Caller Tony thinks his son should be taught about dinosaurs instead of 'lots of politically charged subjects like climate change'.
James O'Brien asks him: 'What happened to the dinosaurs?'
Ian Hislop, "Farmers didn't pay inheritance tax at all, and now they're going to pay half of what everybody else pays.. And the limits they set on them are really pretty high"
"So it's meant to stop wealthy landowners buying lots of land in order to avoid taxes"
"People who come to mind.. Jeremy Clarkson who originally bought his farm in order to avoid paying any tax on it"
"Who has now become the champion of the small farmer who is probably not going to get hit by this, and is going to end up worse off for lots of other reasons"
Victroia Derbyshire, "Why are you here?"
Jeremy Clarkson, "I'm here to support farmers"
VD, "So it's not about you and the fact that you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?"
JC, "Classic BBC.. It's not the fact that I bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax"
VD, "You told the Sunday Times in 2021 that's why you bought it"
JC shakes his head
Ian Hislop, "It's not as though he doesn't have any history with the Beeb, she's quite lucky he didn't punch her in the face with cold food"
Right wingers stamping their feet saying
Call A General Election
Tell you what....

Six million people signed that petition
The two faces of England.
1. Coastal locations where WCs are currently dumping sh*t onto our beaches and into our seas. Red Xs.
2. Location of sewage dumping monitors that currently aren't working. Grey spanners.
Thanks to @watervole3 for the inspiration and graphic.
I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause us “temporary hardship...”
...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.
A word on @AllisonPearson free speech row and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. Today on @TheNewsAgents, we asked her to appear. She said ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
You gotta love a free speech warrior
Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax.
Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years.
This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

Kemi Badenoch's cheerleading of Donald Trump at PMQs shows the Conservatives are totally out of touch with our values
We should be standing up for human rights, the rule of law and international security - not rolling out the red carpet for Trump.
I appear to have touched a nerve of the ‘Editorial Director of the IEA’, based at 55 Tufton Street who has taken offence at my factual description of Trump as a climate change denying liar etc, and my warning it will embolden the hard right here..
My. Work. Is. Done.
