A Herefordshire farmer who is behind one of today's rallies in London disputing the government's recent budget has appeared on Sky News.

Martin Williams, a third-generation farmer from Herefordshire is one of four organisers of an ongoing event that will see hundreds, if not thousands join the peaceful demonstration to challenge the government's decision to increase inheritance tax on agricultural land.

Mr Williams discussed today's events, with interviewer Kay Burley asking if they can expect any tractors on the streets of the capital today. Mr Willaims said that if there were any tractors "it's not to do with us", adding they were not encouraging anyone to bring any machinery.

"I think today will be a peaceful march, and we're endeavoured to make it as quiet and respectful as possible. There are a lot of splinter groups and a lot of farmers outside that are very angry and that want to take more action.

"We don't want that, we would rather just have a dialogue. Most wars end around a table don't they?

"This isn't a war this is just a dialogue that we're asking for, and I think that's not only fair, we're only asking the government to listen to the figures".

When discussing what other options are available to the farmers, Mr Williams added that people have "nothing to lose, it's been taken from them and that's such a shame."

Mr Williams is one of the four organisers of the rally which will see farmers make a stand against the governmen'ts "spiteful" budget.

Farmers have turned out to the London event in their droves, with the march having to relocate to Whitehall after so many planned to attend the original Trafalgar Square protest.

Today's peaceful event will also see farmers and other representatives make a mass food bank donation, whilst hearing speakers from the worlds of agriculture, TV and politics show their support for family farms and wider businesses.
