This farmer’s NSFW protest song is a hugely entertaining watch, just not for the reasons he was presumably hoping
As no-one anywhere needs reminding, thousands of farmers descended on Westminster this week to protest against new inheritance tax rules which are either threatening the future of our food supply or rich people paying their fair share, depending on your point of view.
Jeremy Clarkson was there and so was Nigel Farage – even Katie Hopkins turned up. It was that kind of do.
But none of that unholy trinity was as memorable as this particular farmer, who came up with a new take on The Combine Harvester, the 1970s novelty song which you probably remember sung by The Wurzels.
And it was a hugely entertaining watch, just not necessarily for the reasons he would have hoped.

And while not everyone said the same thing, quite a few of them did.

The regret in his eyes the moment he starts, knowing he has to see it through. Like the jokes I tell at work. https://t.co/sbArvDeijk
