Billionaire landowner and hobby farmer Mick Darkson - feeling the pinch |
A scheduled Midway farmers' protest appears to have received the go-ahead after a meeting between local landowner Michael Darkson and evil Labo*r Environment Secretary Steve Reed failed to result in a resolution.
Darkson, who is representing
growing numbers of disgruntled rich Midway absentee landowners, accused
Chancellor R*chel Re*ves of introducing an “unfair” inheritance tax levy after
leaving
Re*ves announced a 20 per cent levy on farms worth more than £1million in last week’s tax-raising Budget. However, the Chancellor had suggested the threshold could be placed at closer to £3million in some cases.

Darkson explained: "I was

Responding to Re*ves's comments on putting the money back into the NHS and public services, Darkson fumed that what Re*ves claims to have done to benefit the economy will actually do the opposite".
Darkson told GB News: "Expecting rich people to actually pay a proportionate share of tax is totally unfair to rich people. We rich people don’t use the NHS or public services, so why should we subsidise them?”

Speaking after he emerged from a meeting with wicked communist Labo*r stooges Reed and Treasury Minister James Murray, Darkson said: “Obviously, we fully dispute the figures the Treasury has been using because they don’t suit our agenda and so we’ve played back our own figures.
“The Treasury is saying only 27 per cent of farms will be within scope of these changes, whereas all farms owned by billionaires like me will be in scope”.

“There’s certainly no resolution today, we’ve made very passionately our perception clear: that this tax change is completely unfair to multi-millionaire land barons like us”.

One Midway business is delighted with the budget however.
MicroStrad, a specialist company that makes really small violins, says that business is booming.
"Our product is the perfect accompaniment to all of the sob stories rich UK land barons have been coming out with since the IHT changes for agricultural land have been announced," said a MicroStrad spokesman. "Our really tiny violins are just flying off the shelves..."
