The Farmers Protests in London

[pirate]

So the farmers block streets and cause traffic jams across the capital.
Now I personally agree with their right to protest,
I am just shocked that the people who complained about the Just Stop Oil people causing traffic jams and stopping ambulances are strangley quiet about the farmers, I wonder why that is?

 

[hilts]

They watch Clarksons farm and Emmerdale probably.

 

[babyape]

Saw them go through Camberwell earlier. Right big buggers they were.

Must have cost them a fortune in diesel and ULEZ charges.

There are protests in that part of London every week. So I presume you want people to complain about every protest?

Most working people don’t drive to that area either - with the underground/public transport.

Generally people don’t mind peaceful protesters. The just stop oil lot were stopping trains, traffic and generally just being annoying after a while.

I don't understand why it's not possible to only charge the tax when the farm is sold? A part of me thinks it's unfair fo charge death duties at all but I do think farms are an exception. If your parents die and leave a house then why should you pay tax anyway if you sell it, but farms are very likely to stay within a family and forcing them to pay 20% of the total value of the estate is likely to result in them being forced to sell as a minimum part of the assets and it most cases all of the farm. I don't think that's fair and the policy needs a re-think and I hope government think again rather than just steam rollering this through because they can.

even better get their nemesis - HMRC - to visit them whilst they are gridlocked in Whitehall and dip their tanks. Anyone running on Red can be prosecuted. The only permissible uses are

farmers can use red diesel for a number of purposes, including:

• Agricultural operations
  Farmers can use red diesel for agricultural operations such as growing crops, harvesting, and raising animals.
  
  
• Heating
  Farmers can use red diesel to heat farm buildings, greenhouses, and livestock shelters.
  
  
• Snow and ice
  Farmers can use red diesel to deal with snow, ice, frost, and flooding, including travel to and from the area.
  
  
• • Private land
    Farmers can use red diesel on private land where the vehicle is normally kept for agricultural use.
    
  • Short road travel
    Farmers can apply for a NIL license from the DVLA to travel short distances on the road between different blocks of farmland.
  •

Less easy for the rest of us to understand.

Think he’s keen to have Rayner in charge.

The only change they should make is up the threshold.

I personally think all inheritance tax should be scraped.

There’s an interesting argument that inheritance itself should be abolished. Similar to hereditary peers. Humankind by Rutger Bregman touches on it. Good book btw.
