If the farmers were Just Stop Oil the Media would be screaming for them to be arrested. But because they are protesting for the billionaires and not against them, they have their full support.

Are those Members of our Parliament? Standing with a braying pack of antisocial demonstrators bringing London to a standstill ? Tut tut. I bet the Mail and Telegraph are in meltdown… no? How strange.
JSO want to help the little people.
They stand up to the rich folks in power signing off on deals that fill their pockets and make us and the next generation suffer.
The government cares little for those who don't line their pockets...
A lot of people here just don't get it, this will affect the real farmers and the billionaires will find away around it and buy up the land that family farmers will have to sell. So short sighted.
Oh the media loves them, they are on the side of the ‘hard working farmers’ 🤦♂️ they conned them into voting for Brexit of course, could be a coincidence.
It's not hard-working farmers that are affected. It's the fat rich lazy ones who don't know one end of a sheep from another and who think farming is about strutting about in a sports jacket and wellies and who've only ever seen a tractor in their accounts.
Farmers are the new fishermen for the press and they certainly don’t want people to focus on what really happened to fishing do they, if they could they would blame the EU or immigration- they may still 🤷♂️
I'm old enough to remember when the Daily Mail hated J Clarkson when he worked for the BBC. Now, for some unfathomable reason, he's the saviour of middle England.
I think most farmers are protesting because they know the average family farm does not make enough annual cash on a 1-2% yield to pay the likely IHT (even over 10 years). So they’ll have to sell all or part of the farm to a non-farming landowner.

Who unlike the Hooray Henries is at least in possession of a proper farmer's name.

Those fighting to protect humanity and the planet deserve 2-5 years in prison!!
If you are only worried about the wealth of your own kids, then you can be interviewed on News at ten.
Not to mention the vast amounts of actual oil they use.
You know, the tax exempt diesel, the oils & lubricants that can be written off against tax, after claiming back the VAT.
