There's a huge disparity between the lengthy sentences for the Zoom call environmental activists and greedy landowners repeatedly descending on London to demand inheritance tax breaks for themselves
This is a really good and really important post on a critical issue. For too long, fascists and their apologists have been allowed to intimidate and threaten democracy, together with vulnerable layers of society and (ultimately) the working class movement under the pretext that they are exercising "free speech" while Left wing students and academics are hounded and witch hunted as an "academic taliban," for being "woke" and left wing journalists face prosecuting and prison through weaponised defamation laws (SLAPP) and the National Security Act. The Police Courts and Sentencing Act was a watershed here and let's not forget that Starmer (the human rights lawyer - what a joke!) wasn't even going to vote against it until the cops attact the Sarah Everard vigil on Clapham Common. Next came the refusal of a Bristol court to find protesters against the act guilty and then all Hell broke loose. Fascists can mobilise with impunity and landowning parasites can prepare to starve the cities as part of a Trump and Musk supported fascist coup in Britain in the near future but environmental protesters get heavier sentences than for rape and armed robbery. As in the US the judicial and criminal justice system has been weaponised even before the fascists come to power meaning that we no longer have the rule of law but rather the rule BY law which is tyranny.
However if a farmer sells land with planning permission the gain can be £300 k in the north to £1 mm per acre in the south, normal farmland is £10 -,15 k per acre .This can be capital gains tax free if they roll it over and buy , guess what , farmland.
No wonder the price is unaffordable to farmers. And this loophole wasn't touched.
I commented on this disparity of justice on a North Yorkshire farmers facebook post and was surprised how much agreement I got. Very little attempts at disagreement so maybe more people can see through the BS. I think the powers that be/justice system are ok with greed but cannot bear people who have ideals
Shall we compare hours worked ? Money risked , retirement date, suicide rate, same old AAV desperate for attention, this is why I need to remove FB off my phone, this just a echo chamber.

How come 95% of lecturers at universitys identify as left wing. Not sure who here is being hound, what utter garbage

Yes. The disparity is about class, not about race, as the Libertarian Fascist Right claim.
Hmmm a sad bunch. Check your privilege indeed!
