Farmers admit they just like holding up traffic

After many weeks of tractors filling up the motorways in protests across the UK and Europe, farmers say it is because they ‘Love seeing the queues behind them.'

A spokesperson for the ‘No to trees, no to Spring Watch alliance’ Peter Thwack told us, ‘These protests are important of course but mostly we love the queues.’

‘You can’t beat cars and cars, with all their drivers absolutely fuming, stuck behind tractors. Farming is a way of life, the early mornings, late nights, and creating massive queues on roads is a part of that culture. My family has been farming our fields for over a hundred years now and we’ve been holding up traffic for almost just as long. It’s in our blood.’

Traffic laws insist that tractors are to pull over if 3 or more cars are stacked behind them but Mr Thwack disagrees, ‘There’s no pleasure in that. I like my car queues like I like my fields of cows, as far as the eye can see!’
