FARMER PROTESTS IN LONDON....I'M GOING

[@deeannh17]

I don’t think meeting the MPs will do anything. They’re not farmers and they represent the corporations that fund them.

Never apologise… you are our bread & butter ❤

Don't apologise Rich, as you say its the biggest thing to have hit farming, it needs the publicity, and the government needs to be held to account for this.

[@sheilabing9588]

Good on you Richard. I hope the UK population get behind you farmers. The new government have completely shafted the UK Farmers. You don’t have to show the happy stuff. We’re here to support you through thick and thin. ❤

[@Cazzoo501]

Well said. 😊

[@pete888uk7]

No apologies needed….iam not a farmer , but you and all farmers in the UK have my full support …right behind you boys and gals

[@thebairdMi]

great point about the legacy tax and the developer. In my home town many of the farms are now home's and solar farms

[@thebairdMi]

not growing or rasing things or live stock

[@neil4uk175]

Too many millionaires are using it to avoid tax and have messed it up for decent farmers. You can't blame Government for closing that down. It only affects people with farms that are worth a million plus right?

Stay positive- Thank you Richard for an excellent explanation, it’s helps to keep farmers focused in this difficult time.

Well presented Richard. Both rallies are needed - the NFU to get direct to the MPs and Parliament, and the bigger demonstration/March to show the strength of feeling to the public and the rest of the world.

!It will get worse for the family farmers the WEF Blair klaus Schwab don’t want family farms they want to control your food.The Farmers need to do what the French Farmers do and Visit their Local Labour town hall and use the slurry tractor to show em how they fertilize.How can labour say they support British farming when they introduce a very specific section of the new inheritance tax that specifically targets farmers?The fact you pay taxes on all this for your entire life and then have the gov practically steal a fat % as tax when you want to pass it on to family is the most disgusting thing. Gov deserve NOTHING from inheritance if you ask me.

You don't need to apologise Richard, you have said what needs to be said. These politicians do not understand farming.

Good Man it is very important to make the point to Farmer Harmer Starmer that the farming folk are not very happy with his policies

[@erichoskin1687]

Richard, don't be sorry, we all feel your pain & concern, we are behind you100%, have they done any homework on this issue, they say that only about 7% of farms will be affected........more like 70% !!! Chin up mate🚜

[@gillycooper8717]

With mathematically challenges MP's like Diane Abbott & a Chancellor who is NOT an economist, despite putting it on her CV & Labour's spiteful envy & chips on shoulders, it doesn't surprise me that they stick their knives into farmers.

[@InfiniteCookie3-jo2bb]

Spent majority of my childhood on farms due to horses and horse livery. Had some of the best moments on farms 🥺 feeding cows and holding baby lambs. farms provide so much for the U.K. even for those of us who need stables for our horses 🥺 there’s a local farm near me and sometimes we go and get duck eggs and there’s always fresh fruit and veg in their shop 🫶🏻

[@williambeard5526]

First time watching your channel. What I will say is this is the place to talk about the current government. Some people think milk comes from the supermarket, have no idea that it comes from a cow. People need to educate themselves with how and where we get our food from. No farmers, no food. No food, no life. I find it sad that people feel nothing for making celebrities rich beyond belief but not interested in our own food source. 😢

[@tjmfarming9584]

Richard, you aren't alone in this fight. Farmers in my neck of the woods are facing a similar fight with our labor government trying to shaft farming and then some, particularly with the sheep industry here. We've been doing a campaign against that particular policy since May and have managed to gain public support not through violence, but peaceful protest running trucks and utes through the Perth CBD and even managed to get a NFF rally together in Canberra in September. I While I've heard other people in my area say stuff along the lines of "They voted labour in, now they have to face the consequences" I beg to differ in that regard. I say good on ya to you and all our farming counterparts in the UK for taking a stand against this stupid policy. You don't need to show the happy stuff all the time, sometimes it's important to show the brutal reality of Farming. And if that requires talking about politics that affects farming, so be it. We'll stick with you through thick and thin. Best of luck for the Protests in London. Sending support from Australia!

[@christinecarr440]

What ever happened to " BUY BRITISH" I was brought up on that.Support the UK Farmers, Unity and solidarity is victory. Don't let the government push them around defend them at all costs.This is happening around the world , Belgium , France, Spain , Italy even India and other eastern countries. This can’t be a coincidence but a plan from governments to control what we eat and do .

[@zoeathomson4305]

Stay strong farmers millions are with you 🥰💪

[@user-zz9gn2dc3l]

This is long overdue. I stand with you farmers. Do not comply any longer with govt sponsored tyranny. Freedom from immoral taxes, bogus testing, chemicals in our food! We need food security in the UK. We need our farmers ❤️

[@pash47]

No need to apologise Richard, this is as much to do about farming as any other topic. It will have a massive effect on the family farm. I came out of farming 20 years ago and can imagine how devastating this Labour policy would be. I was fortunate in that I have one daughter who was not interested in farming, this made my choices easier. Best of luck in London, I do hope it opens Rachel Thieves eyes as to the damage she is doing ..

[@enginefool692]

My last dealings with the NFU they didn't want my business.....

[@user-zz9gn2dc3l]

They are probably entirely controlled as well.

[@spiercephotography]

I'm interested in whatever you're dealing with/affecting at the moment! It's all farming related- youtube is great for being used as a platform to raise awareness, and that's what you're doing! I hope you guys can make a change and help them understand , best of luck at the meeting and march!

[@johnlongstaff4532]

Good on you, but I think the NFU have sold you all out to the government. It would have had more impact, and garnered more support, had thousands of tractors, and other farm vehicles, descended on Westminster.

[@user-zz9gn2dc3l]

Yes and showered it with muck 💩 They should blockade foreign imports too.

Rich, please don't apologize for keeping us all informed with what is going on. These political decisions directly affect the future livelihood of yours and thousands of other family farms. Without the farm there would be no Funky Farmer and that would be a shame. Good luck and crack on from the US.

[@welshhomestead]

Quite Richard - we need to be aligned and joined up - its all about building pressure on the Gov to make them see this is a mistake. You're profile is important! So go for it ! Get the NFU to apply the pressure. All power to all the farmers united!

Farmers Unite With Unite The Kingdom. Protest Will Be Over 250,000,000 This Effects Every Citizen.

[@jeremiahkearney5191]

Morning Richard. While the general public are currently on side, it’s very easy to loose them. Of course you must put your point across regarding this tax . And as I have said previously keep the pressure on as ye could be fighting this tax for years.

[@BerndFelsche]

Keep farming. Small and large. Keeping it in the family is important and the tax will decimate that base. Anybody who has given it some thought realizes that family farms run on love; the love of producing food; the love of the land; and the love of the family history in far.ing.😊

[@titaniumman1493]

I would happily pay more for milk if 100% of the increase went to the farmers.

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

Very well said, Richard. I was in farming most of my life. Although I retired a long time ago, I can still sympathise with the many family farms . Farmland is either being covered by solar farms, or housing to cope with the ever increasing illegal immigrant population!

[@IeuanBevan.]

Is anyone going to go regardless of what NFU are saying. And can you update us on what this second rally is?

[@RAT.MAN.]

Farmers need to protest on their local roads. say every week in their old working tractors, Not the New £250K flash ones. The public are behind us , Oh & we need to stop selling to labour voters

I was born just after the Second World War food rationing was still in place till 1954 unfortunately people of my generation are getting less the generations of today don’t realise how much this country owes farmers for what they did in the war and after the war finished the armed forces did the dying but without the farmers the uk would have had to surrender

[@geraldbeard856]

where's your brother too ??? if he's around surely he can do the milking, feeding etc. i'd love to go to london for the day and show my support but running my farm on my own it's not possible. good to hear you got your cows out again ........a dry November is a god send for us ........our land drains well so we didn't get the flooding issues that you did but were saving straw by keeping everything out which is going to save a fair few quid and cattle seem happy to be out too

[@oldskoolgooner]

Hello Richard The content of this video is so very important that you highlight/champion issues that affect British farmers, I see it like this, If farmers accept this inheritance nonsense, what’s next for farmers from this socialist government? Farming is the back bone of this country. I’m a Londoner and I will be there on the 19th to support your protest. I follow you and farmer p on here And enjoy your content immensely ❤ Keep us updated on your plans on the 19th. Or could you do a “live” broadcast on the “march” on the day? I wish you well for the 19th ❤ And hopefully bump in to you and farmer P 😜

[@duffield55aj]

I’m from a farming family. In fact my father was on that Normandy beach 80 years ago, fighting for our way of life. He came home and started a small farm and family. Unfortunately future generations have to take some responsibility for the state of farming. We complain and disagree with government but only between family and friends and maybe who we see in the market. I hear all time that the NFU does nothing for farming but always pay out claims. Well farmers and the NFU have to stand up and be counted because farmers are now going to finance building houses for half of the world that wants to come here. Also the land will be almost gifted. You personally need to take an interest in politics because you run a business. It’s no good you future voting same old same old. It does not work. Think about it. You and the British people have got to stop saying, “there is nothing we can do about it”and start thinking about what you can do.

[@user-kr6tl9kr1v]

[@paulgriffiths1600]

The only problem with meeting with an MP is, they are not the decision makers, at best and if you are lucky, they might pass on the message but they invariably just tow the party line regardless and are a fish out of water in most industries. They may listen, but will not hear or understand what you have to say. MPs vote according to how they are told to vote, only those with a backbone will stand up for their constituents and vote accordingly but tbh, most MPs are fairly spineless and look after the interests of their own careers rather than those they are in place to represent. I wish you all the very best and do hope Government will rethink this most ridiculous tax on the UK farming community.

Hey it wouldn’t surprise me if Starmer starts to lock people up for talking about demonstrations and marches on KZbin Richard😂 Can you imagine the headlines Funky Farmer locked up for discussing the march in London! That’s just it the NFU are for all not only farmers, I have car insurance and house insurance with them and they are excellent, possibly not the cheapest but they have offices you can go to and discuss matters or phone them and you are through to someone in this country. Good luck to all on the march, the country is behind you all💪👊 🚜 🇬🇧

REMEMBER - The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has/had 48,208,507 registered voters. The Labour Party collected 9,708,716 of the available votes. So - 79.86% of registered voters - citizens able to vote - DID NOT vote for the Labour Party. 4 out of 5 eligible voters DID NOT vote for the Labour Party.
