What a fantastic opening speech Olly, it was an absolute credit to you, well done mate. no one can say that you didn't give that speech from the bottom of your heart, it was straight to the point and was just perfect to sum up what all those farmers were thinking. A huge thank you and well done to the 5 off you who got this organised and to everyone who helped, absolutely amazing, and also a huge thank you to all the wife's and partners who supported you guys on this. Also well done to all who attended for keeping it peaceful, respectful, and for ensuring that the area was left cleaner at the end than you got it at the start. Well done and congratulations to everyone. I fear this is only the beginning of a very long fight to beat this lot of dictators. Keep up the great work, Thank you
This is one of the finest speeches I've heard in a very long time. Moving, passionate, and to the point. For a farmer from Liverpool, you speak what the farming community needs to be said in a way no one can misunderstand. I stand behind and support every farmer in the fight to get this extortionate tax revoked. 💯
Wonderful opening speech Olly That speech came from the heart every credit to you all You. Martin Andrew and all the. Rest you all surpassed your selves I don’t anybody believed you could have nearly 40000people in one the Main Streets in London have not one bit of trouble cleaned up any litter there was that’s Farmers for you a dedicated breed of people who always stand together and this is a prime example of the dedication they have and believe me this isn’t over yet thanks Olly and Team for all you have done for British Agriculture
I thought it should be mentioned that there was a farmer rally yesterday in Holsworthy Market Devon which I attended, overwhelming attendance. The feeling is strong throughout the farming industry,government must rethink and amend the budget decisions.
Olly a HUGE thank you too Martin, Andrew, yourself and everyone behind the scenes in getting this rally sorted Huge respect, not only in the rapid way you pulled this together, but the way you encouraged the crowds to be respectful in this dia time What an amazing rally with no negative press Show farmers in a positive light Take nothing but photographs leave nothing but footprints, was alway associated with the countryside, you certainly bought the countryside to the city I just hope this works, for ALL UK farmer's It's frightening how far removed from industry this government appears to be How can they still be in power after they totally miss sold their manifesto, if farmer's misrepresented their products the consumer would have the full weight of the law on their side Well done on your heartfelt speech Take care Geoff
Olly, thanks for putting this up as at the time the stream I was watching got stopped. Now that I know what you said completely, How can any right thinking person disagree with you eloquent speech????? There is nothing else to add to your speech but to say: I fully support you and everything you stand for, and I say to you as a well wisher, now the first part of this campaign has begun, PLEASE, FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, GET SOMEONE ELSE TO CARRY ON THE FRONT LINE BUSINESS. You have been under a lot of stress for the last few weeks and it it YOUR TIME TO PASS TO OTHERS, THE STRESS YOU HAVE FELT!!!!. We need you to be you, not just a figurehead, but you Olly Bloggs!! Just tell whoever, you need to take a step back and rest, (as if you would). You're a Farmer, we want you to remain farming and enjoy what you do. Don't let yourself be railroaded into something you are not prepared to do. Very best wishes as always, If I should ever get the opportunity to shake you by the hand, I would be the proudest man. Thanks for all you have done and hope you get some respite from "the press". Look forward to going back to normal?
Great work Olly, shades of Kevin bacons great speech in footloose. Fantastic work to everyone involved yesterday. Credit to the nation all of you and as all farmers are everyday 24/7 365 over generations and generations. Food is the most important national and political factor for any country and its people globally. We must stand together and be supported nationwide
Thankyou to the whole team . Olly there only one thing to say ,please don't shoulder the burden of this alone , it must be shared or you will burn out . Love to the family and to all that attended . What a display of good ppl showing how to protest peacefully and as only the Brits can do : with KINDNESS .
Great opening speech Olly 👏🏻 You should be very proud of what you achieved yesterday, yourself and the team put on a brilliant event. Your passion for the subject has shone through since this atrocious announcement, keep up the good work. However, like another commenter has said don’t shoulder this alone, make sure to look after yourself, and not to burn yourself out.
Congratulations to you and the team on organising this Olly. A mass attended, peaceful and positive event to highlight what the family farmers are now being challenged with. There seems to be so much dis information about which is being spread by those who don't know the facts but just repeating what been said by someone else. Personally I've ended up putting one of my relatives right and its typical of the press that the real good hasn't been covered much (e.g. the food bank donations). I helped on a local farm from a young age, then through the Youth Training Scheme after leaving school an onto Ag college etc. I may no longer work in farming, but I will always support it - it's in my blood! Please make sure you get some time to relax after all of this.
Great speech Olly, well done to you and the team. Only downside I see is if this government won’t change their mind, we need to vote the Tories back in!!
I have the greatest respect for You Olly, Andrew, Clive, Martin and James with what You have done in such a short time. At the moment the Government seem to be sticking to their Guns but We have to keep up the momentum until they at least listen. On behalf of Farmers everywhere Thank You
Heartbreaking. This cannot happen. This WILL NOT HAPPEN. We must all stand United This is the last straw. Enough is enough. A hungry man is a ANGRY MAN
It was great to join the Farmers yesterday, the support was amazing. But let's not forgot, it's not just APR/BPR/IHT changes, it's also the WEF agenda 30 & 50 to reduce the amount of farming that will affect you amazing people!!
Thank you Wishing You all Success we NEED You May The Knowledge of Your Hard Work Carry on For Future GENERATIONS The People NEED Food NOT People in Government that do NOT Support The Importance Of Our Survival
Good to the point speech sir. Much respct to you all ,gentleman and lady farmers. Pity the starmer was too afraid to be there and respond but maybe its better he wasnt there to marr the day with that nasal drone.
Formal compliance with the law is a relative value while the absolute value of the law resides in a few simple principles of justice. When the law contradicts these principles it is the moral duty of each of us to do all we can to reform it.
Olly, You are not a radical, you act and speak from the heart of your experience, you just speak truths aloud and act in measured, moderate, careful ways to communicate. The whole country hears. You will never walk alone.
Well done to everyone back British farming people without it your starving. Just let that sink in Ollie. Andrew Martin and so many others bloody well done oh yes to Robb and the Mullet. Well done for keeping things going
What an amazing rally you and your team put together I just hope the government retract this stupid inheritance tax it time all our farmers were treated better
Top bloke. Top team . Who do a top job. Total opposite to our government. The country is behind you all. Keep up the good work. I don't know where you get your energy from.
Two Tier kier fully understands as he stated yesterday from South America that his first job was on a farm. Which farmer employed him just to prove that he's not embellishing his CV? We do know that his father was a Toolmaker. Speaking of embellishing CV's, I see there has now been a specific set of questions asked by an MP on House of Commons notepaper requesting Racheal Reeves to answer to the house regarding her previous employers and job positions held as her CV LinkedIn appears to be somewhat exaggerated. If she has lied then she is gone.
Hi - like many I was there yesterday. Despite the slightly delayed start the whole event went well and as promised the venue was left tidier than when we arrived. My main concern with the arguments the farming community are putting forward is a lack of hard facts to prove the Treasury are wrong. As I see it the Treasury say it will affect c500 farms per annum based on evidence that 462 farms would have paid IHT in 2021/22. The CLA said 70,000 farms was a closer number but then said that's over time so therefore quite meaningless. A lot of people (farms) make statements that they would loose their farms or may not be able to pass them on. An emotional point which I fully get but they wouldn't necessarily loose the farm and they could pass it on BUT WITH CONSEQUENCES. Farming incomes and margins in many cases aren't enough to pay the IHT over 10 years. That may mean selling part, therefore less land, lower income, decrease in viability. Repeat the next time the land is passed on. A further point that the focus is very much on IHT. Far more play has to be made on BPR as that also plays a significant part in the overall tax situation. Then add in fertilizer tax, SFI, double cabs point, environmental regs etc etc. It is the culminative impact. I would have thought that between the NFU, CLA, a few of the key accountants and land agents (Savills, CERES etc) that a number of factual scenarios could be worked through. Say 20 in total ranging that a small hillside farm to a large agri business, factor in farmers ages, one or two parents etc etc. That will give the starting point on the financial impact. Someone then could predict the annual impact. Finally far more emphasis is needed on the amounts expected to be raised versus Government spend. The Treasury predict the revenue raised would be £230m in 2024/25 raising to £500m in 2026 onwards. Starmer/Reeves say this is needed to help fund the NHS. Lets put that into perspective. The annual NHS budget in 2024/25 is I believe £192Bn. That is £526m per day, £21.9m per hour. The IHT raised (£230m) funds the NHS in 2026 for 10.5 hours and eventually the £500m funds it for 22.8 hours. Less than one day to cause turmoil for the farming sector. Jeremy Clarkson was so right in his interview with Victoria Derbyshire. Government needs to start reducing the overheads. Any good leader such as James Dyson, Jim Ratcliffe, John Cauldwell and many more would be stripping out unnecessary costs, dramatically reducing the back office/admin, simplifying processes. I bet any good CEO would find at least 1% of waste in the first couple of weeks - that's £1.92Bn. I enjoyed your opening speech and thanks again for your efforts.
When tourist think of the uk they might know City names but they invision a rural country town or village that has farmers that have those odd stories of multi generation farming the land that they have, of their struggles and can with time laugh at them or laugh that their great grandfather got through hard times with their sheer will. You built and grew your farm with your farther like he did with his, and now cause of the government has put uncertainty that you could share those moments with your own kids.
You can run the country olly sort the bloody cesspit out, i know someone who smokes he has had a message off the doctor asking if they could send around to his home 2 people to test the air quality in his home, where he smokes ? They will give him £50 for the pleasure and these people wonder why the nhs has no money, 2 peoples wages and a £50 drink, i could tell them its going to be crap air quality, countrys falling to bits.
Stop patients paying for hospital tv but up national insurance take money off people who who work take ten pounds a week off poeple on benefits for the nhs
Every farmer should pay.times are changing and everyone needs to contribute.stop whinging and accept the inevitable.175 years without paying inheritance tax.this country could be rich if everyone contributes their fair share
What a fantastic opening speech Olly, it was an absolute credit to you, well done mate. no one can say that you didn't give that speech from the bottom of your heart, it was straight to the point and was just perfect to sum up what all those farmers were thinking.

Huge respect, not only in the rapid way you pulled this together, but the way you encouraged the crowds to be respectful in this dia time
What an amazing rally with no negative press
Show farmers in a positive light
Take nothing but photographs leave nothing but footprints, was alway associated with the countryside, you certainly bought the countryside to the city
I just hope this works, for ALL UK farmer's
It's frightening how far removed from industry this government appears to be
How can they still be in power after they totally miss sold their manifesto, if farmer's misrepresented their products the consumer would have the full weight of the law on their side
Well done on your heartfelt speech
Take care
Geoff

Your passion for the subject has shone through since this atrocious announcement, keep up the good work.
However, like another commenter has said don’t shoulder this alone, make sure to look after yourself, and not to burn yourself out.
God bless you and all of us farmers and our families. I’m so proud to be a farmer, I’ll be it a small American one. But I stand with you.
Congratulations to you and the team on organising this Olly. A mass attended, peaceful and positive event to highlight what the family farmers are now being challenged with.

I have the greatest respect for You Olly, Andrew, Clive, Martin and James with what You have done in such a short time. At the moment the Government seem to be sticking to their Guns but We have to keep up the momentum until they at least listen.
On behalf of Farmers everywhere Thank You
Heartbreaking. This cannot happen. This WILL NOT HAPPEN. We must all stand United This is the last straw. Enough is enough. A hungry man is a ANGRY MAN
You make us very proud Olly very proud
It was great to join the Farmers yesterday, the support was amazing. But let's not forgot, it's not just APR/BPR/IHT changes, it's also the WEF agenda 30 & 50 to reduce the amount of farming that will affect you amazing people!!
It's disgraceful how there are basically no articles in the news about yesterdays events in London.
More important things going on in the world 🌎
Well done Olly and the team.
Well said Ollyblogs.
Thank you Wishing You all Success we NEED You May The Knowledge of Your Hard Work Carry on For Future GENERATIONS The People NEED Food NOT People in Government that do NOT Support The Importance Of Our Survival
Good to the point speech sir. Much respct to you all ,gentleman and lady farmers. Pity the starmer was too afraid to be there and respond but maybe its better he wasnt there to marr the day with that nasal drone.
Amazing
Brilliant speech OLLLY
Simple speech, thereby brilliant.
Now you know,,,everyone supports our farmers!!!!
Well done Olly
Well done Olly for a great speech. Now it’s time for you to sit back and rest before the next stage.
Got to give him credit he does a good job when it effects him personally
Great speech olly let's hope there listing to all farmers and this will change for the better fingers crossed 🤞
The only thing a people united cant change is the weather!!!
Welll done Olly! I was there. Maybe next time do a 360 stage so all the people behind the lorry can see the speakers too.
Well said Ollie, but as always it takes a farmer to have and to speak common sense!
Formal compliance with the law is a relative value while the absolute value of the law resides in a few simple principles of justice. When the law contradicts these principles it is the moral duty of each of us to do all we can to reform it.
Olly, You are not a radical, you act and speak from the heart of your experience, you just speak truths aloud and act in measured, moderate, careful ways to communicate. The whole country hears. You will never walk alone.
Well done to everyone back British farming people without it your starving. Just let that sink in

What an amazing rally you and your team put together I just hope the government retract this stupid inheritance tax it time all our farmers were treated better
Top bloke.

Who do a top job. Total opposite to our government. The country is behind you all. Keep up the good work. I don't know where you get your energy from.
Oi Starmer hear the cheering thats what being popular sounds like

It is tge look in these men's eyes thst should strike fear into politicians hearts.

Hope king looking at this he all for this as well come king Charles fight the famers pull plug
You can run the country olly sort the bloody cesspit out, i know someone who smokes he has had a message off the doctor asking if they could send around to his home 2 people to test the air quality in his home, where he smokes ? They will give him £50 for the pleasure and these people wonder why the nhs has no money, 2 peoples wages and a £50 drink, i could tell them its going to be crap air quality, countrys falling to bits.
😢😢😢
Stop patients paying for hospital tv but up national insurance take money off people who who work take ten pounds a week off poeple on benefits for the nhs
Lost all credibility having Kemi Badenoch and Jeremy Clarkson speaking there
Every farmer should pay.times are changing and everyone needs to contribute.stop whinging and accept the inevitable.175 years without paying inheritance tax.this country could be rich if everyone contributes their fair share
Fair play to yous but I don’t think it achieved anything!
Sir keir too busy talking to world 🌎 leaders not numptys
Never new we had so many millionaire farming tax dodgers, we pay 40% and they don’t pay anything
