Should we be doing more to help farmers ?

[jall55]

Just watching the news and it seems there is another rally today in London objecting to the inheritance tax laws
I am the first to admit i am limited on social media - so may sometimes not be the first to hear of things - but should we not be seeing posts from our representatives and calls to support from our various organisations such as BASC ,NGO , GWCT et al ?

You would think so, wouldn't you?
People who shoot need farmers far more than farmers need people who shoot.
No permission letter = no FAC.

Yes it strange we get calls to actions to fill in a form on the internet while the real world just seems to pass us by

In what form should our support be given?

I'm a farmer. BACS payments accepted

Offer to shoot their deer for free

Should details of scheduled marches not be posted on socials ?
Should many of us not attend these ?

Not just farmers though they are at the rawest end of the deal. Inheritance tax is just plain theft. We should all be rioting about it.

Marching achieves diddly-squat.

All taxation is theft. VAT is the biggest scam going.

To be fair, marches, protests etc are all part and parcel and achieve little or nothing. The only way to impact is through politics. Unfortunately, that requires finding politicians with morals and ethics. Now, whether voting in Reform would address the lack thereof, I'm unsure, but it's the only viable step in removing the shower of trough feeders we have in the existing two (one) party system.
Besides that, I truly wish there was something I could do that would help derail the Starmer masterplan of shifting land ownership to BlackRock.

This not only effects farmers.
Family owned plant hire companies, tipper fleets, haulage companies, shipping companies all come under the same umbrella of selling off assets to pay for inheritance tax with large family owned businesses that have been built up through generations.

An attack on personal wealth and ownership, from our visionary leader. Voters never saw that coming..

I have been to the 2 demonstrations where it was on foot. The CA had a presence at both including a speech by Anne Mallalieu. There is a site that covers it all Join our mailing list . I'm not a farmer but I do feel passionate about it.

What would you do then ?

I agree that morals, ethics and backbone are lacking. I don’t see a long train of politicians demonstrating those characteristics in Reform.

Pretty earth shattering when you count their number , 5 MP's is it?

They still have plenty of politicians! Just don’t think they will be any different.

What party is a better choice?

 

[Essexsussex]

What party is a better choice?

I’ll be waiting to the next election to decide

I just don’t buy the insinuation that you’ll get politicians full of moral fibre to vote for. Doesn’t stop them being the best choice at the time of course.
