It’s been a few of days since we last ran a Labo*r-bashing article on the
planned changes to inheritance tax, an issue that affects very few people. But
those people are rich and include a lot of people (like our owner) who have
bought up lots of the

| Farmers: demanding tax breaks... |
A go-slow tractor protest rumbled through Midway as farmers vented their anger over Labo*r’s inheritance tax changes.
Pictures show the vehicles in Stroochester today (Wednesday), with one eyewitness saying about 100 came through the Stroochester roundabout from the M234 towards the town centre. The protest attracted no local attention whatsoever, however.
“We’re used to farmers driving their tractors down our main roads during rush hour, covering the roads and passers-by in mud and filth and generally causing as much aggravation as they can, because they think it’s a laugh to inconvenience “townies” like us,” said one local resident.

“We at the Really Extreme Far Out Right-Wing Maniacs UK Party®™© PLC think it is vitally import to stir up hatred and division about anything that the government does,” said the gargoyle. “If we and our chums in the right-wing media can keeping on sniping at Labo*r, then the Really Extreme Far Out Right-Wing Maniacs UK Party®™© will sweep to power in 2029.”
“And we know we can rely on the farmers to help out on this front just like they did for Brexit, even though they will be shooting themselves in the foot again.”
The protest had been arranged jointly by the Farmers Against Raising Tax (FART) and the Billionaire Owners of Land Lying in the Old Countryside of Kent Society (BOLLOCKS).

They are demanding that the government axes its plans to impose a 20% inheritance tax (IHT) on farm assets worth £1 million or more from April 2026.
Both campaign groups say they are also furious about the government’s abject failure to “leave us alone like the Tories did and allow us to use farm land to squirrel away our billions”.

He told the website: “The Labo*r government shouldn’t be going after hardworking land speculators like me. Only poor people should be paying tax, not rich people like me.”

The changes to inheritance tax rules announced in the Autumn Budget sent shock waves through Midway’s farming community.
Families who spent generations building up their farm businesses, often on very tight profit margins, fear the “destruction” of their way of life after reading the scare stories put out in the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail.

The owner of Stoatweed Farm at Buxley near Chattingham, said: “I would love my family to continue the business that my father started - and for the next generation and their children.”
“But the reality according to the right-wing press is that my family could be left with a huge tax bill which would mean having to sell off lots of land - and then it would make it unviable.”
“OK, I’ve not spoken to my
accountant yet, but Niglet the Gargoyle and his chums in the
“After all, they said I should be in favour of Brexit eight years ago because of all of the opportunities it would bring and that’s worked out pretty well, hasn’t it?” .

in the real world over at click-bait corner, the right-wing nut-jobs in the “comments” section really are
getting more and more demented. Still, “clicks” are “clicks”…

Typical policing by Two-Tier Ke*r's Gestapo. If this had been Just Stop Oil driving their tractors through police barriers, they would have been arrested and imprisoned. Instead they were allowed to cause havoc and mayhem in Stroochester town centre. These terrorists should be.... er.... hold on... they are protesting about Labo*r. So that's all right then. Nothing to see here, just move along.

I back British farming. I back British farmers to pay their tax as well.
Have the farmers yet realised that calls to scrap the tax aren't that popular?
Have they not realised that seeking some changes in the
threshold might be the way to go?
Don’t ask us to feel sorry for the likes of Dyson, Lowe,
Clarkson and Lloyd-Webber. Or the sob story in The Times about an 88 year old “farmer”,
who is actually a former Chair of the London Stock Exchange and on the board of

A typical far-left trope of abuse by a cretinous leftie driven by class envy
and hatred of anyone better off than himself. Why shouldn’t a wealthy
stockbroker buy up farmland in order to try and shelter his wealth from this
corrupt Labo*r administration, which is using tax-payer’s money to fund a tidal
wave of illegal immigration aimed at wiping out English culture and establishing
a communist hegemony?
Yu Rong replied:
It's not just farmers that are
impacted by the IHT changes. According to the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail,

This will destroy our economy and mean that everyone will be cast into poverty.

Well, that's got me convinced.

Then if you don't like my choice, do your own research (as if).
And as I've said before, you and checking facts, before you go mashing a
keyboard, are complete strangers.

Oh come on. GB News?! Really?
“Fact-checking” is not a process of regurgitating lies, assertions and
selective reporting from right-wing sources that are renowned for their poor
quality and outrageous bias.
Please try again, citing a source that isn’t regularly
pulled up by Ofcom for biased and inaccurate reporting.
Yu Rong replied:
Why shouldn’t I quote sources that reinforce my own prejudices and amplify what
I think I already know? Your “holier than thou” attitude on insisting on actual
facts is just so much sealioning, or some such other trendy internet insult.

What is ironic about these claimed rich farmers, it's not them who will be the
payers of inheritance tax, but those who inherit the farms.
Tornado Watcher replied:
What's ironic about an inheritor
paying inheritance tax? What part of “inheritance tax” don’t you understand?
Neil Barse replied:
There's nothing ironic about an
inheritor paying inheritance tax, (TW stating the bleeding obvious, as usual).
It's all about the present day rich tax avoidance land owners that everyone is
going on about who when they pass away, will not have or have to pay any
inheritance tax themselves. Whoever inherits the farm where inheritance tax is
payable will have to decide if they can afford to pay the tax or sell the farm
as a whole or part off. Time will tell.
Tornado Watcher replied:
So your point is that you feel
sorry for the children of rich tax avoiders?
Yu Rong replied:
So are you saying Reeves should tax
savings in an ISA, TW?
Tornado Watcher replied:
ISAs? Eh? We’re talking about IHT.
Or is this just another bit of distraction whataboutery you rightists use when
the arguments go against you?
Neil Barse replied:
I feel sorry for low intellect
individuals such as yourself TW.
Away with you now and find some nimby's to Sealion. You know it makes sense.
Tornado Watcher replied:
Sealion? NIMBYs? What on earth are you on about? I question your views on IHT
and in return I get a stream of abuse and gibberish?
Yu Rong replied:
Are you saying Ms Reeves isn’t concentrating on her job because she is
enamoured of aquatic life, TW?
Tornado Watcher replied:
I thought you and Neal Barse weren’t speaking. You seem to be back in tandem on

Yu Rong replied:
So, back to the question asked, are you suggesting that Reeves should tax
savings in an ISA? ISAs are just another form of tax avoidance according to
you.
Tornado Watcher replied:
I never mentioned ISAs. You did. We are on a thread about IHT and you continue
to raise ISAs as a distraction issue.
Grey Mondeo Man replied:
We are encouraged by the government to save thousands of pounds via an ISA.
We are not encouraged by the government to buy up vast tracts of agricultural
land at inflated prices to avoid million of pounds in IHT.

The government are not saying that are they Grey Mondeo Man? That's you
spreading misinformation again. Just because you can't do it, the Far Leftist
green monster of wanting to be rich envy within you shines bright.
As for your claim about Sealioning, I asked you twice to answer a question put
to you about issues completely unrelated to the topic under discussion and on both
occasions at the time you refused to answer, but accused myself of Sealioning
you in an attempt to squirm out of answering. No different to any questions
asked of you by any on here, you refuse to answer any in the fear of exposing
yourself as the fraudulent individual you are.
What's even more comical is telling others that you no longer converse with
those who also expose you for spreading misinformation, manipulation of facts
and blatant lies. You act like a petulant schoolgirl in that respect. As a
matter of interest, why do you never contradict Tornado Watcher or point out
their content Sealioning, or is it a fact you are one and the same.
Grey Mondeo Man replied:
Like most people, I have no idea
what you are on about. You and your former friend Yu Rong reduce any attempt at
rational discussion down to insult-laden distraction issues and whataboutery.
No wonder the
Neil Barse replied:
Once again, you fail to understand that this forum is not about rationale
debate, it is about WINNING. And our combination of insults, random distraction
issues, whataboutery and gaslighting drive any rational observers away, meaning
that WE WIN all of the time. You can never win because you are a sad lazy
parasitic leftist idiot and are unable to hold any sort of discussion without
resorting to vile, frothing insults. Crawl away and die, you tofu-eating,
Guardian-reading pillock.

Yes, I notice that we are not
getting as many up-votes for our brilliance as usual. It must be because the lefties are refreshing their Internet browsers and bashing their keyboards to down-vote any
comments they don't like.
