If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much.

needs more protesters
Seems that’s not important if it’s the @nfudc.bsky.social
The only difference is which political parties those groups vote for.
Compare with marches to rejoin the EU or against the Iraq war?
Get TRIPLE allowance on IHT(£3m not £1m)
Pay half rate on IHT (20% not 40%)
Because of ALL THAT - land values have rocketed for 40 years.
JUST EFFIN’ GREEDY, or what?
So with the greatest respect Keith wind your neck in.
Whether it's in assets or cash or wealth or however you want to describe it. Technicalities.
We're all skint but you're lucky enough to be in a group that are allowed to block roads to protest.
I don’t agree with blocking roads
Maybe the struggling farmers should decouple themselves from the farmers who can afford to take the day off, transport expensive farm equipment to London and drive it around slowly for the cameras?

PS. One of the gantry 5 is a farmer.
It makes me give up hope for our children.
I'm sure there'll be a rightful media outrage about that!
Oh, wait...
It's Wellies for wealth, yet another fake movement
Blocking the tractors in.
I wonder how long it would be before the Police come and arrest you for causing an obstruction?

If you avoid tax then you harm the country and the lives of the majority of people. You're no patriot just a criminal.
Pull the other one.
There's nothing worse than the disruption and inconvenience of a human protest delaying traffic for a couple if hours.
Unlike two cat 5 cyclones a week apart on either side of the continent, or unprecedented bushfires in sub antarctic forests and tropical islands, or snow bombs, or...
Just Stop Oil purposely disrupt without warning (and they've just helped turn the whole climate thing into a culture war which is a disaster).
Just disrupting people's lives to get your message across doesn't always work out as you want (which is why they've changed strategy?)
(and I think the sentences are ridiculous btw, just fed up with comparing with other pre-arranged protests).
Climate protests are usually fully liaised with the police; the difference (and the hypocrisy) is who govt instruct police to arrest…and who are let off Scott free - by the police & the press.
(still think the sentences are well ott)

Have I got that right?
But maybe they / we should take lessons from the farmers 😆

No Farmers
No Food
No Future
No Brainer
Is also true
Were HMRC out there dipping tanks?
With decent financial education, many of these people would realise that the only sensible thing to do is to sell up and invest.
That would also lead to consolidation of farm holdings.
More efficient.
It's all the same Op. And it is ongoing.
The vast majority of farmers will not be required to pay inheritance tax. As for the rich "farmers" who inheritance their land, pay your bloody taxes.
