100 Tractors In Go-Slow Protest Through Stroochester As Farmers Fume Over Inheritance Tax Changes Again

A load of rich landowners are still whining about the remote possibility that they may have to pay inheritance tax on the value of their land as a result of the Labo*r government’s IHT changes, even though there are lots of loopholes that means their clever accountants will find a way not to. And yet again they are holding another protest, so we’re using it as yet another excuse to running a Labo*r-bashing article.

They’re doing the same old things and coming out with the same old sound-bites and hard luck stories, so we’re just going to recycle all the dog-whistle click-bait stuff we wrote last time in the hope that we get the usual Pavlovian responses from our regular right-wing trolls…

More whiny millionaires upset by the thought of paying more tax...

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 onto the A234 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 inconvenience as they can because they think it’s a laugh to inconvenience ‘townies’ like us,” said one local resident.

Midway Police blocked off the town centre but this proved no barrier to the protesters, who drove their farm vehicles straight through the cordon, narrowly missing two police officers.

Superintendent Grabber
“If that had been Just Stop Oil or some other bunch of woke lefties, we’d have been all over them,” said Midway Police superintendent Mike Grabber, “but most of this lot belong to the same Masonic lodge as our Chief Constable, so we’ve been told to back off.”

“Tazering a few lefty hippies, dragging them off and throwing them in the back of a wagon is just fine, but if we do that to rich landowners we just know the national press will be on our case moaning about “two-tier policing”. So we let the posh farmer types do what they want, it’s not worth the aggro…”

The protest had been arranged jointly by the Farmers Against Raising Tax (FART) and the Billionaire Owners of Land Lying in the Old County of Kent Society (BOLLOCKS).

Mick Darkson: Billionaire hobby farmer...
One of the organisers is Mick Darkson, a billionaire UK tax exile resident in Monaco, who told the MORON: “It’s time for the UK’s billionaire land owners to stand up and fight back. It’s time to show the government that things will escalate more if they try and get us to pay a fair rate of inheritance tax on all of the farmland we’ve bought up.”

“The FART will kick up stink a about this until the government show they are prepared to talk to the 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”.

Tarquin Gaylord: Rich...
Tarquin Gaylord, who buys up farms and then runs them down to sell off as development land, is also taking part.

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.”

Earlier this month, dozens of Kent farmers joined a protest rally in Westminster to demonstrate against the government’s new inheritance tax grab on their land.

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.

Thomas Grobag: Evicted...
Thomas Grobag, 84, whose farm was created by his father almost 100 years ago, told the MORON that the Daily Telegraph said he would face a tax bill of almost £2 million if the new levy is brought in.

The owner of Grobag Farm and Luxury Camping 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 my family getting evicted and having to live in tents while millions of illegal immigrants get to be put up in luxury hotels.”

“My accountant keeps telling me I have nothing to worry about, but Niglet the Gargoyle and his chums in the UK media have said I should be angry, so I am.”

“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?”

...and over in the real world at click-bait corner it's same ol', same ol'.  Even a mention of the word "farmer" is just a dog-whistle for trolls these days...

Farmers have been told by fake farmers like Jeremy Clarkson and James Dyson (who buy up farm land to avoid taxes) and the Daily Heil that they should be angry. So they are angry. The same people who by majority voted for Brexit even though they were one of the groups most harmed by the vote. No sympathy. It’s just a load of whining by the self-entitled rich. For too long, Tories have framed “tax” as a burden rather than a civic duty to help those less fortunate than (this comment has been edited as it not in line with our community standards – Ed.)

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 the wealthy buy up farmland in order to try and shelter their 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?

“Fact-checking” is not a process of regurgitating lies, unsupported 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:
Ooooh get you and your tantrums. 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.

Kent’s Greatest Prick Ever replied:
Why should rich landowners have to justify their finances to unwashed socialist class warriors such as yourself? If we say something is true, then it is. The word of rich people such as myself has long been the law of this land. We do not need to provide “evidence” to arrogant upstarts like you. Allowing the plebeian classes to question the feelings and assertions of their betters is the path to anarchy and madness, a path that St*rmer and his communist storm-troopers seem to be sending us down.

Grey Mondeo Man replied:
I just want to see some real examples from real farms and real people about what the IHT changes will really mean. Many suspect that this is just nonsense and trouble for the government being stirred up by a bunch of Tory-loving landowners and their chums in the Tory press. Persuade me I'm wrong. With facts.

At the end of the day, this Labo*r government is making our lives worse right now - more expensive, and the morale of most of the country is very low with little to look forward to. We need some good news for the majority of people, not just public sector workers, illegal immigrants and benefit claimants. Under the Tories, Boris used to tell us that everything was great, we all had more money in our pockets and the country was growing economically. That’s a much nicer story than the gloom and doom of the socialist miserablists now in charge - unless you prefer the lefty semantics calculator!!

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.

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 MORON comments section is regarded as a joke.

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.

Labo*r have been in for nearly six months now and everything is still shite just like it was under the last government of Blair and Brown. In that time, millions of illegal immigrants have crossed the channel in small boats and are being kept in luxury hotels while millions of pensioners freeze to death and homeless farmers are sleeping on the streets after being kicked off their land because they can’t afford to pay their inheritance tax. My local Tory councillor told me that Starmer is now planning to give all illegal immigrants British passports and free new houses if they sign an agreement to vote Labo*r at the next general election. Vote REFORM UK PARTY PLC.
