3 d. ago ‘I didn’t realise pigs were like, massive’: the London rapper who fell in love with farming

Lewisham MC Fekky went from collaborating with Skepta to buying his own farm – without ever having set foot on one. Hood 2 Farm sees him trying to learn the skills, and turning his wild, slapstick journey into hilarious TVIn Hood 2 Farm, a 76-year-old shepherd is explaining his daily routine. “There’s only my wife and I, and when she gets out of bed, I get in, and when I get out of bed, she gets in,” he says.

My mother is both a protester and a nurturer; she has been teargassed at least twice (that I know of) while protesting in the name of human rights.
