This is from @FarmersWeekly. It says my prostate cancer isn't a joking matter, then proceeds to make it one, while attempting an entirely fatuous connection.
Contest my views by all means. But this is not acceptable.

@FarmersWeekly I have now written to @KarlSchneider, editor of @FarmersWeekly, asking him how this passage passed editorial scrutiny, whether he considers it acceptable and, if not, what he intends to do about it.
@FarmersWeekly @KarlSchneider Thanks to the wonderful NHS, and with the help of anaesthetics, antibiotics and the other essential elements of modern surgery, I am, hopefully, now cured of prostate cancer. I'm always happy to talk about it. I'm not happy to have it used as a political football.
@FarmersWeekly @KarlSchneider 72 hours have passed since I wrote to @KarlSchneider, editor of @FarmersWeekly, about this article mocking my cancer, and I’ve had no answer. The only action FW has taken is to promote the article on Twitter, which suggests it could be using the controversy to generate clicks.
@FarmersWeekly @KarlSchneider I fear that @FarmersWeekly is hoping to ride this one out, without responding to me. Using someone’s cancer as a weapon with which to attack them is unacceptable. This article should be amended or removed. And I would appreciate an apology.
