This time in what was and hopefully will be again Great Britain. You may have noticed our agrarian friends have been protesting all over Europe, and now it's hit the UK, catalyst being an inheritance tax which threatens to put family farms out of business.
Please don't think for a second that Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose et al aren't interested in a land grab, to say nothing of Blackrock & Co. Some even say solar panel/carbon capture/green scam firms have their eye on the country. No corruption there, move along, farming Fascists. Whatev, here's Clarkson:
There is something loathsome to me, and perhaps to you too, at the prospect of a gang of two-bit pol hack commies, shilling for Big AG and all of that, trying to destroy family farms. And what's left of the Middle Class. We voted against that in the States recently, maybe the UK will wake up. Maybe we need to send a couple of Carrier Groups and a Marine Expeditionary Force to liberate the Sceptered Isle. Maybe so.
Take away? "Infernal Government." Back down and stand down, you hated, corrupt, lying, malfeasant, proud, degenerate, pugnacious, hypocritical country hating commies.

Back down indeed. 2A anyone? Oh, wait.....
“The farmers are revolting!”
Starmer: You can say that again.

Loathsome? What’s to loathe? Precious resources such as land of course should be under the control of the wisest, most benevolent, the longest suffering [1] people who only want to improve the world for everyone. Duh.
I recently had the pleasure of reading a polemic on why the agricultural arenda system was GOOD for peasant Poles. Why shouldn’t the grubby class in Britain similarly benefit from the enlightened and benevolent guidance of their Betters? Dirty filthy ungrateful peasants.
[1] it is well known that suffering inculcates wisdom, nobility, generosity, and greatness of spirit. Never bitterness, resentment, envy, and lust for revenge. Never.
It's a serious issue, RHT. Mind you, farmers are still allowed shotguns, there is that.
Mike, I applaud your wisdom, as always. The sooner these parasitical kulaks are driven off the land the better.
FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE
The farmers, well, they really have no ability to effectively protest. The police will arrest them and lock them away, thus the farms are lost. Or they'll peeve off the Members of Parliament, and more onerous laws will be passed, thus the farms are lost. Or the government will outright just seize the lands for to give to all thea invades, and the farms are lost.
Farmers in the UK are roughly at the same point as white farmers in South Africa. All they can do, since they're basically tied to the land, is farm what they can while the government and various gangs of (non) indigs circle around them like sharks closing on a bleeding body.
At least farmers in the UK aren't, yet, being killed by governmental and non-governmental stooges. Operative word in the preceding sentence is 'yet.'
Under the current UK government, there's not, as far as I can tell, a single voice in Parliament, the Crown or in the entrenched Bureaucracy (Britain doesn't have swamps, right? So maybe call it the 'Deep Bog') that supports the farmers.
And, of course, since the follow-up target is the elimination of private ownership of land or anything else, this is the Government testing the waters to see how easy it is to steal everything.
They hate farmers, Beans. Don't say Blackrock.
