Especially after crippling domestic farmers with inheritance tasks. I can see columns of John Deere farming equipment with big white Z's on them occupying the M25

Frank. Why should everyone else have to pay inheritance tax and not farmers?

Do you enjoy eating?

Do you ever go shopping?

The vast majority of our food comes from larger, more efficient farms abroad.

Stop pretending farmers are a public service, because they aren't. They're private businesses like any other.

I also enjoy wearing clothes and being warm, but that didn't save the mines or the mills. So me spurious claim to uniqueness shouldn't save the farmers.

You need to watch the Amazon series, "Clarkson's Farm", John. You need to update your prejudices. Replacing them with facts rather than your preferred hyperbole might be a good place to start. You can find the first three seasons of the show free to download online. There's a reason it is the top popular show in Britain.

I suspect that the REAL reason for taxing farmers' lands when the lands are passed on to the next generation is to make it financially impossible to continue traditional farming so that the owners of the land will be forced to sell their properties to criminal financial organizations like (((BlackRock))) instead of passing the farm onto their children. The British government is complicit in the theft of these farms.

Plus if lunatics like Starmer would have put a stop to unfettered mass migration, realistically taxes could have been lowered.

All food should be as local as possible. Making life harder for British farmers is an unnecessary alteration to the status quo. If you want fairness then cancel inheritance tax for everyone else. After all QE is printed money that pays for government bonds, the interest on which is handed back to the government. So don't give me any bullshit about taxes funding the government. Taxes are a mechanism of social control and exerting power. Hurting farmers is a land grab by psychopathic elites who would employ the flimsy moral bullshit arguments the likes of yours here.

Why make the status quo harder for farmers who are on the edge of survival?

See YouTube channel Harry's Garage. He's a UK farmer. He gets paid around 4 times more not to plant a crop at all than he does for doing nothing at all. They're trying to get rid of our food sources.

It is the globalist mentality. The corporation prefers to have an overcrowded island that MUST import everything from Spanish glass houses they own, because it is more profitable that way, and can be justified as "cheaper" when of course they are complicit in the policies that led to overcrowding in the first place.

Jamis6528. Yes! It's the perfect crime - No motive.

Frank. Why make it harder for everyone else, but exclude farmers? There are many others in far greater distress.

Arthurdecco. Clarkson's Farm? That's where you're getting your information? He's a perfect example of a multi-millionaire who bought a farm as a tax dodge.

Not a convincing argument in the lot of them.

Your question is backwards. No one is making anything harder for anyone else but farmers. Why not reduce inheritance taxes for others. If you want a mass migration overpopulated island with no food source beholden to corporations who own both Spanish glass houses and Starmer and the UK government, just admit it. These midwits do not understand that the corporations offering these government lackeys retirement plans are the ones who will profit from an overcrowded island full of slaves with no means of production and no means of challenging their prices. The fact you pretend not to see this and the fact you misrpresent everyone else as being harmed if they are not a farmer makes it clear you are either a useful idiot to their agenda, or part of it.

No Frank. Farmers are just being brought in line with everyone else.

If everyone else has to pay inheritance tax, so should farmers.

I couldn't give a flying one what you think of me. I don't respect you or your Daily Mail, ignorant opinions.

The problems we have in this country stem from neo-liberalism, austerity and Thatcher's "No such thing as Society" attitudes, that I have no doubt you voted for.

But rather than accept you were fooled and taking responsibility, you punch down and blame illegal immigrants. They are a nuisance, but only an idiot thinks they are remotely the biggest issue we face.

And I just know you're going to double down on your stupidity by voting Reform. You can fool some of the people all of the time.....
