Iirc they parked on his driveway and blockedthe entrance, he asked them to move it, they where dicks about it and told him to fuck off, called cops who didn't help (not clear why), finally took matters in his own hands since asking and going through proper channels failed him.
“Not clear why” because cops. Cops don’t help. “Helping” is not what they do. They are not helpful, nor are they trained or instructed to be, nor are they in any way legally required to be (at least in the US, and I acknowledge this event was UK, and if you also think policing is that much different there in its heart of hearts then I have a bridge to sell you).
One of them punched the farmer, twice. Apparently one of them was so drunk that before hitching a ride with the friend who owned that car, he thought it was a good idea to walk 52 miles back home.
Comment didn't say he walked 52 miles, it said he thought it would be a good idea. I think that means the guy was about to start walking and then changed his mind and hitched a ride.

#8 The teacher (presumably the guy looking at his phone in the background) is at fault here for neglecting his class. Also that press should be screwed down to the bench, and they have the wrong saw.
Yep - I've cut wood with a hacksaw many times. The biggest worry is that the heavy press would fall off (who the fuck buys a bench press for a shop and doesn't affix it).
She almost figured it out. I think if the video were a bit longer we would have seen her finally grasp that she needs to angle the saw down (or up, depending on your perspective). A secured bench vise would have helped out quite a bit.
It's amazing how many times I've had to explain to people that cows are not harmless. They're huge and they have a fast roundhouse that's like getting hit with a baseball bat. At least horses can only kick backwards. Cows can get you from almost any angle.
Used to work in Large Animal Veterinary Medical Devices as support. Know what we didn't cover, among other things? Horse kicks, because it fucking pulverized the inside of a mobile X-Ray panel and completely scrapped it. Horses are beautiful, wonderful, dumb animals, but ho boy will that back kick FUCK your month up.

In a rural area you could be waiting for several hours until someone can respond, if there is anyone available to respond. Should be just be held prisoner by some asshole who refused to move his vehicle from private property and then threatened the landowner?
Addressing the threat means considering all solutions available in the moment. Turning the other cheek frequently results in that one being slapped as well - that’s not acceptable. Escalation, if you know what you’re doing, means you have a comfortable fore knowledge of the outcome. You either escalate, or defer.

He didn't "remove it" he deliberately destroyed it. This wasn't someone doing something mechanically necessary. It was an angry action.

People kept ignoring the no trespassing- it will happen again

Back in civilization, people report the trespass to the police and/or call a towing company.

In a rural area you could be waiting for several hours until someone can respond, if there is anyone available to respond. Should be just be held prisoner by some asshole who refused to move his vehicle from private property and then threatened the landowner?

In real civilization, people respect other people's property and don't make stupid threats

Maybe if they stopped recruiting Lil Bitches who are afraid of paperwork they'd have trusted the police with such matters.

The dude with no sorry refused to move the car and threatened the farmer.

Ah yes. When you feel threatened by someone, the sensible reaction is to provoke them even more. Surely that'll reduce the threat to you.

tl:dr
Some local youth blocked his driveway, drank 7 bottles of lager, and punched the farmer twice after being asked nicely to move away.
Farmer moved his vehicle himself with a forklift, was found not guilty with overwhelming community support.

Blocking the driveway. You can move it so it’s not an impediment.
