I'm campaigning to get out a big anti-Farage vote in the local elections. I can't do this on my own. We need lots of people to be campaigning.
Let's burst Farage's toxic bubble by campaigning and voting.
Please use the #Vote4Democracy tag, and share the message as far and as fast as possible.

You have to be richer than almost everyone in the country to ever pay inheritance tax. Even if you own a farm.
And if you do own a farm, and are rich enough to pay inheritance tax on it, you still get a massive discount.
Why are we giving this protest airtime?
