Timeless (Preseli HIlls) Film37_Foma100_9

A view, a way of life, that appears unchanged for decades. Hidden from view (by farmhouse walls and/or lack of knowledge of history) are the impacts of political policy (block planting monoculture) and technology (internet, mobile phones, agrochemistry). Rural poverty and affluence sit side-by-side, cheek-by-jowl (the farmer, underpaid, underappreciated, controlled by supermarkets sit alongside the 'sold a house in the city for the cost of a farm, retired on a good pension' pushing up house prices to exclusion of anyone local trying to enter the housing market.

 

I'm not begrudging those who have - I too, would do the same. The problem lies in the single-mindedness of the powerful market to which those in power have yielded (there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed on the alter of profit) without a thought for the greater good.
