At least the cows won't be farting anymore!
If i was a farmer I'd be pretty pissed off that the likes of Clarkson were putting themselves at the forefront of the protests and it's entirely the fault of people like him trying to exploit a tax loophole that the rules have had to be changed anyway.
He's caused this issue with the other greedy people.
Welsh farmers learning from continental cousins and extinction rebellion..

I don't see much public support for the farmers' position, outside of wealthy farmers or those looking to score a few political points from it.
I can't see the farmers really digging in with any protests either to the point where they start damaging their own livelihoods over something that will only affect a proportion of them after they die.
I think they'll be able to ride this out.
Once the media lose interest it'll be quickly forgotten - and the millionaire tax dodgers will all move onto another scam.
Some farmers not all (those who allow boevar to be injected to their live stock) will soon be loosing the support from an increasing number of citizens, from lists circulated thus far, only two products sometimes fall into our shopping basket, these will now be replaced with alternatives, and unless anything changes milk will be bought only from one particular outlet.
Another big protest today on Whitehall and talk of strikes on the way.
I really do think this is the second big error of judgement the govt have made after the winter fuel cuts for pensioners. Just the wrong fights to pick

Farmers own 70% of the UK's land - yet they contribute just 0.6% to our economy.
Why should these millionaire landowners pay 20% inheritance tax while everyone else pays 40%?
word for word

Kash Patel will declass and release the Epstein / Diddy logs and put the fear into Hollywood and the elites, if he doesn't, then it will for me just confirm that Trump is just another deep stater (say a different lodge) but we'll just have to wait and see.

Probably winnable ones that don't destroy confidence in the economy leading to two months of contraction, plummeting polls resulting in the most unpopular new government in n history, resulting in likely deaths of old folk, farmers protesting and threatening to strike etc.
I have no idea who is advising the Labour Party but I would sack them
I know you dine off a different perspective so looking at those businesses encouraging investors that agricultural land is and has been a fantastic investment for whoever compared with other takeovers tells a tale I guess!
When CPI inflation is accounted for, land values have seen significant growth in real terms (as seen in figure 1), at an annualised rate of 3.1% from 1991 to 2021 (a total of 152.3%), demonstrating a substantial increase for those who have invested over a generation. Against rising inflation, pragmatic investors have been able to use farmland in order to diversify their portfolio and protect wealth, safe in the knowledge that the long-term performance offers a strong value uplift plus a rental income stream

So tax them if it's removed from agricultural use. Not when it is passed on for continual use in agriculture.
There is a reason they are so furious and it's not because they are passing on millions to their kids - if that were the case they wouldn't be standing knee deep in shite day in day out.
