AI fantasy about tractors in Briton

This looks to be a definitely a very scary situation. I hope they come to their senses and do the right thing.
I have very dear friends in the UK, I truly hate to hear of them having to worry.
I would not be surprised to hear one of them say, "Retiring and moving to Spain"

He's been playing with the idea for sometime now and he and his wife make friends easily and he's had
2 successful businesses.
He doesn't live extravagant. But as much as he loves Spain I could see him toying with the idea more seriously. He would be
doing his research and homework, believe me. Not saying he is doing it, but sure wouldn't surprise me. He's not
been with happy with some changes occurring, the same way it feels all over the world really.

So, did that not happen there then? Is it a bogus made up video?

From AI :

The video describes an imagined or fictionalized scenario of a major farmer protest in London, highlighting a conflict between the farmers and the government over tax policies [01:04]. It frames the protest as a desperate "siege" against a government that has allegedly abandoned the working farmer, leading to widespread chaos and supply chain failure [07:53]. The commentary frequently criticizes the Labour party's financial policies, stating they would rather see "the shelves empty than admit they miscalculated the resolve of the rural working class" [13:05].

those were after the news article on Wikipedia about the one in UK. In fact there were several in UK in different cities from what the main article

November​

On 19 November, thousands of farmers gathered on Parliament Square in London to protest against the planned agricultural inheritance taxation policies. The National Farmers' Union (NFU), through its president, Tom Bradshaw, promised sustained protest activities until their concerns were adequately addressed. The organisation characterised the tax measure as having "disastrous human impacts" on farming communities.[1]

Arrests at farmers' central London tractor protest

Several arrests were made as farmers drove tractors into central London for a Budget day protest over plans to put inheritance tax on farm businesses worth more than £1m.

More than a dozen tractors could be seen parked outside Parliament on Wednesday morning, with rush-hour traffic brought to a standstill and farmers repeatedly sounding the tractor horns while police stood watching.

David Gunn, an arable farmer and agricultural contractor from near Sevenoaks in Kent, said: "Inheritance tax is going to cripple the farmers, the small family farmers."

A government spokesperson said: "We are backing farmers with the largest nature‑friendly budget in history with over £2.7bn a year to grow their businesses."

In Wednesday's budget the chancellor announced spouses would be able to transfer any of their £1m allowance before inheritance tax kicks in between partners.

So if one partner dies and only uses part of their allowance, the surviving partner could have an allowance of more than £1m.
