@IrvineWelsh@MartinKnight_ But theyre not on the money. Its a land grab. Theres no money unless the farm is sold so where are people getting the money from to pay it? By selling the farms? Great logic. Stop spending 8million a day housing illegals in hotels would be a start! 🤡
There are a lot of very stupid things being said on the family farming tax, by people who are proving themselves to be entirely ignorant of British agriculture.
The farm may be worth millions, but it's worth NOTHING until it's sold. So when the farm is passed down, and this huge tax bill arrives - what is the family supposed to do? They don't have hundreds of thousands of pounds sitting in the bank...
Farming is not a lucrative career. It does not make much money. The land is valuable, but the returns are not.
Running a farm is bloody expensive - profits are minuscule in comparison to the value of the actual farm.
This is really not a complicated principle, yet I see idiots parroting utter nonsense.
Labour's farming tax will force thousands of farming families to sell the farm to pay the inheritance tax bill. Farms that have been in those families for generations - if it were not for this tax, they would never dream of selling.
It's really that simple, and it will change British farming forever.
This is a tax drawn up by people who have NO understanding of agriculture. There are three farming MPs in Parliament, I am one of them...
Trust me when I say this - Labour does NOT understanding farming. It would be laughable if they were not running the damn country.
I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of Labour MPs believe that potatoes grow on trees. These are urban people who think that a farm is a family day out, an opportunity to feed the sheep and ride the tractor.
Clueless. On farming, and so much else.
I will be standing alongside thousands of other British farmers tomorrow. We must make our voices heard.
Reeves must reverse her cruel assault on British family farms. Either she does it now, or we'll do it in 2029.
Dog-Free Zones may soon be implemented across Wales for the purpose of tackling racism.
Apparently, some minority groups feel threatened, unsafe or uncomfortable around dogs due to religious beliefs.
I don’t feel safe with Muslims hanging out in large groups in parks. Can we ban those, too?
@Kasandroid@Gsy_Girl@Lamar_001 @iamnot_elon I pay £10 a month for a sim only with unlimited data, 5000minutes and 10k texts. Given i use whatsapp for most communication. It makes elons 10x more expensive..but id consider it to be able to have connectivity anywhere.
Putin today signed a decree offering sanctuary for foreigners wishing to escape “Western liberal ideals”.
Putin is offering Westerners a chance to escape the neoliberal globalist West, and seek safe haven in Russia with their “traditional spiritual and moral values”.
