Nigel Farage in London with hundreds of farmers today

Pity Farage didn't think about Farmers more when he was driving Brexit through. Brexit had and continues to have a huge negative impact on farmers and farming.

His vested interest is probably from the hunting angle as we all know he and Reform are big blood sports fans.

All over the place except in his constituency.

He bought farmland as a tax avoidance device.

The independent tax expert Dan Neidle calculates the number of farms affected by abolishing this wheeze will be below 500 per year. There are 209,000 farms in the UK, so we can’t even say we’re taking about the fabled “1%”, since only the very richest 0.2% will be affected. They may think they’re poor, but median household wealth in the UK is £302,000. If you’re inheriting ten times as much tax-free, you shouldn’t be surprised that I don’t want to buy your charity single.

Farage’s presence means the protests become the Nigel Farage Show. An overt attention-seeking narcissist never misses an opportunity. The genuine farmers concerned about this don’t want him at these protest.

No farmers, no food? Rupert Lowe’s crazy bill to abolish Quantitive Easing will mean no food supply at all were Reform ever in charge of the Exchequer.

Look beyond his attention-seeking antics for his own personal gain and consider why Reform wants to stop the Bank of England creating money?

I agree Barleyfields and wonder what city slicker came up with this not-so-bright idea.
FGS Rachel Reeves, just put income tax up! We can’t have good public services without paying for them, and stop scrabbling around trying to find evermore wild ideas for raising cash.

I support the farmers 100%

Nigel Farage appears to be astute when it comes to assessing public opinion.

*NO FARMERS NO FOOD*

I agree NO FARMERS NO FOOD but think Farage is jumping on the latest bandwagon (or the farmers' tractors) and is a self-publicist.

Even if that percentage is correct MOnica, 25% of the country’s agricultural land is still a very large amount. Cock-eyed is right. Ill thought out and ill judged.

84 candidates in Cornwall, they tell people what they want to hear ( or so it seems ) not sure what will happen if they actually get to power in the Cornish Councils.

I wonder if they will field the same number in the rest of the U.K. ?

Not really. 75% of our agricultural land is owned and farmed by large estates and commercial estate companies, who are not affected by this piece of cock-eyed legislation. www.fwi.co.uk/business/markets-and-trends/land-markets/who-owns-britains-farmland

It appears that he is throwing money around, loads of Reform candidates in Cornwall being advertised, I can’t remember how many MzOops told me but over 30.

( Advertised isn’t the right word for candidates but I can’t remember the correct one)
