@UK_Needs_Reform Stand with the landowners? What about those that own thousands of acres and only get dirt on their wellies when they go shooting? Should they avoid the tax as well? You like doffing you cap to the landed?
Struggling to get motivated today. I just want to curl up under an electric blanket and go back to sleep. But the animals are relying on me for food and water. I promised to help a friend later on, he said he'd pay me and I have bills to pay. I am so lucky to be a "rich" farmer.

@PhilipOnions And I've got to get up to work my shitty job to pay a mortgage that'll probably never get paid off. No one is staying in bed. Plenty of people have essential jobs, get that chip off your shoulder.
Is someone forcing these farmers to farm? Around here the land rent is £165 per acre. The farmers renting it can make it work, if you own it you're that far up already. If they don't want to farm it let someone else have a go.
@Scarborough_GB Clarkson has proved how hard farming is. If you manage 1000 acres with no experience while filming other TV shows and a bullish (although likable) 20 something year old.
I'd hope any job would show the same, but we shouldn't be surprised they make no money on that show.
@terrychristian Talking to a friend the other day, he worked at a private school down Oxford way for a couple of years. For the year 8 play they did the greatest showman. Budget 20k, they even got elephants in.
@ThrimbyFarms How many families has he stopped from owning a farm? Instead he has 270 employees. How many children has he stopped inheriting. He's a hypocrite.
@Ajcts@hknormington@Englishomestead@MarinaPurkiss Reforms policies have been shown to benefit those earning over 90k a year. But reading your comments you obviously think that wage what should be considered normal.
