Government and @UFUHQ take note

At what point is it time to just say F you.
We waste so much time talking and discussing things with “empty vessels” who lie to our faces.
Farmers, small business, processors… the list goes on.
London 19th of sept is a start but this shit isn’t going away. The knife is in.
@Minette_Batters Farmland values in Northern Ireland currently £25K-£30K/acre. At 25K, 40acres of bare land will exceed the £1M threshold. Virtually every farm in NI is therefore at risk from the IHT change. With a population of circa 2M, NI currently produces enough food for 10M! Go figure.
"We would like an urgent meeting with the Chancellor to explain why this would have such an impact on the fabric of our countryside"

"You've got it wrong" is the message that farmers at risk of losing their livelihoods without APR are sending to the Government. @JimShannonMP and @Jeremy_Hunt represent the cross-party agreement on this threat facing British agriculture
Such a wicked tax on farmers. And ask why Labour has done it?Because that’s important. Imagine a farm in a family for generations only worth 1m in actual land and a few farm buildings. Not a big farm. Turn over just enough to create a very modest living with all family members chipping in. Long hours. No holidays. Often teenage children help for free to keep businesses viable. Learning the trade. Something unexpected or terrible happens, and inheritance tax is due. That family can’t pay it without selling. The family becomes homeless. Sells for cheaper than worth because tax has to be paid. The generations of knowledge are lost. A family is homeless & a large faceless conglomerate buys it up…. Bill Gates is now the biggest land owner of farmland in USA! Worrying times ahead..
