Why are Labour targeting the people who want to feed the country, and keep it green?

70% of the land in the UK is owned by farmers, who produce around 50% of our food.

I've just sat through 15 years of austerity, where the absolute poorest and the disabled in society have had their meagre existences made much worse, as the tory government revelled in taking from the poor to ensure none of these people would ever have to pay more.

The refusal to take money from the top for nearly 2 decades has left this country on it's absolute arse. No country has ever cut it's way to prosperity, and unfortunately, folks need to start ponying up.Living standards in the UK are now worse than the poorer EU countries we had a brexit to stop coming here.

They pay considerably less inheritance tax than general citizens and they are given a decade to pay off the bill. At some point, harsh taxation needs to start redressing the imbalance before the country really slides into a period of extreme right wing politics.
