The Labour Government

No need to arrest them the thick pricks are displaying number plates. Just note them down and rather JSO them rock up on their doorsteps in a few weeks time like the Police do with racist rioters. I mean number plates for fucks sake - all revolutionaries had state registered identifiable plates don't they lol ???

Thick pricks now lol

To think as well, you used to care about the poor farmers so much ;-)

Of course not, that's my point.

Rather ironically the only people who actually benefits is the rich and major agri corporations because we'll see a depression in land values. That's a huge opportunity to buy up land from farmers who are edged into the tax bracket, or people who just can't be arsed with it.

Obviously the government is saying that only a handful will be affected but I'm not so sure. If that was the case and farmers have done their sums then it's hard to understand why they're protesting. I wouldn't turn up to protest against something that doesn't affect me.

The optics however aren't great when the protest is fronted by a multi-millionaire like Jeremy Clarkson and Andrew Lloyd-Webber in a £1500 Canada Goose coat....

Well, if land values are depressed or fall then the IHT threshold is less likely to be breached and no (or less) IHT will be paid.

Although the same farmers will no doubt protest that the Govt has trashed the value of their farms.

In short they want high value farms and to pay no tax. Sort of having your cake and eating it scenario. Not going to say they are coming across as self-entitled fuckers, but…

Tractor looks expensive. On the upside they can sell it to pay the IHT.

They could but they won’t need to.

Labour will backtrack and you and others in here will laud the decision and claim you never once defended the policy in the first place.

I lost respect for farmers back during the foot and mouth outbreak which they milked and by deliberately spreading by selling barrels of infected cattle blood for lots of money on the black market between eachother in order to claim the govt money that was on offer for them

The hate and envy is very paltable aswell as sad.

Winter fuel cut to put 50,000 pensioners into relative poverty

Government estimates reveal the impact of cuts to the winter fuel allowance, announced earlier this year.

I didn't think we would see the day where a Labour government would enact things like this? Very dissapointing to say the least.

There’s a lot of fakery on both sides. The notion that he cares about farmers is for the birds.

You can please some people some of the time. And some people will be pleased none of the time.
