Coventry shoppers were surprised by Minions on tractors at Tesco, part of a farmers’ protest highlighting food security issues.
Four giant tractors rolled in, one even had a crane. Three big yellow Minions were riding along. People quickly grabbed their phones to snap pictures.
Some locals recognized the tractors. They’re part of a charity Christmas event that visits Coventry and Nuneaton. But this time, it was serious.
Banners on the tractors read, “No farmers, no food.” This was a peaceful protest by local farmers. They wanted to raise awareness about food security.
The protest was part of a national movement. Farmers are concerned about government changes to inheritance tax. These changes could really hurt them.
Some farmers even drove their tractors to London to protest outside Parliament. It’s a big deal for the farming community.
