I just don't see the point
I don't think anyone sees the point anymore. How does it save any money to the country the fact that now there's light at 6 and before was at 7am if now it's dark at 5 and before was at 6pm? Is there really a lot more of people awake between 6 to 7am than between 5 to 6pm?

Isn't it just so it's not dark at 2pm in winter?

It never gets dark at 2pm
But the change in winter makes the mornings lighter and the nights darker, so if it was going to be dark at 2pm, it'd happen quicker after the time change.

wasn't it something to do with farmers originally and they just haven't changed it?

Yes, because farmers need to start very early in the morning
I don't know why, though. I don't understand why during winter they can't start at 6am instead of at 5am; because, anyway, in 2 weeks it'll be dark until 7am.
