Farmers blockade Felixstowe port to protest state of industry

A blockade's been taking place through the night at Felixstowe port.

Farmers from across Suffolk - and beyond - are staging a demo to highlight issues they say are making their industry unsustainable.

Changes to inheritance tax and lower standard imports undercutting their prices are two of the main topics they want to raise according to the East Anglia Farmers Unite Facebook group.

The protest is one of a series across the UK at ports and supermarket distribution centres.

Felixstowe organisers say they've made a decision to scale back their presence to just one of the port's gates for public safety on the roads, they also say they've been allowing staff from the docks to leave after their shifts and permitted a medical container to exit.
