Can you imagine if those first two women's dad died and he left it to their brother and they pay the 20% inheritance and then the brother died 1 year later then they'd have to pay that 20% again.
None of us should be paying this. We've paid tax on everything we own and every thing we've earned or bought. All our lives its tax and tax and more Tax and then tax has to be paid AGAIN by our descendants for whatever we manage to leave them.
The fkn roads aren't even being swept anymore here.

I suppuse this is a drop in the ocean really because this Country will be complete chaos in another 10 years.

I stand with the farmer's of the uk.

[Ryanjoned]

So sad for the farmer's that it has come to this because of our greedy politicians,

[scottfreeman]

we need a revoloution

The people who pull the strings have been bending us over far too long.

people do not realise were living in modern rome, The majority are Controlled by the cost of living, forced to work so they don't have time to think for themselves or act against the oppression.

they have slowly oppressed us little by little so we tolerate it, If everyone took a step back and analysed the current state of our societal structure and economic state you should be disgusted.

[hothe]

A cynical political move that is not well supported.

Nobody should pay inheritance tax, especially the farmers who can't just sell a bit to raise cash. It's a death tax on things you've already paid tax on to buy, so effectively taxed twice. Move abroad now if you can before things get much worse.

We should strongly demand the resignation of Starmer. He’s destroying our country by the minute.”

[bertiew]

Since Brexit consecutive British governments have abandoned the farmers.

[royboy]

Poor farmers, if only they didn't have enough assets, money etc to pass on to their children, a bit like 90%of the population.

[danage]

Bring a gift for starmer a lot of manure ?

[jjamanda]

100% behind the farmers. But just watch the supermarkets rather than support the farmers with a fair price for the food they produce they will hike the prices of everyday products as they become harder to stock milk, eggs, bread and so on please check prices

[DavidWilliams-pn]

Starmer will be out in a few months, his backbenchers and MPs with rural seats don’t want to lose their jobs

[GilesTaylor]

Perhaps protests should be mean tested?

[stetomlinson]

Farmers are banging on about “passing on their land to their children”. But at the fist sign of a developer with a cheque book it goes quicker than you can say KERCHING!

[pitbladdodavid]

Sadly the public need to realise that food comes from these farmers and the only way that will be seen is if food is not in the stores.

[josephfranzen]

The salary most farmers live off of is absolutely ludicrous considering the significant amount of work they do and how much they contribute to the infrastructure. You know England, in America the last time the British government imposed an unfair tax on us we had a whole thing about it. The Ludy isn’t too hard to construct 😂

[gaylealleluia]

The govt wants the farms. Greed. Good on the farmers. 🇬🇧 🚜 🚜

[volatilesky]

6:03 shoutout to the guy with the funniest tractor horn lol

[bustedfender]

Ask the nurses, junior doctors and teachers to return the solidarity and support you showed them for 14 years.

The tide of change is here, prisons, and immigrants get free rent, food, and our poor English are starving on less than healthy benefit allocations, the future will see our country taking produce from overseas and it will increment yearly, then suddenly, it will stop and it will be war... (And in our distant future, again people will ask, what was Egypt, what happened before this time, was there a war of mass destruction? It is no joke that K.S. once said in his early alcoholic days of 1986/88, "I want an all black Parliament. " [...] he was removed from that same residential home party, as one lady screamed at his profanities "Get out you nasty drunk". I clearly remember him being so drunk, he zig zagged away into the distance, unable to walk straight. It was long ago decided, by people who knew him or met him, that he is totally bonkers and not a sane man. How times change, as he portrays himself as a squeaky clean vege and it is so scary, that he now runs the country. I do believe he is the beginning of the end of England as we want it to be, and our farmers, if not supported, will mark the end for England and English people. Without FOOD we will starve if we rely too heavily on importations. And to answer, "The door is open, leave, if you don't like it." I am really thinking about it, as without our farmers, it will be a bleak and cold future in an over populated postage stamp with no food production. Ancient history tells a sad tale, if you look and we are speedily zooming towards destruction. If Russia takes the bread basket and we have no basket of our own, we will not survive a war.
