they are faced with an then they are faced with an enormous inheritance tax bill. when that dear, beloved relative passes on. and when i say, you know, huge bills, we're talking hundreds of thousands of pounds, possibly even over a million among the thousands of farmers attending the protest today, there have also been many of the future generation hoping to take over their family's farm. >> one day earlier, one of the farmer hopefuls told gb news he wants the government to rethink . wants the government to rethink. >> its just important because family farms are what have like provided food for england through two world wars and up to now, so it's a vital part of like our economy. it's a way of life. it's not a job. i've been brought up around farming and i can't really imagine my life without it. i just want people to listen. i just want the government to hear what we're saying, and at least have a look. go back to the drawing board and just see if they can do it better and help more family farms like us elsewhere. >> northamptonshire police have confirmed that 24 year old bella ,

inheritance tax rules. and yet the national farmers union themselves say it will be at least two thirds. i have to say, my conclusion on all of this is the small farmer, somebody running 5 or 10 acres, a smallholder basically will be fine. the giant agribusinesses, they'll be fine as well . it's they'll be fine as well. it's they'll be fine as well. it's the people in the middle that simply won't be fine. property pnces simply won't be fine. property prices over the last few years have rocketed land prices too. in fact, in lincolnshire, an acre of land now is about £30,000 an acre. and it is true that some billionaires have bought up vast tracts of farmland without ever intending to farm them themselves as a way of avoiding inheritance tax. but what this proposal does is to hit families running farms, families whose incomes are incredibly modest, far more modest than i think most people believe they've got an asset. yes, that's worth a lot of money, although for many of them it isn't just about money. it's about a way of life that's been going for on generations. and i

would ask people to think our countryside is admired. the world over. people love the british countryside, and one of the reasons is those families have farmed it so well for so long. now this was far from the first time that i've been out with the rural communities protesting in this country. i was out 25 years ago, 20 years ago, protesting against the hunting ban . indeed, 406,000 of hunting ban. indeed, 406,000 of us marched on that countryside march. we weren't listened to by the government at all. it kind of didn't matter , because it was of didn't matter, because it was the conservatives that held the rural constituencies, not laboun rural constituencies, not labour. and blair wasn't bothered this time. it may be different. well, i turned up on parade. i have to say, on a personal level, i was really, really thrilled at the welcome that i received from people queuing up in whitehall. oh no, no no .

110 110. >> no no. >> jul jul . nigel. >> jul jul. nigel. >> jul jul. nigel. >> nigel. >> nigel. >> it means something, doesn't it? it.7 >> it? >> nigel. >> nigel. >> well, that was very touching, but it summed up the day people were despite their fears. and by the way, i visited farmers in essex who've literally been in tears talking about this because they're really, really scared about the impact . but they're really, really scared about the impact. but in they're really, really scared about the impact . but in fact, about the impact. but in fact, the atmosphere was amazing. it was upbeat, it was jolly, it was peaceful. i barely heard a swear word all day. it was extraordinary. it was a remarkably british thing, kind of . that's how we do it. remarkably british thing, kind of. that's how we do it. but i did hear1 or 2 people saying, did hear 1 or 2 people saying, well, maybe we ought to be a bit more like the french. whether that's really good advice. i don't know. can we make any progress with this? well, jeremy clarkson was there, which was good to see given the recent medical problems that he's had. and i think he feels as much as i feel that something can be done about this. and here's the reason why labour now have

somewhere between 70 and 100 seats. they won at the election in rural or semi—rural constituencies . and i think what constituencies. and i think what this movement now needs to do is not just to get together in london, but to be seen in market towns all over this country, especially ones that labour won by very narrow margins at the next general election. i always knew that the hunting ban was going to come in. i always knew that no one would listen, but this time i think we can get a change. i think we can get a serious revision of that starting level . well, the prime starting level. well, the prime minister was interviewed by gb news chris hope earlier on today in south america at the g20. doesn't look like he intends at this stage to budge. >> very important for me to keep making the case that it's only farms and assets over £3 million. in a typical case of a of parents wanting to pass on to their children , and therefore

their children, and therefore for that reason, i'm confident that the vast majority of farms will not be affected. i grew up in a rural area. i know firsthand that rural areas, farming communities, they do need the investment that we put in the budget in. >> there we are. he's not budging. my question for you at home is this just the start of a rural revolt, yes or no? give me your thoughts . farage @gbnews your thoughts. farage @gbnews .com. liz webster, who's been on this program a few times before. founder of save british farming. i guess in one way, you must have been quite pleased to see so many people there . so many people there. >> it was a great day and a fantastic turnout, and i thought it would be a big turnout because there's so much emotion and anger. and it's not just farmers because there's lots of other sectors that feed into farming as well as local people. i mean, from my village, the local pub owners were there today and people feel as if it's an attack on rural communities

in particular. and it's not just about the inheritance tax. there's many other things that are going on as well, particularly with the national insurance changes , that's insurance changes, that's hitting small and medium sized businesses . but it also, as you businesses. but it also, as you referred to, big businesses , big referred to, big businesses, big agricultural businesses, they're hit too. i know one of the country's biggest raspberry growers , his wages bill has gone growers, his wages bill has gone up growers, his wages bill has gone ”p by growers, his wages bill has gone up by £4.2 million, and he just doesn't have the money to pay that. and what it means is that that. and what it means is that that raspberry business might no longer exist, and there's nowhere to import those raspberries in from. so we might be raspberry less because of this government. >> i mean, your point about it's not just iht. i agree with you. actually a lot of farmers are very unhappy with the growth of solar energy. not happy
