A farmer dies in April 2026.

His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.

The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.

On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.

In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.

The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.

The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.

A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.

The Treasury collects £140,000.

The land never produces British food again.

Deepak Chopra emailed Jeffrey Epstein in 2017 with just two lines:

"God is a construct Cute girls are real"

The man built a billion-dollar brand on spiritual enlightenment and this is how he talks to a convicted sex offender...

Just a reminder. While #Mandelson enjoys tax payers' money for a job which comes with a luxury lifestyle, I was 'investigated' for 13 months, kept from promotion, and excluded by @UKLabour for liking tweets by @Glinner and expressing my view that only women can have a cervix...

@HBarthomlew @TheCriticMag @jo_bartosch There's massive division in Feminism just btw. It got us our rights! Many, many feminists are at the front of the fight against what you're describing.

"Je respecte la cour et la décision du verdict", a déclaré Gisèle Pelicot à l'issue du procès des viols de Mazan. "J'ai confiance à présent en notre capacité à saisir collectivement un avenir dans lequel chacun, femmes et hommes, puisse vivre en harmonie, dans le respect et la compréhension mutuelle", a-t-elle ajouté #AFPVertical ⤵️

Grateful to this columnist for making the clearest articulation yet that male feelings are more important than female safety

[SurrogacyConcern @SurrogConcern]

Our founder, Helen Gibson, is quoted in this excellent article by @DalgetySusan in @TheScotsman today, which calls for a ban on surrogacy.

“Babies should not be for sale. Women are not ‘gestational carriers’, surrogacy is a feminist issue”.

Hamas murdered this woman

Her name is Eden Zecharya

She was kidnapped by Hamas

Her body was found today

Some of you never called for the release of this woman from captivity - and whatever it was she endured whilst there

On stalled progress and the multiple threats to women's equality - from the right, from the left, and from the internalised misogyny that lives in all of us.

Women in revolt achieved so much. Why are decades of progress now being reversed? | Sonia Sodha https://t.co/oA02HGxKaE

Hamas made the ultimate revenge porn on October 7 so why the silence and doubt about their rape of Israeli women? My ⁦@thetimes⁩ column. https://t.co/6WzAHE47Lv

The great AS Byatt has died. She wrote this, inspired by King Lear, about her little boy, who was killed by a drunk driver. I first saw it when my own yellow-haired little boy had cancer. Few writers can reach you when you are feeling unreachable. She was extraordinary.

[Dr. Ann Olivarius @AnnOlivarius]

He followed her, dragged her into an alley, raped her and then stamped her to death, literally.

He had followed 5 other women that night. And he was out on license, that night.

How little, exactly, are women's lives worth, in the criminal justice system?

In a rare public display of discontent with the Hamas regime, thousands of Gazans protested difficult living conditions and call for the removal of Hamas from power. Hamas security officers used force, including live fire, to disperse the protests.

The porn industry represents one part of a massive propaganda arm that is sexualizing, normalizing, & desensitizing violence against women.

Nearly 6 billion hours of porn were consumed last year. Porn gets more yearly watch hours than Hollywood, Netflix, and Viacom holdings combined.

The combined total of the world’s top 3 porn sites has over 5.8 billion site visits per month. 88% of porn videos contain violence against women which translates to 5.1 billion of those visits per month.

What are young girls to make of this staggering number??? 5.1 BILLION hours of violence against women being consumed by men for their sexual gratification? What must these men think of us??? Do the comments they leave under these videos represent their true views of us???
