The Farmers in Europe have a different approach.

To the left is a picture of farmers spraying the legislature with milk. Below on the right is a blockade of the square where the Milk Hosing took place.

Think about it.

Dozens of dairy farmers blockaded a factory in Worcestershire as part of a campaign for a better deal on the price they are paid for milk.

Muller, which owns Robert Wiseman dairies, agreed to increase the price to 29p per litre in September.
In July, farmers and the processing firms they supply agreed on the broad principles of a deal in their dispute over milk prices.
The draft agreement related to a voluntary code of practice designed to give farmers more bargaining power.
Mr Handley said: "Negotiations have broken down and we have every intention of protesting again before Christmas.
"Farmers are not receiving the money to cover the bills and costs are escalating."
He said the group had staged protests in Manchester, Derbyshire and Leicestershire in the last fortnight.

Tim Brooks, a farmer from Leominster in Herefordshire who took part in the protest, said: "We haven't got the price we want, we are fighting for a fairer price."
