I've been puzzled by the lack of explanations as this 'story' has developed. Why shouldn't farmers/Clarkson's kids pay inheritance tax? I genuinely don't know what the basis of their protest is, and I'm none the wiser from the interviews given by two young farm workers who were interviewed at the protest. Today on The Daily Politics, we had three politicians from recognisable parties and someone who was introduced as 'Alex Phillips, of GB News'. Is GB News a political party now? Last time I looked, Alex Phillips was a UKIP candidate!
We don't seem to have as many posh farmers in Australia, but the realities of climate change are certainly changing the minds of many farmers. When you track the seasons and weather patterns in a five year diary - as my farmer grandfather did - it's hard to escape the fact that the climate is definitely changing.
As to the wind farms, Australian scientists have done research, and there's a remarkable and clearcut difference between the people affected by infrasound (also caused by things like trees), and those that are not; and the difference is whether or not you receive a payment for the windfarm. Many farmers are being paid so much for having one on their properties that they no longer have to worry about loss of income during droughts. While you can't really grow wheat under them, they certainly aren't a problem with sheep or cattle.
I hope your government stands firm with the inheritance tax - that works out at about $6 million AUD, which is extremely wealthy by any sensible person's estimation. Sadly, if they're as bad at selling sensible policies as the Australian Labor Party, it's doomed. Why is the left so bad at messaging, and the right so bad at anything but messaging?
Offensive / Defensive Clarkson, when asked about his own farm? and the reason he bought it ( avoid inheritance tax) the fuxxxr froze, we know a grifter when we see and here them ,and the chief Shepard showed up Nigel Farage, cheered by his Brexit foxes.
