I work for a Trade Union. My job requires me to speak to hundreds of people from differing races, religions, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age etc. Not once, EVER has anyone been offended by Christmas. F*ck Reform and their hate.
In the 70’s it was unthinkable that shops would open on Sundays. In the 80’s the law changed to allow Sunday opening. It was guaranteed that nobody would be forced to work and those that did would get premium pay. Now it’s contracted on normal pay. Could the Assisted Dying bill suffer similarly?
Where is the problem??
Greed.
Been day dreaming about how much we’ve lost in the past 10-15 years. I mourn the most for tolerance. The rise of hate & right wing hysteria against people who have a different sexuality or race - things that do no harm to anyone. It must’ve been simmering under the surface for years. Makes you weep

😢🙏🏼 Pleease spare a thought and put your hand in your pocket for this👇🏼poor Farmer
He was conned into paying £4.25 million from his own pocket for a farm thinking it was a tax loophole…
But a nasty Labour Govt closed the door on his scheme so he’s scrapping by on a net worth of circa £55.8 million 🤷🏼♂️
Fuck Off whinging if you’re rich as hell.
Seriously, just Fuck Off.
Some of us can’t even turn the fucking heating on when it’s snowing because your precious Tories & Brexit have fucked us all.
Pay your fucking taxes, shut the fuck up, you’ll fucking live, unlike some of us.
Get the impression that Tories are beginning to learn a big lesson. After years of making themselves and their cronies richer at the expense of the poorest, the phrase “What goes around comes around” springs to mind.
Now just pay your taxes. 💴. No sympathy here.
Worth noting that all those tractors chugging into London today pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ.
And they run on tax free red diesel.
Farmers might be better off if they'd planted more crops instead of posters in their fields.
How about Bohemian Rhapsody:
‘Spare him his life from these pork sausages’
Breaking, small number of very wealthy farmers and tax avoiding landowners receive disproportionate media coverage
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Remember the march to remain? Estimated at 1m involved. No press coverage.
A few farmers who don’t want to pay tax? Wall to wall on the BBC.
To be clear:
It's £1m untaxed, plus £325k of standard tax free inheritance.
You can double that if the farmer is married.
So farmers can hand down £2.65m tax free, and their kids pay 20% on everything else.
Tax on your job is 40% over £50k
"Land owner" is not a job

New here from X. This is me:
Trade Unionist for 40 years. Activist, rep, Organiser, Officer, Adviser.
Absolutely believe in equity and will stand with the underdog against oppression. I believe in the inner goodness of people. Farmers should pay their taxes. Excess profit is underpayment of wages.
Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax.
Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years.
This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.
Why do 70,000 'farmers' think they should own 90% of the UK forever and never pay tax.
While the other 68,930,000 have the other 10% to share and must pay tax.
The ultimate elitist BS.
Seen in Ireland. 🇮🇪

Theatre of dreams.
Can I just clarify something? Nurses, who saw their colleagues die during lockdown, were enemies when they dared to ask for higher pay. Farmers who refuse to pay tax on their massive inheritances, while children take empty lunchboxes to school are heroes? Got it!
This is the reason why those sitting on more than £1m worth of land need to pay their inheritance tax.
Perfectly put
