The protestors want to call it "the tractor tax" because calling it "the inheritance tax protest" would turn off public opinion. The tractors coming into London today, in fact, pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ. Exempt from all.

That's the Tory dream. A hollowed out state, privatised everything, minimal regulation, and everyone just sinks or swims. Of course, the system would be rigged so the Tories won't even have to swim. They'll be living it up on their private yachts.
