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.

If you fly the national flag in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 or Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 it is called “progressive nationalism”.

If you fly the Palestine 🇵🇸 flag in any of our major cities it’s called “solidarity” or “resistance”.

If you fly the Pride 🏳️‍🌈 flag on any of our streets it’s called “respecting human rights”.

If you fly the Ukraine 🇺🇦 flag it’s called “defending Western values”.

But if you fly the England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 flag it is called “racist” or “intimidating minorities”.

Only the English are treated this way.

Only the English are told to hide who they are.

Only the English are told not to celebrate their identity.

@GBNEWS Literally no one cares. Self centred attention seeker millionaires move back to the UK.

@WarMonitor3 And lying about his charity work, qualifications and world class running ability that no one had ever heard about. It’s a shame that he passed away of course but it’s not a simple case that can be blamed on the media.

@JSHKT20 The misuse and waste of public funds is astounding. I am currently in Germany working and it’s hotter here by at least 2 degrees and there is no drought or need for water conservation.

@SMO_VZ @Lord__Duke You know this is a war crime. Killing wounded unarmed soldiers is reprehensible no matter which side does it.

@ChezGuevara59 @WorldCupDailyy Shut up dickhead. The British retook an island where 99% want to remain a protectorate. Go back to your pointless insignificant dump of a country that can’t even defend itself and has the RAF to thank for its air defence.

@zarahussain999 Absolute traitor. 300 miles is not ‘near Argentina’. Their terrritorial waters are 12 miles from the coast. Get in the bin you absolute joke.

@damienslash Mainly because you are a prick. The Falklands are British by choice. You are a woke coward and pathetic.

‘When President Zelensky was attacked in the White House, the Prime Minister showed leadership and invited him to Downing Street. That was the right thing to do.’
