Labour are coming for the farms.

The State-sanctioned land grab.

We need to stop calling Rachel Reeves Lego hair. It’s like referring to Stalin as uncle Joe, instead of cold-hearted killer. Lego suggests a playfulness when in fact the only thing Reeves has ever played is chess as a 16 year old. Very impressive, although most of us grow out of breaking personal wheelie gum chewing records, and certainly aren’t claiming our gaming victories in Risk might enable us to be Defence Secretary.

We all had skills that are now rusty from our teens, and it’s increasingly apparent that she might have the same level of skill in chess as she did at the Bank of England, i.e. ‘f***ing useless’. She views farmers, you know those people that wake up at 5am every day to toil land in producing food with greater efficiency than their ancestors did, as landed gentry with rolling estates in which to hold shooting parties and play Edwardian lawn games. Socialism hates private ownership so she’s spied a way which the state can appropriate private property in the name of tax.

In knowledge of the incoming assault on farmers, John Charlesworth, 78, was found dead at his 70-acre farm in Barnsley, Yorkshire, a man so afraid of being financial burden to his family that he committed suicide before Labour can enact their brutality. I’m sure Reeves and Two-Tier Starmer will be delighted to hear the demise of a greedy land owner who has avoided paying tax for government vanity projects for way too long.

What did Labour say? That the grown ups are back in the room, only it’s the sort of grown ups that you see large teenagers playing while a university, all pumped up on their first grocery shop, shared utility bills in their name and hair dye; all know-it-alls who understand zilch. You know nothing in life until it falls painfully on your head.

Thanks to Two-Tier Starmer and is 3rd degree political student front bench, all apparently dressed for a roadside litter-pick, have decided that combined business and agricultural assets - not disposable wealth - worth over £1m will now be taxed at 20%. With the price of most farmland and machinery that’s most farms in the UK who will now have to sell their property to pay inheritance tax instead of allowing them to be inherited tax-free. What business is it of any government to be stealing estates from farmers. Or for that matter imposing inheritance tax in the first place.

Rachel Reeves has insisted the nation cannot afford to let all farmers continue passing on their estates without paying inheritance tax. She’s right, how else will India cope without overseas aid to finance their space programme, or the NHS fund its lights left on, with heating jacked up to 28 degrees with the windows open, or to house illegal young men in hotels to the tune of £8m per day if our farmers don’t help meet their part of the bill that it’s unlikely they voted for? Besides, how much money will be raised from farming inheritance tax amount to? Well, our reliable tax payers money destroyer, the NHS, would burn though it in approximately a single day.

What Reeves hasn’t mentioned is that the nation can’t afford to not have famers; we are only 4 meals from a famine. As with energy, Labour are determined that Britain is not self-sufficient and reliant upon other countries for energy, and food. That Spain produces 32% of UK fresh veg is well and good until they begin to lose farmland to Next Zero.

Bucolic farm land untouched by his obsession with Net Zero keeps Ed Miliband awake at night. His oxymoronic Energy Security and Net Zero department is already covering thousand of acres of fertile farmland in Norfolk with mirrors that barely produce electricity in winter, and demonic wind farms that are unreliable until we can control the wind. Miliband will be rubbing his hand with glee as the inheritance tax changes result in more agricultural land becoming available for renewable energy projects rather than, well, growing food and livestock. The money is in Net Zero and renewable developers will be hovering over family farms like Pac Man over a ball pit of ghosts. We might have intermittent energy and reach Labour’s pointless Net Zero targets, but no food.

Labour had already shown disdain for rural affairs when appointing Steve Reed as Secretary for Rural affairs, where his background as leader of a Lambeth council made him proud of high urban knife crime and a housing department that clobbers private landlords for needless major works while now refusing to answer phones person and instead hiding behind automated email replies. Much of the public sector is too busy enjoying flexible working hours and protected pensions to now do any actual work.

The Labour land grab of private farms in the UK should come as no surprise to anyone with even a passing interest in communism. The briefest glance shows socialism never works because it works against human nature rather than with it. That’s before you add up the number of deaths attributed to it, which is often estimated at 20million. That’s quite a figure for a doctrine that purports to be in the best interests of mankind; imagine what it could achieve if it actually tried. Mind you, Stalin wasn’t shy in more deliberate killings. Collective farming was a disaster. And once they own the land they control the food supply, it’s just that farming knowledge is specific to particular farms, the details of the climate, the topography, water, soil, etc, all handed down the generations with the care of a gold pocket watch. It’s the crucial knowledge that is lost once bureaucrats take charge.

But we are so divorced from the food chain will people even care? A fifth of the 4million people who eat McDonald’s every day have it delivered. Food comes from a box. And as with Labour MPs, many people see farmers as rich and entitled. In fact, if more self-absorbed pro-noun spaghetti letter ++ people spent a day in toil they might find something more important to complain about than their identity not being celebrated every day from every public building in the land.

As with all communists our newly elected State on 20% of the vote likes to steal land from small private landowners. This budget is set to force farmers to sell their land to corporations and mega farms. Bill Gates, biggest private owner of farmland in the US, together with a representative of Blackrock, were both at Downing Street just over a week before the budget delivered this blow to UK farmers that will no doubt force them to sell their farms and land. Perhaps the best name for Rachel Reeves is Thieves.
