Preparing for PM: Nigel Farage Appeals to Muslim Voters & Rural Farmers as 10,000 Protest PM Starmer's Globalist Land Grab
- Plus Nuclear Escalation with Russia and the WARRIOR CREED Podcast
1) British farmers protest PM Starmer
In a development that is surely set to alienate Labour PM Keir Starmer, around 15,000 farmers were out protesting the planned inheritance tax rise in front of Parliament in Westminster on Tuesday.
The Times reports 19th November 2024:
The Times reports 19th November 2024:
“More than 10,000 people have gathered in Whitehall for the protest, according to the Metropolitan Police. ‘It’s always difficult to calculate an exact attendance figure for these events, but we estimate that there are now in excess of 10,000 people present in Whitehall with more arriving,’ a spokesman for the force said …The official protest has now ended and the crowd is dispersing.”
The atmosphere at the protest appears to have remained cordial even as tractors were recorded breaking through police barricades.

The causes behind this farmers uprising relate to PM Starmer’s planned rise in inheritance tax on farms.
The Times reports 19th November 2024:
The Times reports 19th November 2024:
“Why are farmers protesting? Farmers are protesting against changes to inheritance tax rules, which were announced by Rachel Reeves in the budget. Under the new plans, farms worth more than £1 million will be subject to a 20 per cent inheritance tax from April 2026…In addition to the changes to inheritance tax, farmers are also protesting changes to farm subsidy schemes. Last month’s budget also sped up the phase-out of EU-era subsidies as funding is switched to nature-friendly farming schemes. Research by the Liberal Democrats has estimated that farmers could have their basic payments reduced by half while they wait until 2028 for the government to introduce a new payment system — another financial blow for a cash-poor industry.”
The concern here is that this tax increase is set to deprive smaller, family-owned farms from being able to pass their farms down to their heirs, risking major cash flow problems in what is traditionally an asset-rich but cash-poor industry.
The Times reports 19th November 2024:
The Times reports 19th November 2024:
“The grassroots march of farmers and their allies down Whitehall on Tuesday has been organised by a group of farming influencers. The social media personalities’ accounts used to be filled with posts about farming kit, new drilling techniques and the beauty of the British countryside. However, since the budget, they have turned their attention to a campaign to overturn the chancellor Rachel Reeves’s decision to charge inheritance tax on farms. Their rally is expected to overshadow the official National Farmers Union event in Westminster’s Church House conference centre, with at least 15,000 protesters.”
A consequence, and justified fear of this policy is that smaller, family-owned businesses that just about make ends meet will suffocate and open the door to a globalist corporate takeover of the British food supply-chain by funds such as Blackrock and billionaires rapidly buying up farm land such as Bill Gates.
The Guardian reports 5th April 2021:
“In total, Gates owns approximately 242,000 acres of farmland with assets totalling more than $690m. To put that into perspective, that’s nearly the size of Hong Kong and twice the acreage of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, where I’m an enrolled member. A white man owns more farmland than my entire Native nation!”
This is similar to what globalists have already done to the energy sector through their net-zero scam and to countless small family-owned businesses during Covid-era lockdowns, as anti-Net Zero campaigner Lois Perry has pointed out.
Protesting farmers have articulated precisely these concerns to media.

Broadcaster: “Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber is down here this morning. It is cold. It is wet, but you are down here. Why?”
Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber: “Well, I farm about just under 5,000 acres myself, but I'm not here because of me, or anything like that. I'm here to support the small farmers. I mean, they are the absolute salt of the earth. They're the people who really keep our countryside going. I am a passionate lover of the countryside. In my way, I've done what I can with my farm, which we farm now for 40 years, quietly. We don't bang the drum about that. But I'm here just really entirely for the small farmers, not for myself.”
Broadcaster: “What is the fear, Andrew? What would your fear be should this tax impact these farms in the longer term?”
Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber: “In the longer term, what will happen is they'll all be bought by probably foreigners, outsiders, people who are not buying it for the love of the countryside. They're buying it purely as a long-term investment. Many, many, many people are hovering around at the moment, rubbing their hands in glee about all of this. And they, I can assure you, they're not British.”
Broadcaster: “And why do you think the government are not concerned about that?”
Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber: “Because i think they got confused. I think that they've confused people who have been buying land just for the sake of buying land to avoid inheritance tax, with the people who actually farm the land and do it themselves, you know.”
Broadcaster: “So it's a myth, isn't it, that all the farmers are swimming in cash?”
Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber: “Well, of course it's a myth. They may, on paper, have a big asset, but in practice that asset produces nothing. And I read a really, very good comment made that if actually somebody came on Dragon's Den and said that this asset only pays back 0.2%, which is what most farms do, Dragon's Den would say, this ain’t a business!”
But the fact that around 15,000 farmers have been galvanised against this policy does not bode well for the Labour PM Keir Starmer.
The Times reports 18th November 2024:
The Times reports 18th November 2024:
“The demonstrations enjoyed overwhelming public support and President Macron’s government capitulated, announcing 70 measures in support of farms, including short-term funding of more than €1 billion (£836 million) and a promise to reduce environmental inspections. There was also a pledge to raise the threshold at which farms are liable for inheritance tax from €500,000 to €700,000, while increasing the cut-off point for partial relief from €1 million to €1.2 million — taking French agricultural fiscal policy in the opposite direction to Britain’s under Sir Keir Starmer…”
If the recent and ongoing French experience is anything to go buy, Starmer will not only have to capitulate, but the farmers will prove themselves more popular with the public than the government.
The Times reports 18th November 2024:
“…On Monday, farming unions staged more than 80 demonstrations across France, blocking strategic roads around Paris, including one next to the Villacoublay air force base used by Macron for official visits in his presidential plane…Nevertheless, there are some lessons for Starmer from the French crisis. The first is that farmers cannot easily be bought off with words alone. The second is that if they have public support, they represent a redoubtable opponent for any government…As 82 per cent of French people have backed the farmers, according to a recent poll, Barnier and Macron have felt obliged to fall into line behind them.”
We are reminded here of Canada’s experience with the truckers during the Covid-era. Disturbing the peace of those who keep the lights on in any country typically does not end well for the government.
2) Clampdown options for the state
Popular resistance to Starmer’s and Macron’s ongoing globalist takeover of the UK and France continues to grow, matching such anti-globalist movements the world over. The globalist cabal in power are aware of this, and seek to enact draconian measures to quell support, as they already tried to do in Canada with the Truckers.
The BBC reports 15th February 2022:
However, the measures previously taken by PM Trudeau in freezing the bank accounts of the truckers have already been tried and failed on Nigel Farage’s movement in the UK.
The Times reports 20th July 2023:
“Banks face losing their licences if they close accounts because they disagree with the customer’s political opinions under plans to protect free speech. Ministers are considering making free speech protections a condition of permits after Coutts closed down the accounts of Nigel Farage, the former leader of the UK Independence Party (Ukip), because his views did not ‘align with our values’.”
It is therefore unlikely that such a measure can now be taken against protesting farmers. But there are plenty of other means at the state’s disposal and existing statute law is likely to be one of them.
Let us not forget that to quell last summer’s communal riots PM Starmer used the UK’s unstable hate-speech laws. The blowback from this experience is still reverberating as last week police launched a thought-crime investigation into national journalist Allison Pearson, over a tweet.
The Times reports 18th November 2024:
The Times reports 18th November 2024:
“The police force investigating a newspaper columnist for allegedly inciting racial hatred has recorded 1,500 non-crime hate incidents in the past two years. Essex police logged 702 non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) between June 2023 and June 2024 and 834 in the 12 months before that, freedom of information responses revealed.”
The worst part of this existing hate speech law is that it provides for police involvement in citizens’ speech that is itself categorised as ‘non-criminal’ for the express Orwellian purpose of preventing future crime.
The Times reports 18th November 2024:
“Essex police has been criticised by free-speech campaigners for investigating a now-deleted tweet by The Daily Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson. Pearson’s tweet is being treated as an alleged criminal offence of inciting racial hatred, rather than a non-crime hate incident. Harry Miller, a former police officer who had NCHIs against him overturned at the Court of Appeal in 2021, said: ‘Non-crime hate incidents are only supposed to be recorded as a form of intelligence in order to prevent future crime’. Last week, The Times revealed that UK police forces had recorded more than 13,000 non-crime hate incidents in the past 12 months, including against schoolchildren, vicars and doctors.”
The law is worded so broadly that any third party may perceive an offence in your words, on behalf of someone else entirely, even if that someone else has not perceived said offence, and report this to the police as a non-crime hate incident.
Radical Media reported 1st May 2024:
So broad is this definition of ‘hate’ that it makes fairly implementing the law impossible. This is done so deliberately. A law that cannot be uniformly implemented fairly can only be implemented at the discretion of the authority concerned. This allows for the law to be weaponised against political opponents, even while others - who are paid agitators - may bait real dissidents by flagrantly exceeding all bounds, and yet remain free.
Just as he agitated during last summer’s communal riots against Muslims..
..the paid-asset and ex-actor Laurence Fox wasted no time in once again provoking trouble online, this time towards the police.
Unlike The Telegraph’s Allison Pearson, Fox was not troubled by police for this post, despite the fact that many would argue that incitement to violence sits in its own category.
Regardless, such language only leads to radicalisation, serving the divide and conquer strategy pursued by globalists. The police are not our enemy.
As protesting farmers themselves know, the real problem lies in Westminster. It is our absurd hate-speech laws that must be axed, not our police.
3) Nigel Farage appeals to Muslim voters
As he was with the farmers, the only national politician to be so broadly welcomed among a range of contemporary popular protest movements in the UK is Nigel Farage, who appears instinctively to understand the country on a host of major issues. This week, Farage has indicated that he intends to build a broad church movement that - despite what the likes of certain Ukippers and other ethno-nationalists may desire - does not exclude British Muslims.
Click to play:
Nigel Farage MP: “...but the nub of it is, we have a Muslim population of Britain growing by about 75% every 10 years. Right? That's just where we are. If we politically alienate the whole of Islam, we will lose. We'll lose.”
Broadcaster: “So how does one include them...”
Nigel Farage MP: “We will lose. By 2050, goodness knows what kind of a terrible state we're going to be in.”
Muslim commentators online have started to take note.
It is our view that a great and unprecedented political shift is about to occur among the UK’s minority communities.
Nigel Farage can indeed begin to win over these Muslim voters if he focuses on…
