Magnificent turnout.

How can we rid ourselves of this horrid government?

We can't, not until 2029.

And if the Tory approval ratings are anything to go by, likely not then either.

I'm glad to say that  I never voted for the bunch of cu**s. You see all the promises of not raising taxes in the run up to the election total lies, just wait till the the first pensioner is found dead from hyperthermia , it will happen there are many out there that really needed the winter fuel payment, god alone knows how they will survive a harsh winter. I'm with the farmers 100 percent good luck with them if they've got a few quid I know several personally & know the  work they have to put in & the problems they face.

We stay on a working farm when we go up to North Yorkshire. Richard is at it from five in the morning till well after dark, 365 days a year. People see it as a healthy, romantic sort of job (too much watching Countryfile) but I can assure you it's firkin hard graft. It's lonely, too, a lot of farmers have mental health problems.

Saw an interview with a bloke on TV this morning whose Farmer Dad committed suicide a week after the budget.
He left notes with all his working out, trying to make the sums add up and he just couldnt. It broke him. 
Doesnt really matter what a farm is theoretically worth. In most cases they pass them down through the generations, often for centuries.
A former adviser to Blair let the cat out of the bag on telly last week.
He said "The country doesnt need small farms. We can do to them what Thatcher did to the miners".
And Starmer is on telly today denying its anything to do with class war.
Very few Farmers vote Labour, and therein lies the answer to why they are doing what they are doing.
I can see this lot quickly becoming the worst, least competent,  and most hated Govt of all time. Maybe even surpassing Blair.

I know a family where 3 generations work on a local farm. Being able to pass it on is more a case of keeping their job / livelihood at a time of bereavement than an inheritance that they can cash in.

Labour thought they'd dish out a poke in the eye to the likes of Clarkson. As usual, they were unable to think of consequences beyond the inner cities and it has backfired on them.

[Sir Tigger KC]

I can see this lot quickly becoming the worst, least competent,  and most hated Govt of all time. Maybe even surpassing Blair.

In just over four months I think that they have already achieved that feat. 

I honestly didn't think I'd see a worst PM than Blair in my lifetime. Theresa May came close, but Starmer has done it. He is simply dreadful, and frankly an evil bastard as well.

I often watch 'Harrys Farm' (from Harrys Garage fame) on Youtube and he sums it up really well.

What is really interesting is he goes over his profits and costs and in his recent output was showing that he is only actually farming a third of the land at the moment as the subsidies are now granted on 'set aside' (or what ever bull name they are using this week).

He was also saying that there is a plan to place a heavy carbon tax on fertiliser.

[Rangie]

One I've known for several years he's 77 years old & is the original owners grandson  is locked in a battle with companies regarding pylons they simply want to destroy acres of his land he is not interested in the compensation, simply wants to get on with his life as normal, the council simply bury their heads in the sand ( whilst pocketing the backhanders) Why are the hardest working people being treated so badly?

The Govt. say that this will raise an extra £500 million in tax revenue per annum.
They are currently sending £520 million per annum  to farmers in foreign countries.
Says it all really.

You really couldn't make this up, doesn't anybody in any political party have any financial sense ? Charity begins at home more than ever now ,we have armed forces veterans sleeping rough, families relying on foodbanks to survive and probably people freezing to death this winter, these idiots voted in cannot seem to get this into their heads.

As they swish around in their chauffeur driven cars, why would they know how ordinary folk live.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

They are citizens of the world. Globalists.
They dont really recognise the concept of countries, nations and all that old fashioned, non progressive crap.
They are coached to speak as if they do though, in order to get votes.
Thats why they always sound insincere when they trot out soundbites about "ordinary hard working people" etc. etc.
This is going to be a very dangerous Govt. even by the standards of recent Govts.

Meanwhile ar COP26 the poorer countries are about to walk out because us richer countries have only offered them an extra 300 billion (on top of what we already give them) when they are demanding at least 500 billion.
Its far call to do with climate change and everything to do with global redistribution of (our) wealth.
Karl Marx would be so proud.
