[kader63]

So the poor farmer's are complaining about inheritance tax, poor things
Labour should say to them okay let's stop you using red diesel which is much cheaper than normal diesel,I bet there would shut up then.

Or say, look a lot of your woes are due to Brexit - which group were amongst the biggest and most vocal advocates?

Or say
Vote conservative and let them crack on with the free trade deal with America - which will destroy their livestock business overnight

Yes let's increase the cost of food by increasing the cost of production, that'll show the b***ds.

Collectivise the farms. Arrest the Kulaks.

Harsh but fair.

 

[HolgateCorner]

Farmers are just the Tory Party in tractors aren’t they?

They need to be careful with Starmer in charge.

Or increase the cost of production by paying a fair price for the work they do, retailers take less margin and the consumer pays a little more

They are only subject to IHT if they have millions. So let's give them some more?

They are landowners, they don’t believe in tax, that is for the little people and town dwellers.

What a bile laden thread even by fmttm standards.

 

[Ironops]

Funny how farmers only ever protest when there is a Labour govt.

No not all.

Sweeping generalisation alert.

 

[JHS1]

What an awful thread. The snobby socialists on this board

 

[Archiestephens_elbow]

They should just use their EU subsidies

I’m from a family of agricultural workers. My father, his siblings and my grandparents all worked on the land. They are not land owners. They are the workers. It’s a bloody tough life for both parties, it’s f u c k in g hard work and trust me for the land owners there is little money to be made.

if your name is Clarkson or Dyson there is. There are other millionaires who have invested in agricultural land for the sole purpose of avoiding inheritance tax.

That's the real issue, they are trying to close a loop hole to stop people buying up land and farms to avoid paying tax

It may be that the threshold needs adjusting.
