Dear Editor,

I wrote to your publication over six months ago with my concerns regarding the assault on farmers and the attacks on their industry both in this country and elsewhere.

This (last) week’s protests in London by tens of thousands of farmers opposing the government's unfair inheritance tax measures announced in the recent budget, making it uneconomical and in many cases financially impossible for retiring farmers to pass on their farms and land to their sons and daughters, show how far the agenda that I outlined is gaining pace.

On top of the costs of farm machinery, fuel price increases, and fertilisers, this immoral tax could be the final nail in the coffin for many farmers already considering ‘throwing in the towel’.

This matters to all of us, and IT WILL impact on all of us because we rely on our farmers to feed us.

Readers should ask themselves: why are punitive regulations and bureaucratic red tape being imposed on farmers all over the world, seemingly in some sort of coordinated effort to undermine their very existence?

A little research reveals it’s all part of the World Economic Forum’s ‘Agenda 2030’ and the United Nations ‘Sustainable Goals’—measures being implemented to tackle the so-called ‘climate emergency’, dictated by unelected institutions to world governments and carried out by their incumbent leaders.

Unelected organisations, furthermore, run by billionaires and people who fly around the world in private jets, preaching to us lowly serfs that we should cut our carbon footprint.

Oh, the irony.

Keir Starmer has openly pledged allegiance to Davos in preference to his own UK parliament.

He is little more than a useful pawn, in turn taking orders from the puppet masters and corporations behind these agendas.

Anyone asking important questions or indeed protesting about this dystopian agenda is labelled a ‘far-right extremist’, a tired and completely predictable media technique that serves to shut down debate and conversation.

I will repeat the equation I ended my last correspondence to you with because it is so simple and needs to be understood: No farmers = no food = food shortages.
