Sure, someone always believes such things, .. is that really widespread and a core belief of the "the UK Leftist/Green crowd." ?

The constant observation made about the UK is there's always an excess amplification of what various groups are alleged to believe.

Last I checked, the current King is in the "Leftist/Green" camp and pro-farmer. (by default, he'd be "UK" and not a "crowd" though).
