“Their living is sometimes very dangerous.”
Reasoning & Evidence09 Jul 2026
HSE describes farming as a hazardous industry and says agriculture, forestry and fishing is the riskiest industry sector. The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch’s fishing vessel safety study likewise says earlier research had highlighted the dangers of working in the fishing industry. So the claim that these people’s living is sometimes very dangerous is supported, especially for farmers and fishermen. Sources: HSE, “Health and safety in agriculture” (hse.gov.uk); GOV.UK / Marine Accident Investigation Branch, “Fishing vessel safety study” (gov.uk). (hse.gov.uk)
From article
You write about how much fun you had, ‘drinking more or less continuously’, and what shedloads of money you were getting. What have you got in common with the kind of people you identify as the rank and file of Ukip: farmers, deep-sea fishermen, small shopkeepers? These are people whose living is often precarious, sometimes very dangerous, never ‘fun’, and they work very hard.
