00:00Everything that's been going on with the inheritance tax, the changes, the rules, the new rules they're making, all the changes.

00:08Yeah, we're not in support of the changes they're making, obviously,

00:13and basically show our support for British farming.

00:16We're here today just to protest Labour's disgusting new laws against farmers.

00:21They're making it impossible for us to do our job and maintain a living.

00:26A lot of people think that this is about taxing the rich, and it's not.

00:31We're losing our homes, we're losing everything our grandparents and great-grandparents have worked for.

00:36It's going to be a right sod, really, because we're going to have to split the farm up if it's sold, you know, to pay the tax.

00:42And we don't earn that much money.

00:44But we're here as much for everything else in the country against this government that they're doing.

00:50You know, it's not just the inheritance tax.

00:52I mean, we live in an island, don't we?

00:55We need food, we need fishermen, we need the haulage industry and a good infrastructure and defence.

01:02And without those things, we're finished as an island.
