Siege of London: 1,872 tractors

London today exemplifies the Global Migration Crisis, which is intensifying rapidly, moving irreversibly at tsunami speed across the planet. It can cause civil riots in major cities like London or New York or Paris. It can disrupt national economies indirectly and induce inflation and trigger energy wars worldwide.

In London, a video posted by News UK/British Pressroom on 10 December 2025 revealed the massive alliance of left and right forces seething with anger at PM Keir Starmer, ironically a former human rights advocate and criminal defense lawyer who made a 180-degree turn from left to right as soon as he assumed power. For him, advocacy was just a tool to gain power.

A massive 1,872 tractors from all over the country converged to lay siege to London — for the first time in history, an emerging existential war between farmers and government. At first glance, the dozens of tanks that appeared were presumably there to oppose the siege. But no.

To the surprise of all, they joined the siege, farmers and soldiers alike. In the evening, extreme right elements joined the siege, sealing a powerful multi-sectoral force. It was a rainbow coalition. The protest’s goal was not to dialogue but to demand.

The government was helpless to contain the siege. Concrete barriers and armored vans were easily pushed aside. PM Starmer’s threat of mass arrests was ignored by the violent crowd. The farmers demanded 400,000 pounds to cover their deficits from meager earnings of 30,000 pounds just to keep their land. Starmer’s battle cry was “to balance a broken ledger” — a ridiculous demand to collect from the starving farmers. Taxing hungry farmers was a blind, myopic government move.

Streamers read “Starmer resign. No farmers, no food.” The siege by mostly farmers, not urban activists, breached the M25 highway. The farmers defied the police lines. The Sector 15 defense lines were reportedly breached. The siege was unstoppable. Fireworks were used against police shields. Initial reports said 123 were arrested. In support of the London siege, two vans were reportedly burned in Belfast, Ireland.

The farmers’ ace card is food security, as they chanted “no farmers, no food.” Indeed, a food crisis will inevitably loom if the stand-off is protracted. Food security to stave off hunger is non-negotiable for the people. Starmer has a big problem. Groceries reportedly carried just two to three days of food supply. Warehouses were unable to distribute food because of the violent siege choking the streets.

A TikTok post that went viral with 7.3-million views in a matter of hours included a video of protesters destroying a police van trying to block the tractors, even as there was a news blackout in the British media.

By noon, still early in the siege, a broad conservative estimate revealed a staggering 82-million pounds in damage. Seven negotiators were hospitalized. Rumors of martial law angered the protestors all the more, daring the government to do it. The massive, unstoppable London siege will be remembered as the first-ever in British history.

Lesson learned. The people are the “ultimate government.” Politicians in power are mere servants of the people.
