Town or country?

This morning on the news I heard a report about the problems faced by Britain's Hill farmers and also about lack of affordable housing in the countryside. If it were not for sheep, cows and pigs etc. our countryside would not be as beautiful as it is at present and so someone thinks that the farmers should be given more help in order to preserve 'our green and pleasant land'. I couldn't agree more.
However, there are fewer people working in agriculture because there is a shortage of decent affordable homes in country areas for farm workers who are not exactly well paid. I wonder why!
The answer is quite simple and it's because any half decent looking property has been bought up as a second home for the super rich city dwellers. These people want to 'get away from it all' a couple of times a year, even after their two or three expensive holidays abroad, and because they have so much disposable income they have pushed the property prices out of reach of normal hard working people. These are the farm workers who are trying to support their families and make a decent living by working on the farms which help to keep the countryside as it is today.
Not only do these city and town dwellers want to own the most desirable properties but they also have the gall to complain about cockerels crowing, cows moo-ing, church bells ringing and horses in the roads so that they can't get their wretched Chelsea tractors past. Oh, and the smell caused by that good old fashioned farming practice called 'muck spreading'!
They don't use village shops, they prefer to bring their goodies from Waitrose or Fortnum and Mason so why the hell don't they stay in their cities and towns where they can get everything on their own doorstep and leave the countryside to the people who work and live there?
Perhaps this new government should seriously consider putting a stop to the 'townies' buying up village and country properties for a 'second home' because after all, many people can't afford one home to call their own, let alone having a second one.
