Axe-wielders will end up doing porridge for a couple of years if they try that. Also, "the enemy" has tasers. Lots of them. Know how to use them too. This could be a great outcome! Not for Reclaim but for the rest of the UK.Laurence Fox, leader of the Reclaim Party says

Buy yourself an axe, and greet the pigs at the door with it if they come knocking.
The police are your enemy.

Yes, he's been convicted, on 34 counts; what hasn't happened yet is sentencing.

Worth noting that climate protestors got 5 years for blocking traffic. So that's the going rate.

People missed flights, medical appointments and exams. Two lorries collided, and a police motorcyclist came off his bike during one of the protests on 9 November 2022 while trying to bring traffic to a halt in a “rolling road block”.
Prosecutors alleged the protests led to an economic cost of at least £765,000, while the cost to the Metropolitan Police was put at more than £1.1m.
Whilst I think the sentences were too harsh, describing what they did as just "blocking traffic" is to understate it.

My point is that it depends on exactly what 'it' is. Are the farmers planning to block the M25 for four days?Why will it be any different if the farmers do it?
Good pointHope they are not using red diesel for that.
