Re: Farmers are revolting

Good to see that 'man of the people' Farage has been vocal in his support of farmers in regard to this inheritance tax whilst conveniently forgetting the damage Brexit has played on the industry as a whole.

He's offered to speak at the rally but the farmers organising are considering his generosity of him speaking for them.

Good ole Nige. There for the downtrodden again and it's definitely not about him.

Re: Farmers are revolting

Will Hutton did an interesting piece in The Observer yesterday. If his take is right (he has always been very careful with his numbers) there will be 500 rich farmers affected each year tops, and the tractor convoys organised by the NFU claiming small hill farmers will be driven under by inheritance tax changes are all bollux:

Re: Farmers are revolting

Farmers unhappy that the subsidy money they receive from taxpayers is going to come with obligations not to destroy the environment. Also raging that they no longer get preferential tax treatment to the refs of the population. Revolting is the right word for them

Re: Farmers are revolting

Didn't Mau get rid of the farmers or am I thinking of some other despot? Maybe Stalin?

Re: Farmers are revolting

Stalin purged the kulaks. Starved millions to death in the name of collectivism

Really? Most farms worth over a million ? If they pass them on to carry on farming there is no way they should be taxed on it, Christ we barely make anything here anymore and soon we might be importing milk ! We need farms

First they came for the 500 rich farmers, and I did not speak out, because I was not a rich farmer.

Really?

Your position is surely more Jeremy Clarkson than Pastor Niemoller.

'Nooooooooooo!' would be more appropriate.

Re: Farmers are revolting

I thought that flat capped celebrity farmers spokesman outside the Welsh Labour conference was a right entitled tosser

Every time these farmers want something they expect the prime minister just to turn up and speak to them in the car park ?

The majority of farmers voted brexit
