Farmers Rally in London Against Inheritance Tax Reforms

TL;DR Summary
Farmers are protesting against proposed changes to inheritance tax, which they argue threaten their ability to pass farms to the next generation, a deeply rooted cultural expectation. The government contends that the current tax exemptions are unfair and unsustainable, as they allow wealthy individuals to avoid taxes by purchasing farmland. While the government plans to implement a 20% tax on affected farms, farmers argue that their wealth is tied to land value rather than income, and they are determined to continue their campaign against the changes.
