/em>“. I don’t know any genuine Welsh farmer that would use a phrase like that. Come to that, I don’t think I know any genuine Welsh farmers that keep goats.<\/p>\n

Sam is also supportive of the World Wildlife Fund (WFF). (Scroll down and you’ll find her among the Supporters<\/a>.) There are few organisations doing more to undermine traditional farming today than the WWF<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The next step was Companies House, where I found Glanllyn Farm Produce Ltd<\/a>. And where the humble ‘Alex’ is elevated to The Hon Alexander Simon Tyrell-Kenyon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It seems he inherited the farm from an aunt.<\/p>\n

After starting the business in 2016, she built the farm up from scratch on land that her husband, Alex, inherited from his family<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t wish to be too critical, for I see the name Hanmer in Alex’s bloodline. But the fact remains, the Tyrell-Kenyons are not representative of Welsh farmers.<\/p>\n

Perhaps a generous interpretation might be the one I allude to in the section heading. That of Marie-Antoinette playing a shepherdess<\/a> at her ‘cottage’ in the grounds of Versailles.<\/p>\n

Whether Sam Kenyon knew she was being used to push a policy deeply unpopular with real farmers, I just don’t know. But we’ll leave it there.<\/p>\n

\u25ca<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

‘PSST, WANNA HEAR SOME MISINFORMATION?’<\/p>\n

Not a lot of people know this, but the self-styled ‘Welsh Government’ uses a private company as a propaganda unit, to push its message and slander its opponents. And of course, this is done with your<\/em> money.<\/p>\n

The company I’m referring to is Lynn<\/a>. It seems to have begun with Lynn Group Ltd.<\/a> Though another company formed more recently is Lynn Global Ltd<\/a>. The deadline for submitting the first accounts for Lynn Global is March 20.<\/p>\n

The sole director of both companies is Shayoni Sarkar Lynn.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Shayoni Lynn. Click to open enlarged in separate tab<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I wrote about Lynn last year, in ‘It’s Getting Sinister<\/a>‘, and then I followed it with ‘Lynn Global Pushes Globalist Agenda<\/a>‘. Lynn has a BS Unit<\/a>. (As if the ‘Welsh Government’ doesn’t have enough in-house BS units!)<\/p>\n

‘BS’ in the make-believe world of ‘nudge’ units stands for ‘behavioural science’. And that, in practice, means getting people to accept what their better judgement tells them is the other kind of BS.<\/p>\n

In other words, and as George Orwell put it in 1984<\/em>:<\/p>\n

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Which means that Lynn Global serves as the ‘Welsh Government’s Ministry of Truth. But instead of a questioning Winston Smith we find an enthusiastic Stefan Rollnick.<\/p>\n

Though since he starred on this blog, Stefan’s presence on Linkedin has disappeared. Fortunately, I saved it ere it drifted off into the ether, for both posterity and your delectation. Here it is<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The briefest perusal of Rollnick’s background makes it clear that he’s Labour through and through. Which makes his job of defending the shower in Corruption Bay and slagging off their opponents almost instinctive.<\/p>\n

His output confirms that view.\u00a0A gem appeared on Nation.Cymru<\/a>, but I can’t seem to find it now on the site. Fortunately, again, I saved it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What’s striking is that the term “far-right<\/em>” is used a dozen times in this relatively short article. “Conspiracy<\/em>” is there six times. But nowhere do we see ‘far-left’. What does this tell us . . . apart from the fact that it’s a bit of a leftist rant?<\/p>\n

Well, on one level, we have a website funded by the ‘Welsh Government’ putting out BS from another outfit funded by Drakeford and his crew. (Will you miss him?) So no surprises there.<\/p>\n

But as I suggest, there is a dangerously ideological – and therefore divisive – edge to everything put out by the ‘Welsh Government’, or by Lynn, BBC and other mouthpieces.<\/p>\n

\u25ca<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

CONCLUSION<\/p>\n

The message we are being force-fed is that the ‘goodies’ of the Globalist-Green-Left are trying to save the planet, but are being opposed by the wicked ‘far-right’, and these villains are now manipulating farmers protests.<\/p>\n

Come on, this is pure pantomime.<\/p>\n

Why would I, a creature of the rational and reasoning right, a man who has loved nature all his life; who has children, grandchildren (and soon, great-grandchildren), want to destroy nature and the planet on which we all live?<\/p>\n

It makes no sense.<\/p>\n

What does make sense is a man who’s been around a bit, studied human nature, known quite a few con men (friends, some of them), many liars, a few sociopaths, understands how politics and control operate, and recognises a dirty campaign when he sees it.<\/p>\n

And so I’ve put out this unplanned and rather hasty post to warn people that there are dangerous and unscrupulous actors pushing the ‘Welsh Government’s message.<\/p>\n

They are prepared to lie, to vilify decent people, and to do just about anything to promote their agenda. So be warned!<\/p>\n

And remember! Behavioural science and bullshit have the same initials, and they amount to the same thing.<\/p>\n

And that’s where you’ll find the true ‘hidden agendas’.<\/p>\n
