Please spare a thought for James Dyson, the Brexit-voting billionaire who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax. Without people like him, farmland would be more affordable for actual farmers.
When I think of all the marches I’ve been on, some with 100,000s, that newspapers and TV have totally ignored, and then I see this one against inheritance tax, which will hit only the wealthiest, including those who bought land to dodge tax, and the wall-to-wall media coverage…
Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .
