This is a spiteful attack on ‘the little guy’ - spiteful and stupid in the failure to realise that being asset rich does not give you a millionaire lifestyle; sell productive fields to pay the tax - and severely dented, or down the pan, goes the means of your livelihood. OK, some very wealthy people - not ‘real’ farmers - are using the exemption as an IHT loophole, but out the baby goes with the bathwater if the new legislation is used as a blunt instrument to cosh truly real farmers.
Political prisoners? Surely you mean the ones who incited to riot, rioted, attacked the police, destroyed private property and attempted to murder people?
@@roryhungrrr Wokeness is embracing irrational and unintelligent idealism over what would be considered pragmatic. Wokeness includes in believing false realities like transcending your own biological qualities and transforming into something else, that all cultures religions and worldviews can be considered equally valid and equally as moral, that all people are inherently equal.
This has really got to most of us. It's repression of the little person by the condescending elite, Animal Farm writ large. 'Work harder, Boxer.' I have never been so angry. These farmers have created our land. Why can't politicians see that 'farmers doing their bit to help the NHS' will be temporary, fleeting. The land, however, is forever, and it will be fragmented under this vindicitve, downright stupid budget. I talked to a farmer the other day, and she was near tears. She said, 'There will be plenty of this.' Then she drew her finger across her throat. In the west country town where I live, the talk is all of this, and depression hangs over every corner and every shop and every field.
The Guardian wrote an article titled 'Farmers have been hoarding land for too long. Inheritance tax will bring new life to rural Britain' The government is coming for the Kulaks.
God bless these poor farmers fighting for their livelihood from entitled people who gets rediculiously large salaries and are so out of touch with reality. I say down with the labour elitests
Really? so what will you say about the Tories, NF......they work for the wealthy. Tories even put a Russian oligarch in the House of Lords, Look at Farage, he's running and kissing Trump's hand instead of looking after his constituency.

I attended the Farming protest today in solidarity with all the farming industry. The atmosphere was calm, quiet and very determined. To see the huge crowd of what are normally independent and dispersed interests coming together was a clear signal that the countryside is collecting its forces…

Remember when Blair pledged to purge Britain of the “forces of conservatism”? This is the final chapter of that agenda, the working class and rural communities have been despised in certain quarters for quite a long time now… They’ve been telling us the countryside is racist for some time now and met with little push back.
Both equally. Both represent bastions of British tradition that must be erased for the sake of diversity. Remember Blair pledged to purge Britain of the forces of conservatism - well, in my opinion, this is looking like the final push. The Blairite Tories did a pretty good job of the cities but the pesky countryside is still far too “hideously white” for many.
@@Andrew-tx9jy inheritance tax does not work in the way it is intended. those with a lot of cash will avoid it anyway by managing their finances. some other comments have already pointed out that it will be corporations that buy the farmland, then rent them out like medieval landlords. and the corporations will pay have a lesser taxation burden.
We need the small/medium genuine working family farms to stay afloat and grow what we need. Surely the Govt can adjust the tax level to properly target the corporate and rich land owners (tax dodgers) to pay 40% like everyone else. This isn't rocket science.
I agree with the first bloke that spoke. Surely they can distinguish between the Clarkson and Dyson types and everybody else. I don't know why his wife was so keen to shut him up.

Why is the reporter described as 'intrepid' for merely going out into the streets of London? That aside, the fact is that there is no future for anyone whose families have lived on these islands for the last few hundred years. Labour and the entire establishment/blob hates us.
And no wonder considering the inundating flood of EU regulations that made no sense in a British farming context, the bureaucratic self-enriching circus of bureaucracy that meant farmers’ wares were always competing against cheaper goods shipped in from abroad and sold at rates that they could not match, while being forced to pay for and douse their lands with chemicals Brussels nitwits with no understanding of the nature of, well, nature (but with an interest in the stock price of said chemicals) had decided should be used. I bet you don’t have an inkling of the realities of rural life.
@@Zenocrate Exactly. They don't understand. I'm not a Brit, but I understand that whatever works in Brussels or southern Europe might not be the right way to do things here. My country is the northernmost country in Europe. Regulation from Brussels in relation to agriculture is very unfair. We have the shortest growing period yet we have to play by the same rules that the Poles or Germans who live in a much warmer climate. Also an incredible amount of energy goes to just heating up during the winter, so we don't freeze to death. Should we be punished for excess CO2? According to EU, yes. Here it's commonplace for almost every house to have a fireplace to warm up the house, but there's probably regulation coming down from Brussels soon that says you can't do this anymore. And to be honest that's the most insane thing that has actually been discussed by the green radicals.
When I lived in Leeds, Rachel Reeves was my MP. I never met or spoke to her, but I had no idea that she was so callous and cruel: first, she punishes the pensioners and now family farms. Socialism is red in tooth and claw. These acts of callous cruelty will not be forgotten or forgiven.
Notice how respectful all of them are. Compare them to the Palestine protests where they assault police officers, and threaten Jews. Yet the government has done everything they can to prevent this protest from going ahead. What does that tell you?
"They thought this would be a targeted raid on the super rich, but what's it turned into is a peasants revolt against King Keir." Many people don't know that what really kicked off the French Revolution was the King trying to pass new taxes on the UPPER classes, and the peasantry seeing that as an overreach by the monarchy against the traditional rights of that class.
It’s weird. I dont know what their argument is. They do give us the food. They pay minimum wage. They should focus perhaps on what the countryside would look like if owned by big corporations.
Yet the largest landowners' families are protected by tax-avoidance trust arrangements due to their ability to pay for expensive tax and trust advisors, unlike most farmers....
Farmers forgot that the budget delivered £5bn for farming over the next two years, a record amount while the last government failed to spend £300 million on farmers
So who will be buying these farms when current owners have to sell to pay tax? Black Rock perhaps? Or maybe some of Starmer's other chums. Apparently Bill Gates did pay Starmer a visit to No 10 before the budget. America's biggest land owner, what could he and Starmer have to discuss?
This is the poll tax for Labour, never have I seen a government declare war on the people as quickly as this lot. Good luck to our farmers and remember at the future local elections vote for anybody but not Labour. Send them into the wastelands of politics.
Example: The government sees that a taxi driver earns a living and drives a newish car worth over ten grand so they say we want 20% of what your taxi is worth. Cabbie hasn't got much spare cash in the bank so sells his taxi to pay the government its 20% tax levy. Taxi driver is now out of business because he can't pick up fares. The death part isn't really relevant because for farmers, the farm just carries on with the family.
Labour help their client groups and no-one else. So public sector workers get bumper pay rises and the elderly, businesses, and the farming community, have to pay for it. Meanwhile, public sector productivity continues to decline.
News Alert - HMRC grants farmers £800 000 in IHT relief on a £3 000 000 pound estate and if your farm is worth £10 000 000 you get £2 000 000 in IHT relief. As a normal tax payer that sounds pretty sweet to me, oh wait you want to pay no tax are you serious!
All working family farms, apart from smallholdings up to 75 acres, will be affected by the million pound level because any farm of 75+ acres will be worth more and so will have to pay the IHT on death. Most small family farmers will not have that cash in the bank - it is land they own, not money.
It's as plain as day that this is about punishing and extorting farmers who aren't traditional Labour voters. Labour think that it's a win-win situation - basically by doing this they're not losing any of their loyalists. However either they fail to consider cause and effect, or they don't care and it's actually part of the plan. A lot of these farmers will lose the farms that they've managed for decades or longer and they'll be bought up by the huge corporations who already own virtually everything. Once the corporations own everything, monopolisation will take its toll and prices will go up as food quality goes down. They'll destroy British agriculture forever and we'll all suffer. But the MPs won't care because they all live in London and think that non-London types simply don't matter.
trouble is... Gove. How am I supposed to take anything seriously he says about class or 'peasant's revolt' when he oversaw the fastest transfer of wealth from the middle and working classes to his pals? He was there. He had a voice and a vote... easy to say the right thing when you have no skin in the game.
I don’t understand why farmers’ land assets should be taxed less than people who have parents that own businesses that includes expensive assets. Both scenarios can lead to a family business not being owned or kept within the family. Why is farming considered different?
Farming needs a shakeup. but, lets be honest this is about punishing a faction of the Tory voter base. Farmers didn't support miners now its your turn. the politics of envy.
Wealthy land owners should pay their fair share of Tax, it should be 40% like everyone else! Working in a rural community I know that the richest people in the countryside are the farm owners and that’s not through hard work, but through being born to a wealthy farm owning family. So what if wealthy land owners cannot pass on all their wealth to their children, so that they don’t need to work (most wealthy farmers hire workers to do the work for them). inheritance tax on farms, reduces their value and gives real working farmers the chance to buy the land, which will drop in value as a result.
That Victoria Derbyshire interview with Clarkson, what a Nasty piece of work that woman is , Seen her do some Stuff like that Before, BBC what a Bunch ,
I can’t get enough of this, it’s absolutely hysterical. I’m loving every second. Maybe now you can see how it feels to be on the receiving end of a whole swathe of the populations’ voting choices.

You would think that the core things any Gov needs to do are to ensure that the country has secure food, water and pharmaceuticals for medical care. These are all essential, more than anything else. Take any of them away and people will start dying and make COVID seem like a summer camp. It doesn't take a genious to see the wars and other things recently that could interupt the ability to supply enough food for the UK. Add to that the fact we have twice as many people as the landmass can support and you can see how precarious the situation is. Removing many farms is going to make that situation far worse. Idiocy that is almost unparallelled.
The Damage they can do in Five years at this rate is incredible ,

The fact the Treasury is unable to collate accurate data just proves how far the British state has degraded
The requirements are perfectly reasonable, no inheritance tax on the first 1,000,000 pounds and then 20% after that.
All working family farms, apart from smallholdings up to 75 acres, will be affected by the million pound level because any farm of 75+ acres will be worth more and so will have to pay the IHT on death. Most small family farmers will not have that cash in the bank - it is land they own, not money.
I didn´t say they wouldn´t be affected at all, just that the requirements are perfectly reasonable.

This is for farms valued over £3m correct? Im genuinely asking.
Wealthy land owners should pay their fair share of Tax, it should be 40% like everyone else!
Working in a rural community I know that the richest people in the countryside are the farm owners and that’s not through hard work, but through being born to a wealthy farm owning family. So what if wealthy land owners cannot pass on all their wealth to their children, so that they don’t need to work (most wealthy farmers hire workers to do the work for them). inheritance tax on farms, reduces their value and gives real working farmers the chance to buy the land, which will drop in value as a result.
Is there any reason why a farm cannot be sold to your child(ren) for say £1? Or, you enter into a wager (then 'lose') and it becomes a debt of honour?
Perhaps we can import all our food from China?

"Labour will do to the farmers what Thatcher did to the miners", wait so you guys think Maggie was bad?
Literally one of the most universally hated polititians.
I’m confused.. how do taxes make farm land disappear?
If you inherit a farm and you don't have cash in the bank you will need to sell off a chunk of land to get money to pay the tax.
@@judithmorganjudyteenRun your business better? Like every one else has to do.
@@judithmorganjudyteen but the farm land will still be there, just someone else will own it. It doesn’t make the land disappear.
That Victoria Derbyshire interview with Clarkson, what a Nasty piece of work that woman is , Seen her do some Stuff like that Before, BBC what a Bunch ,
I think she did a good job and showed Clarkson to be the hypocrite he actually is.
Ran rings around him. Some spokesperson he turned out to be.
I can’t get enough of this, it’s absolutely hysterical. I’m loving every second.
Maybe now you can see how it feels to be on the receiving end of a whole swathe of the populations’ voting choices.
Let’s call this getting even for the removal of EMA, hiked tuition fees, being kicked off the property ladder, uncontrollable rent, mental health crises, young peoples services taken away but to name a few.
they are scare to say publicly because they are can be arrested for the words something like that you can see only in Russia
You would think that the core things any Gov needs to do are to ensure that the country has secure food, water and pharmaceuticals for medical care. These are all essential, more than anything else. Take any of them away and people will start dying and make COVID seem like a summer camp. It doesn't take a genious to see the wars and other things recently that could interupt the ability to supply enough food for the UK. Add to that the fact we have twice as many people as the landmass can support and you can see how precarious the situation is. Removing many farms is going to make that situation far worse. Idiocy that is almost unparallelled.
