@BrownPatch@ediz1975 It’s a one way with a hard shoulder that runs out. Nobody (but the very worst of drivers) would be coming the other way. The safest place is most definitely not far into the kerb/gutter/sidewalk/trottier. It’s about 1 mtr (3ft) away from the usable road edge.
@JWLevitt Just share the roads and stop being divisive- you’re adding to the problem. Cyclists get angry because if they hit me as a runner, it’s likely they’ll be far more injured than I would be, or they have to move into the path of a car, and we know who gets more injured then.
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.
BREAKING :
The UN accuses Israel of committing EXTERMINATION in Gaza.
EXTERMINATION.
Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.

OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.
I’ve decided that I’ll only feature videos of Farage in my content with voice modification, like the BBC did with Sinn Fein in the 90s, to avoid giving them the oxygen of publicity or an illusion of credibility.
@jeremycorbyn Sorry to disappoint but they’re across most public sector systems, including HMRC, they already have access to most UK .gov transactions.
@BBCWalesNews Replacing staff with a c£20,000 system? Why not simply educate the people working there how to credibly answer customers queries, improving their skill levels as well?
Fuel prices are still rising… so what can the government do?
Our Head of Campaigns spoke to GB News about a simple idea: people need real transport options.

@MentalHealthCop Has been standard in French cities for many years, albeit the research might be more recent? It’s a great idea, utilising it you quickly realise how little risk it causes. It would of course be mostly left turns in the UK. Imagine how the DT and readership would cope with it 😀
@paulpowlesland Good result, what a waste of time and money all around. And what if you’d been on a uni cycle? Is it illegal to ride one of them in London?
@JonathanPieNews Get @realrossnoble to present him one of those foil mint cream biscuits on a lanyard, and tell him he’s got one, he’ll be non the wiser. We all might get a few days of rest from his global omnipresent ego.
