THE Government’s response to the flooding in southern England has at times seemed little short of pathetic.
Now a group of North Yorkshire farmers have shown Whitehall the way.
They have just completed a 530-mile round trip with two tractors to deliver 16 bails of straw to Somerset farmers for their cattle.
A gesture, maybe: but sometimes that’s what is needed. “Seeing their faces made the trip worthwhile,” said organiser Myles Yates.
What a great effort. Well done to all concerned.
