London farmers protest: You must have seen many photos of farmers demonstrating in India, but now in another country farmers are taking to the streets. Tractors suddenly started rolling down London’s gleaming streets on Wednesday. People were surprised to see hundreds of tractors. Eventually, after some time, it became clear that this was not a tractor race but troubled farmers who opposed the inclusion of farming families in an “inheritance tax”.
fields will be destroyed
Farmers staged a tractor parade through the streets of central London in protest, blocking roads and demanding the government not include farming families in inheritance tax. Farmers are demanding exemption from this tax. Farmers say it will destroy family farms and reduce food production.
Road to the Capitol is blocked
To put pressure on the government, farmers also blocked the Sansad Bhawan road with tractors. Farmers were also seen standing outside Parliament holding placards. The placards read: “No farmers, no food, no future.”

Farmers’ income decreases
Farmers say their income has declined over the past few years. In October this year, the government said it would tax farmers’ land starting in 2026. Since then, protests have broken out across the country. In November, large-scale protests occurred in London. Not only that, more than 13,000 farmers gathered on the streets of Westminster.
