The Farmers Protests in London

[metalblue]

Are owner-occupier-farmers working class?

Of course they are. Working the land and animals is proper hard graft.

You can inherit a business and pay nowt until you sell it - isn’t farming a business ?? Sell it on? You pay tax. That seems fair to me.

I’d also wager that would catch the likes of Dyson and Clarkson unless their kids fancy keeping it on of course but if they spent millions on land their kids can’t get their hands on those millions…

Wonder how much red diesel was in those tractors?

None unless they’re stupid.

Did they all pay the congestion charge and ULEZ fee for their day out?

Exempt from both I believe.

Totally agree

Imagine having to Google “Tractor rallies U.K.” and finding some niche yonnerville parade as a Whataboutery.

Should be up for a Whataboutery gong that one for stretch of the year.

Funny.

The chemical dye added to the fuel is designed to linger in a tank and is almost impossible to remove, so if you've used red diesel in the past, you could be caught years down the line.

Why didn’t these farmers protest when Liz Truss signed that deal with Australia that meant they could flood the UK with cheap meat?

Funny.

Good for the goose n all that ;-)

I can guarantee that I’ve never googled regional tractor parades to try and get out of saying that i didn’t really care about ambulances getting through, it was just that I don’t like JSO.

Still, whatever floats your boat.
