NFU Demonstration at Pershore


At Pershore in Worcestershire the local MP, Sir Gerald Nabarro, rides into town on a tractor and trailer like a Roman gladiator, albeit at a somewhat slower pace. Politically he's a fish out of water: a Conservative MP supporting farmers at a trade union demo protesting against the Labour government's Farm Price Review. "And why shouldn't farmers drive Jaguars?" Nabarro blusters in reply to one of reporter Jeffrey Watson's more searching questions.
