The Farmers Protests in London

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…

You have to pay tax on the assets of an inherited business too.

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.

They’d be using regular diesel - would drain off red and replace. Any test would be looking for a specific PPM threshold (or whatever they measure it by) not some trace amount - this isn’t forensic science - so not sure what you mean by “caught”

Hmmm that’s true (relief is cut to 50%) and that does include land, I don’t think that’s “right” either.

Personally I’m ok with it but I think they should have set the threshold higher.

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

Yet they complain about targeted taxes. Maybe the way forward is a 'tailback tax' .... either that or an outright ban on roads they shouldn't be on.

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.

The only tractor rallies I know about is when a preserved railway runs a class 37 special.

I was googling tractor rallies while in work earlier and for some reason a load of pornography appeared on my screen.
