Farmer tried to answer some of the criticisms but failed to convince them, with people telling him that he was highly paid and did not understand the suffering of those on benefits. MHRN and DPAC are calling for a boycott of Mind and for people to stop making donations to the charity. Peter Marshall Alamy Live News
