It has been an incredibly challenging few weeks for British pig farmers and it will take time to resolve the crisis but there is now a way forward as a result of the measures announced by @DefraGovUK . Thank you to all those farmers who made their voices heard.

I’m also baffled as to why you give everyone two week’s notice ahead of a hosepipe ban. Surely that just leads to a behavioural change that increases water usage for the next 14 days. What would happen if you told people there will be ban on loo paper sales in two week’s time?
