very much looking forward to Farage, Oakeshott, Hartley-Brewer and the rest demanding these idiots get the same jail time (5 years!) as the Just Stop Oil protestors… #FarmersProtest #jso

There’s no comparison at all. These thousands of farmers are protecting their livelihood and way of life from a spiteful tax. Just stop oil were a handful of privileged and entitled kids who had zero support. A recent survey had 93% support for farmers.
I live on a farm in Cambridgeshire and every single farmer I know will be affected by this spiteful tax. The figures put forward by Reeves are utter crap. Most gormless folk gobbing off about it online name check Dyson and Clarkson before they continue drinking their skinny latte
Fine. Every single person on the planet is being affected by climate change, especially farmers. Yet those demanding action by governments are arrested and some given long prison sentences. Why aren’t the farming protests being treated the same?
Agriculture is a unique business. I own £3m of land and in terms of cash haven’t got a pot to piss in. And I don’t want my kids to have to sell family land so that Reeves can flush the money down the toilet
Oh you poor broke person. Agriculture is a business like every other it is not unique just because you want to think it is. I was born in whittlesey and lived for many years in person drive and in all that time I never met a poor farmer and I knew loads
Not pointed one way or another, but don't farms get multiple subsidies? So how is this any different to the regular person getting benefits also having to pay inheritence tax? The average (sml-mid) business also won't be hit by new NI because there's a subsidy that covers that, too. I'm interested
