It's distancing language; it's meant to marginalise and 'other' the target group in question.
...but you knew that.

'these people' 'them people'.
It's ignorant at best and something nastier in all likelihood.
Imagine being on benefit and being 'advised' by that feller above. FFS.
Sounds like @Charro has a realistic take on the situation.
Everyone claiming benefits are not sincere.
Naive of you to assume that really but sweet in a way I suppose.
Help the genuine applicants and get the wasters off the dole and into some sort of activity that benefits society, the taxpayers and the individual themselves even if they don't appreciate it.

I dont think I'm either. Not my style.
Could you sum up your style so we have more of a feel of your forum flavour?

It depends on what one calls a small farmer mate. A small industrial farm would be about 100 acres, quite a bit more if the land's unproductive (eg hill farm), so that would be a mil straight away without adding on a house, equipment and livestock and any diversified assets therein, as it's not only farms that are being hit with this, small/medium business relief has been adjusted too during the budget. I believe a smallholder would have to be over 13 acres to qualify, and would probably max out at circa 50 acres, so providing the home was modest with no diversification, should be okay, although, as with income tax bands, fiscal drag will apply, and probably catch up with them fairly soon. It's the smallholder's claims (where in the main a few small subsidies are claimed and the work is all subbed out) that allow the government to claim that most 'farms' will be unaffected by the legislation.Believe tennant farmers manage about a third of farmland who I guess would only be indirectly affected by this.
Supporting the tenanted sector in England – The Farming Blog
Tenant farmers are at the heart of the rural economy, managing a third of all farmland in England. To meet our food security and environmental objectives, we must make sure that all farmers, including tenant farmers, can access our schemesdefrafarming.blog.gov.uk
Not sure how much smaller scale farmers will be affected @orchard might be able to say. A lot of larger farms will manage smaller farms as well with short term leases.
The very worst farmers I have known are the big land owners. Outrageous stories of greed and selfishness. They’re a law unto themselves.
Let’s not pretend anyone suddenly cares about farmers btw. Was the same with fishermen. They’re simply being used by anti labour\ government groups and individuals.
It's a complex issue to be sure, with lots of nuance, but in my opinion it will (by design) facilitate the corporate colonisation of our countryside, and the government are banking on resentment and crab-in-a-bucket-like attitude to carry through this destructive and unjust policy.
You're right about the far right being all over this, just check out Ash Sarkar's Youtube of last week's rally for Novara Media. She did a really good job as a journalist interviewing farmers but was targeted by Reform(?) members trying to intimidate and discredit her.
Imagine "lending" your vote to someone and then seeing them do that.
Then imagine watching it and saying to yourself, "that subservient feline geriatric has got my vote."
