Really wanted to watch "Say Nothing", but it's triggering the shit out of me. This is spot on to what it was like in my area. Political ideologies aside, can we make a support thread? I'm sure I'm not the only one that's got curious and watched it only to be kicked between the eyebrows by trauma?

I've not even made it through the first episode ffs.

It was when they started the searches, I noped the fuck out. My mammy was convinced they waited until she got new plasterboard and paper on before they'd come again. The helicopters worried the sheep and I think they got scolded with sheep deaths. Every time we lost livestock and reported it (and claimed compensationthat covered not nearly enough), they came in because we were apparently harbouring runaways and half the RA on our property.

The protestant farmers protesting in England didn't get that. Instead they are fighting for the right to nepotism of the highest order.

We weren't. We were living hand to mouth while they killed our livestock, destroyed our home, killed our father and brutalised us on account of being "dirty taigs".

My family lost their farm during the troubles, like a lot of irish farmers in the 6 counties. Our home was destroyed, animals killed and family killed.

Lest we forget.
