If you haven't heard about Europe's communist war on farmers, it's time to start paying attention.
For years, there have been headlines like this:
Coupled with mass protests like this:
The UK, which recently elected the far-left Labour Party to rule the country, has also been active in the war against farmers.
Why?
Well, the short answer is that commies always go after the farmers first.
In the most recent case of government overreach into people's fundamental liberties, the UK now wants to impose harsh inheritance taxes on farms - even small ones.
Starting in 2026, farms worth more than £1m will be subject to a tax of TWENTY PERCENT.
Understand, a million pounds isn't that much these days. That's the price of a starter home in some cities. Meanwhile, a small business with a few employees could easily be valued at a million dollars.
Now imagine that you are a 6th-generation farmer that pays a handful of people to work a few hundred acres of land. You might have razor-thin margins that only let you take home a salary of 30,000 pounds, but if the government thinks you are valued at a few million, they are going to tax you out of existence!!
British TV host Jeremy Clarkson, who previously starred on the mega-famous "Top Gear" program and hosts Britain's version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," owns a farm that has been featured on 3 seasons of an Amazon show (appropriately titled "Clarkson's Farm"). In that show, he regularly pokes fun at the insane levels of government regulation that make modern farming almost impossible.
He joined the protest on Tuesday to show his support. Look at how the BBC tried to twist his words/intent:
The Babylon Bee's Joel Berry summed this whole thing up nicely:
