A timeline of one man's cunning inheritance tax scheme.
2008: Buy a thousand acres in Oxfordshire. Tell The Times that dodging inheritance tax is the critical thing. Scheme live.
2009 to 2018: Do absolutely nothing. A villager farms it on contract. Flawless.
2019: The villager retires. Rather than hire another one, decide to farm a thousand acres yourself, having never grown anything.
Also 2019: Invite a film crew.
2020: Rain for nine weeks. Profit on a thousand acres: £144.
2021: Broadcast the £144 to the largest streaming platform on earth, thereby informing the entire planet that farmland makes nothing.
2021: Open a farm shop. Acquire a queue down a lane and the undivided attention of West Oxfordshire District Council.
2022: Restaurant refused. Enforcement notice. Six weeks to take a barn apart.
2023: Lose the appeal. Lose it again.
May 2024: Accidentally get English planning law rewritten. Lawyers name it Clarkson's Clause.
August 2024: Open a pub selling only British food. Sell your own sausage at 74p against 18p imported, and eat the difference on every plate.
October 2024: The Chancellor caps agricultural property relief at a million. Scheme dead.
November 2024: Stand on a platform in Westminster in front of thirteen thousand farmers, drawing maximum national attention to the exact tax break you were supposedly hiding behind.
July 2025: Go down with TB. First calf ever born on the farm destroyed, pregnant with twins. Gate padlocked.
23 December 2025: Government retreats. The threshold goes from one million to two and a half. Five million for a couple.
March 2026: Farm declared clear.
July 2026: Drive four hundred miles to Scotland and buy more cows.
Eighteen years.
Planning law changed. Agricultural degree applications climbing. Cited in the Commons more times than most ministers manage. Half the estates that were going to be caught by the tax are no longer caught by it.
He was accused of buying a farm to dodge inheritance tax, and then spent eighteen months getting the relief raised for everybody else's.
Worst tax dodger in British history.
Best thing to happen to British farming in fifty years.
@sharrond62@nationaltrust How many women looking at this spotted the danger of your toddler hanging on to the edge of the urinal while you’re changing the baby’s nappy. 🤦🏻♀️
@RameseSanders@AngelaJS0 We in the west are in the minority of countries who think it normal to sleep separately from our babies. India, Asia, South America, Africa all co-sleep. They probably just call it sleeping.
He had enough money to end poverty, world hunger and clean the oceans…but instead…he blocked out the sun, made GMO mosquitos and fake meat…and most notably, produced toxic ‘vaccines’ for the entire planet…so you really need to ask yourself why…
@BohemianAtmosp1 How has no one here suggested homeopathy? My dad has suffered from gout for 20 years but earlier this year had it when I was with him so I gave him a remedy matching his symptoms and it went in minutes. He’s never had it since.
A Scottish laird threw his sheep onto a beach in 1832 and left them to starve. They are still down there, still eating, and they have since evolved so far into the job that a green field would now poison them.
North Ronaldsay is the last island in Orkney before there is nothing. Three miles long, flat as a table, and windier than is strictly reasonable. The laird wanted the middle of it for cattle and crops, so out went the natives to the shore, which is a decision that reads perfectly well in an estate office and looks somewhat different when you are standing on shingle in February.
To keep them there, the islanders built a drystone dyke round the entire circumference of the island. Thirteen miles, six feet high, laid by hand, no mortar, still standing. It is a Grade A listed structure, so a wall put up to inconvenience sheep now enjoys the same legal protection as Edinburgh Castle.
Nobody expected the flock to make old bones.
They took up kelp.
There are two land mammals on this planet that live on seaweed. One is the marine iguana of the Galápagos, which has never been more than about nine feet from a film crew. The other is a small brown sheep in Orkney that nobody has heard of, working a beach in the dark.
And they did not just get by. They reorganised their entire lives around the tide. They sleep through high water and rise for the ebb, which is two hundred years of tide table written into an animal with no clock and no reason to care. Winter storms tear the kelp off the seabed and dump it up the shore, so while every other flock in Britain is going backwards on hay, the beach sheep are gaining condition in January on a crop nobody planted, watered, ploughed, sprayed or paid a penny for.
Seaweed carries almost no copper. So they evolved to hoover up every atom of it going, and that machinery has no off switch. Put one on ordinary pasture and it keeps taking copper on board at beach rates until the liver packs in. They are the most copper-sensitive mammals known to science, and a field of good Orkney grass is, to a North Ronaldsay, a slow poisoning with a lovely view.
Which leaves the arrangement completely inside out.
The wall was built to keep the sheep off the good ground.
The wall is the only thing keeping them alive.
About 2,500 of them, owned communally by a dozen or so islanders, descended from animals that were on that shore before the Vikings arrived and formed opinions about it. Every winter knocks a few more sections of dyke down. Every summer a handful of people put a few back up. Only one of those lines is heading the right way.
The kelp industry the wall was built to replace collapsed and is gone. The laird is gone. The crops are gone. Most of the islanders are gone.
The sheep he sentenced to death are out there tonight, waiting on the tide, farming the only ground in Britain that gets delivered twice a day by the sea.
I asked Professor Angus Dalgleish (Professor of Oncology at St. George's University of London and one of the world's leading cancer immunologists) whether he believed the COVID vaccine was creating turbo cancers. He said yes, and that after reviewing over 400 publications on the subject the mechanisms are so numerous it's surprising there aren't more cases than we're already seeing.
He walked me through several of them. The vaccine suppresses T-cell response and switches the antibody system into a tolerant state, essentially converting the body into a condition similar to transplant readiness, where it won't reject a foreign organ and won't reject a cancer. It can integrate into the genome next to oncogenes. The Pfizer vaccine contains SV40, a known oncogene. It interferes with dozens of metabolic and signaling pathways that, when overstimulated, drive cancer and don't switch off.
The mechanism that concerns him most is the vaccine's ability to bind and silence tumor suppressor genes like p53 and BRCA. If someone already carries a natural mutation in one of those genes, their cancer arrives 20 or 30 years earlier than it otherwise would have. Interfere with more than two or three of these pathways simultaneously and you pull it forward even further, and when the cancer does arrive, the brakes are gone.
In nearly 40 years he said he's never seen anything like the presentations he's seeing now.
He said we should ban all mRNA vaccines, because they aren't vaccines, they're gene therapies, and giving them to children can interfere with their genome for the rest of their lives. He called allowing these products to go into young people, when we knew none of them were at risk of dying, criminal medical negligence and the crime of the century.
@debbiea74109252@A1an_M People have been making bread for centuries without bread makers. Mine turns out terribly sometimes but still tastes better than shop bread.
This one is for the proper geography nerds. I placed my two walking poles 15 metres apart on a Scottish mountain (Ben Lui) yesterday to illustrate one of the best geography quirks that Scotland has.

Jeremy Clarkson has never pretended to be anything other than exactly what he is
Brutally honest. No oil painting. A pot belly, a lifelong smoker, a drinker. Not exactly the modern alpha male or is he?
And somehow that is the whole point
I have watched him for most of my life
First as a motoring journalist who could make you want a car you would never own and never need
Then as something bigger
The loudest, funniest, most unfiltered mouthpiece the ordinary person ever had
A man who said the thing everyone was thinking while the rest of television tiptoed around it
From Top Gear he built something that should not have worked
Three middle aged men, The Stig, a track and a chemistry you cannot manufacture
James May the patient one
Richard Hammond the brave one
And Clarkson the force of nature dragging both of them into chaos and somehow back out again
When it all fell apart at the BBC he could have disappeared
The fracas was not his finest hour and he never pretended it was
He owned it, apologized and carried on
No reinvention, no groveling tour, no carefully managed comeback
He just kept being himself and let the work speak
The move to Amazon and The Grand Tour proved something I think a lot of people missed
The format was never the magic
The men were
You can take three friends out of a studio and drop them anywhere on earth and the loyalty between them travels with them
But it is Clarkson's Farm where the whole picture finally comes into focus
Here is a man with nothing left to prove walking into a field he barely understands and refusing to fake competence he does not have
He has run that farm at break even and then at an outright loss in full public view
No editing it into a success story
No pretending the numbers work when they do not
His farm manager hands him one brutal truth after another and he sits there and takes it
A whole season swallowed by drought even after he leaned into robotics and the most advanced farming money could buy
Technology was supposed to be the answer and the weather did not care
He showed that too
Most people would have cut it
And through all of it he has done something quietly remarkable
He has dragged the plight of the British farmer into the light
The paperwork, the council, the margins that vanish, the weather that ruins a year of work in a week
People who had never thought about where their food comes from suddenly cared because he made them care
And then there is the part nobody warned me about
Men who raise animals for meat and still love them
Who name them, worry about them, sit with them
Who treat them with respect and dignity right up to the moment they cannot keep them
And feel the full weight of sending them off
He does not hide that
He lets the camera sit in the discomfort of it
The grief of a man who knows the deal he made and still finds it hard
That is not weakness
That is honesty most people are far too afraid to show
We live in an age that rewards the polished, the curated, the carefully built personal brand
And here is a scruffy, swearing, chain smoking farmer who has done the opposite of all of it and won
He stayed exactly who he was while the world begged him to become a product
That is the whole secret
There is no act
There never was
And that is exactly why we keep watching
Praying for a full recovery mate, looking forward to another season of Clarkson's Farms!
@KennyCarmody Thank you for writing what I feel. The wholesale coercion is as frightening as the silence. They could have quietly stopped administering it but people are still getting it and believing they need it.
The most important public health finding of the last six years is not about the virus.
It is not about the vaccines.
It is about the simultaneous, coordinated, six-year silence of every major government on earth on the question of who was harmed and whether they matter.
Full piece on Substack. Read it and share it with someone who needs to.
If you, or someone you love, has
cancer,
B12 deficiency,
kidney dialysis
or a stent
you need to know they they must now avoid ALL white flour.
They also need to check wholemeal and even gluten free products which also contain folic acid.
Sign this petition to stop it being mandated in flour:

@KennyCarmody The folk who create and are protected by institutions were in my experience far more likely to comply than those who work for them. I met lots of tradespeople, shop assistants and carers who could see through the scam.
The world's green leaf area—visible from space—has increased by around 5.5 million square kilometres in just over two decades.
This is a 5% global increase, equivalent to adding an entire Amazon Rainforest to the planet since 2000. NASA satellite research reveals this extra leaf cover also acts as its own natural air conditioner. At least 30% of the greened areas are experiencing measurable cooling due to the way plants manage water vapor and air turbulence.
Some early models predicted the growth might slow, but even in intensively farmed lands, food production (grains, vegetables and fruits) jumped by 35-40%. Around 70% of this regeneration is attributed to increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂), rising from 370 ppm to 426 ppm between 2000 and 2026.
As this expanding patina of green leaf cover and real-world cooling data forced their way into the climate equation, the extreme high-end models have begun to unravel. Mainstream projections have steadily downgraded the narrative, shifting away from catastrophic 5-degree predictions toward a far lower ceiling.
The planet is fighting back with its own biological feedback loop.
I didn’t even know what to say . This was a stranger I had never met, someone I only sold a laptop to.
We exchanged a few emails after that. Nothing deep, just occasional updates about life and how things were going.
Then one day, the messages stopped. Months later, I got another email from a different address.
It was him again. He said he had gotten a new job, moved cities, and was doing much better.
Attached was a photo of my old letter printed and framed on his desk. He said it reminded him that even when things feel finished, they are not always final.
I sold a laptop expecting nothing to come from it after the money. But somehow, a file I thought was gone ended up reaching someone at exactly the right moment…The Universe has a way of making things better 😊
ARLA WON -- YOU LOST - BOVAER SOON ALL MILK
After the Arla - DMK takeover last week a Huge New Milk Supply Monolith has been Formed.
This means Bovaer‑milk will quietly become the default “standard milk”, while organic milk becomes scarcer and more expensive.
AND YOU WILL NOT BE INFORMED ON LABELS
Why this matters now with the Arla–DMK merger:
This is where things get strategically interesting.
1. Arla is already the most aggressive adopter of Bovaer
They defended it publicly, continued trials, and positioned it as central to their climate strategy.
This means the merged entity is WILL scale Bovaer faster, not slower.
2. DMK brings Germany — a huge dairy market — into the equation
The merger forces a harmonised methane strategy, and Bovaer is the only ready‑to‑deploy tool.
CONSUMERS: Exoect Organic Milk to be Priced out of the Market, not just UK, not just EU, but there will be plans through those financially involved, like Bill Gates, to get BOVAER in Animal Feeds as the de facto position.
And before Mr Gates Operatives on X start to argue:
The Company holding Bovaer Trademarks is DSM-Firmenich -- The Gates Foundation holds extensive shareholdings in this Company.
From Scottish Parliamentary Briefing Papers re Nicola Sturgeon's involvement...
"There also seems to be some information hidden from public view, such as DSM-Firmenich denying any connection with Bill Gates, only for us to discover Bill Gates has purchased 1m shares in the Company, with the major investor behind the scheme, Black Rock"
There will also be price differentiation between Bovaer Milk and Non-Bovaer.
OF COURSE TEN YEARS FROM NOW THERE WILL BE ZERO CHOICE - JUST BOVAER.
For the Arla–DMK giant, this means:
They will push Bovaer harder than ever — because climate targets demand it.
They must avoid another consumer revolt — because the merged brand is too big to hide.
They will likely invest heavily in “green dairy” PR, transparency dashboards, and retailer‑aligned messaging.
Any future health concerns (even unfounded ones) will hit twice as hard because of their scale.
LACK OF CHOICE, LACK OF TRANSPARENCY, PUBLIC REJECTION
We’re sleepwalking into a food system where the public has no real choice at all.
Supermarkets are quietly shifting to “low‑methane milk” using feed additives like Bovaer — and most people don’t even know it’s happening.
There’s no clear labelling.
There’s no public documentation.
There’s no way for families to choose milk without these additives unless they pay organic prices or hunt down tiny local suppliers.
And here’s the truth nobody in the industry wants to say out loud:
Even if every analysis says “no harm”, even if regulators approve it, even if the science is solid…
The public still won’t want it if they feel tricked.
People want transparency.
People want choice.
People want to know what’s going into the food chain — not find out years later through a press release.
This isn’t anti‑science. This isn’t anti‑farmer.
This is about trust.
If the industry keeps rolling out feed additives without open discussion, clear labelling, or public consent, they’re going to trigger a backlash far bigger than they expect.
Choice matters. Transparency matters. Trust matters.
And right now, the public is getting none of them.
MANY FARMERS DO NOT WANT CHEMICALS OF ANY KIND PUT INTO ANIMAN FEED AND THEN INTO THE HUMAN FOOD CHAIN..
Because. It. Is. Insane...
Every obedience experiment in history had the same overlooked finding.
Not everyone complied.
In Milgram’s lab, 35% refused to deliver the final shock. In Asch’s line experiments, 25% never conformed, not once, across any trial. In Zimbardo’s prison, at least one guard refused to dehumanize. One prisoner demanded a lawyer instead of a doctor and broke the psychological frame entirely.
We spent decades studying the ones who obeyed.
We barely asked what made the others different.
That question matters more now than it ever has.
The resisters in the COVID era were not difficult to find. Physicians who filed exemptions and lost their licenses. Nurses who walked away from careers rather than mandate patients into decisions they hadn’t genuinely chosen. Scientists who published contrary data knowing what it would cost them. Parents who stood alone at school board meetings. Ordinary people who simply said, quietly, without drama , no.
What made them different?
Research consistently identifies a cluster of factors. Not personality traits you either have or don’t. Situational and cognitive patterns that can be cultivated.
First: prior reflection on authority. The resisters had usually thought, before the crisis, about the limits of institutional trust. They weren’t cynics. They were people who had already asked the question “under what conditions would I refuse?” before anyone was asking them to comply.
Second: a concrete reference point outside the consensus. A value, a principle, an oath, a relationship that existed independently of the institutional structure demanding compliance. Something the system couldn’t reach.
Third: at least one other person. Milgram found that a single dissenting confederate reduced compliance dramatically. The resisters rarely stood entirely alone. They found each other. Sustained each other. Gave each other permission.
Fourth: the willingness to tolerate social pain. Not immunity to it. Tolerance of it. They felt the pressure. They felt the exclusion. They chose the discomfort of integrity over the comfort of belonging.
None of this is innate. All of it is learnable.
The most important thing Milgram, Asch, and Zimbardo taught us is not how fragile conscience is.
It’s that conscience can hold, if you’ve trained it, named its limits, and found even one other person willing to hold theirs beside you.
Build that now. Because the experiment is always running.
Until then stay humble.
