British farmers warn of bitter harvest
China DailyFarmers claim they have been fighting a financial battle for years. Clarkson has now become a figurehead for farmers' discontent, most particularly over the new government's planned reforms to inheritance tax on farms, which Webster called "a culture war that shows they have scant regard for country life". "After that strike, the few mines left were private and they do well, and I think that is what could happen to British farming if things continue like this," Webster explained. "There are as many different versions of Brexit as there are people who voted for it — they voted for change blindfolded, with no idea what that change was," she said. "For a long time, we've been reliant on just-in-time supplies from Europe, but the Spanish floods will cause a pinch point of food supply in the coming months."
