Jeremy Clarkson will lead 20,000 farmers in a march on central London on Tuesday to protest against changes to inheritance tax, as tensions run high.

Jeremy failson more like. Dickhead buys a farm to dodge taxes, then gets pissy when the tax dode loophole gets a teeny tiny bit more fiddlycult difficult fiddlycult to loo.

    farmers who are doing even moderately okay will essentially not be able to pass their land on to their children without their kids forking out near £60k

    So they have to pay 60k to receive more a than a million in assets? Seems like a pretty good deal and one you'll easily be able to get a loan for

    working-class farmers

    If you have net assets of more than a million pounds, you're not really working class

      Yeah, and pay it off with what? A lot of farms run on really thin margins.

      Again, I'm not so sure. Plenty of people I know work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet but happen to own a home they bought cheap before their area gentrified.

      The housing market has severely skewed any sense of normalcy on land and property values, and it's not like those who own houses are getting dividends on the change in the value of the house.
