Clarkson & Kaleb are the best for getting the message across.I read this article over breakfast this morning and was in full agreement with his views & comments.Would be great to get a few thousand tractors into Trafalgar Square.But we have NO LEADERS.

Demanding what ? Specifically. Because the only specific thing the Germans seem to be bellyaching about is the loss of their diesel rebate. Is our red under threat ?

why would that poster know that ?
We have our own particular problems here as every group that should be supporting us are trying to put us out of business.
Farmers protesting about the NFU could confuse the public though.
Think we need to be a bit more specific. I'm struggling to fit all of that onto a banner.
How very dare you.
sorry Jezza
Never needed such a big banner in my lifetime.
Two actually. First was exempting tractors from tax dating from 1922 and the other was the fuel rebate. Both driven by the green faction of the coalition government.
The reaction of the farmers - with the support of well over 60% of the population - made them rescind the first and offer to phase in the latter over three years.
Neither are YET under threat here but then the greens have limited affect on policy (to date).
Anyone who sees having to pay road tax on their tractor as presenting an existential threat to their business needs to give their head a wobble.
