Actually, if you research it, you will find that farmers voted only marginally above national average with regards to brexit. The big farmers had all these posters, and it was impressive beause they have a lot of land, but each one only had one vote, all the same...Then considereing that farmers are only a ver small percentage of the population, it was not enough to get Brexit over the line, even with the fishermen's vote as these are a tiny fraction.

[@iamjoestafford]

The irony is that these blokes say the farmland will be end up being bought by multinationals and billionaires if they sell it - that's exactly what the inheritance tax break has led to, as the return on investment for such land has gone through the roof over the past twenty years. Taxing it properly will stop it being so attractive to vulture capitalists, and could actually be the saviour of small scale farming in the UK in the long term - I'm so glad Labour are being brave about this and I hope they stick to their guns.

Everyone else has to pay their taxes? And the steel, mining and car industries were shut because the tories said they should have to compete? To provide a better service to the consumer? Why should the farming industry be any different to the rest they have been protected for years and laughed as other industries closed unable to compete against foreign imports and and subsidies from other governments? All farmers plead poverty🤷‍♂️ I never knew a poor one comparable to other people yet?

[@timbonfield3589]

That Brexiteer Farmer is no 1 on the list of why the public cant get on board with there protest, just a bitter old Tory

[@crayontom9687]

This is why I can’t take the farmers seriously. This guy would do anything not to criticise his beloved Conservatives or admit that Brexit was an unmitigated disaster. Weak people

[@domhuckle]

Can we all just take a quiet smug moment as these idiots finally realise that the brexit they voted for has shafted them in exactly the way they were told it would?

[@Barbara-l2x]

Brexit has been devastation for farmers : Loss of EU subsidies: 90% of their annual income for some farms Increased input costs Reduced workforce: shortage of EU workers Higher supply chain costs: Desperate Trade deals with cheaper Australia and New Zealand

[@TheDavidsega]

When will they say we got it wrong with Brexit and apologise to the rest of us?

[@georgebrown6994]

Nobody has a crystal ball, the EU is hardly thriving, if every farmer voted remain we would still have had brexit anyway so how exactly is brexit pinned on farmers?

[@naguere1]

If all farmers are as efficient as Clarkson farm ,no wonder we have to import quality food from Australia and New Zealand.

[@patrickallen6017]

My family are all farmers in the Republic of Ireland and very happy. And the British farmers are very unhappy. Are British farmers who voted for brexit just thick. British farmers just look over the sea to the Republic of Ireland, and see how happy they are, and you will realise how much brexit conned you.

[@ancaoraathasach]

Jesus, they're really determined to make pratts of themselves, aren't they.

[@xrayfish2020]

A classic case of being high on your own supply!

[@mitchellscott4996]

Wish I could afford to take this much time to protest when the government does something I don’t like. Farmers need to stop pleading poverty when they are asset rich (which by definition go up in value) when everyday people are asset poor and cash poor!

[@1992Craigster]

As property, the lands worth a lot for interitance tax dodgers (see also j clarksons previous comments) for for farmer as farming its worth sweet fa. Valued as farm land none of these farmers will pay the tax. Thier issue is with the supermarkets and brokers not paying a fair price.

[@leeskinka]

If you can’t pay your tax, get a better job.

[@rodneygunn788]

I’ve never seen a farmer on a bike (song)

[@ninjadudeofficial]

I see Nige has his costume on again

[@cros420]

I blame Top Gear !

[@jasperedwards2713]

brexit made many buisinesses move abroad to avoid taxes now goverment needs to find more revenue free movement of travel was offered but uk declined they lost out on european very good workers picking veggies

[@paulhoughland8505]

I have sympathy for farmers who didn't vote for Brexit. The rest can do one!

[@TheLucanicLord]

They're blocking a namberlanz! 1:50 If he'd be paying £2M that means the farm is worth £13M. We're supposed to feel sorry for him? 2:12 Now now now, I know what you're thinking. Just because he sounds thick doesn't mean he is thick. Odd how the steel & car industries weren't a concern before, though. 2:58 Fun fact - before the industrial revolution loads of people worked from home. Now it's a computer instead of a loom or a spinning wheel. Of course some jobs can't be done from home, then as now. Perhaps he should have worked harder and got some GCSEs.

[@cbolt4492]

2:30 You've left it a bit late lovely boy, you should have thought about this 40 years ago

[@martinhaines2884]

I've read many comments here. And I have some thoughts. Farms are very very important to a country, as you know they produce the food you all eat. It's worth noting that is food security. Farmers haven't driven up the price of land and some wealthy people and cooperates have. And if these farms are sliced up to pay for this new tax that's who will buy the land. Do you really think they will pay tax ? Farmers work long and hard for little money. Australia and New Zealand had a tax like this they got rid of it.

[@johnfletcher9907]

Oh millionaires moaning that are being taxed at 20% when they inherit their wealth😂😂 my heart bleeds

[@visitforthemusic]

Amusing how a large source of right wing EU talking points originate from viral videos of debates featuring members of its Parliament. The same people who tell us it is undemocratic 🤔

[@benamer9857]

We’ve got the public on our side? Really, not from where I’m looking, everyone says sell your £5m in assets live a nice life and shut your cake hole.

[@Stuboy]

Pay the same rate as everyone else , why special measures??

[@msJjbluematrix]

shows how much I know. I thought black rock was only our problem. This is why I started watching news from around the world. My country doesn't report on this stuff

[@pancho1993]

I hope they do go under, they brought this upon themselves.

[@darrenwilson8042]

are they farmers? Sound like professional conspiracy theorists to me - let them go bust and improve importing conditions and routes from the EU

[@samkayak8712]

Where were the fatmers when we were voting about Brexit? Your golden goose did not come home to roost did it? 🙃

[@jamesmorton7852]

We can't rejoin anymore than we can redo Brexit. Its over we're out. The only option is to apply for membership as a new member of the block. We will never get the deal we had and that is the frustrating part of this. The UK had a sweet deal that saw it as the least constrained member of the bloc with a 70% rebate on the membership fees. We will not be getting that, infact apart from us no other member state was ever able to get that deal. The next issue is the EU itself. They aren't going to be interested in talking to us about a membership application for a long time. They would have to be sure it was the settled will of the UK electorate and they weren't going to have to put up with our phsycodrama every 5 years threatening to leave. Considering other events, we are at the very bottom of their list of concerns right now.

[@Automat2]

Nobody wants to pay. And farmers, as the professional complainers they are, don't like it either. Awe, well.

[@dagatha3982]

Where are those jobs where you can earn yourself 3 or 4 million pounds by the time you are 30 years old? And who are the people who go for a career in farming, knowing they will always be just above the poverty line but they will still do it for the good of the country, because they just want to feed the Britain.

[@rogueceska]

The only people on farmers sides are the farmers and millionaires who want to dodge the tax which is fantastic to see, oh and the right wing press, and if Farage turns up to a protest something must be right. And how out of touch are they turning up in tractors that cost more than most normal peoples houses.

[@michaelwilliams3232]

How stupid do they really think people are? And this nonsense about food, who do they think buys their produce?

[@georgebrown6994]

Food comes from tesco?

[@californiadreamin8423]

Come on “Politics Joe”, do some investigative journalism . I want to know who the first interviewee is. He is too smooth to be a “farmer”. He strikes me as a plant.

[@philip013]

[@urbanimage]

It seems these farmers are about as well-informed about this tax change as they were about the 'benefits' of Brexit.
