@Dazzle229 Perhaps you might explain this to Farmers and their representatives? Your idea of 'problem solved would not, I suggest, accord with their views.

When I was younger I considered being a socialist, but sadly I was never wealthy enough to proceed with the idea.

Of course it does. You clearly have access to the books from the farm and, unlike Rachel from Accounts, can actually understand them.

@tryingmybest9819 'It's only likely to affect 500 farmers a year according to the treasury?' The last four words effectively answer that bit of your comment. As to the price rise. Ever heard of supply & demand? Should there be less food the price of what there is will, inevitably, rise. Just like Rachel from Accounts, I suspect that you are not an economist.

@plagiarisedwords You don't seem to understand the difference between 'poor' and 'cash poor.' Perhaps, like Rachel from Accounts, you have no practical understanding of economics, or perhaps you are simply one of the 'My Party, right or wrong' group.

@tryingmybest9819 The NFU and the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) have estimated up to 70,000 farms could be affected. Both are specialists in the economics of farming. Which is, I suspect, rather more than the Treasury or Rachel from Accounts are. When individuals as diverse as Davey, Farage, Clarkson, & Lloyd-Webber are supporting the farmers, cannot you even grasp that something might be amiss?

@jujutrini8412 There is something of a difference between paying taxes and paying inheritance tax, even if you cannot grasp it. Farmers are self-employed, for the most part, and pay tax at the same rate as any other self-employed does.

@kanggeorge4781 Examples, please.

No. They inherited discussions only. There was no deal imminent.

@jamesfx2 I can well sympathise with your need to try to move the goalposts away from the Chagos Islands shambles, comrade.

The problem with PR is that it results in the kind of shambles that is Italy. PR gives extremist parties the balance of power.

@brianferguson7840 Almost all farmers are self-employed, and pay taxes like any other business. The issue here is inheritance tax. I thought that you had grasped that?

@xtranormalCARTOONS88 Get a grown up to explain the message to you. The reference was to the United States. It was surely clear enough.
1
@mwd331 But the reference was, clearly, to the US election. As to the British General Election, the winning party accrued 19% of the votes of the total electorate, and 500,000 votes less than it did in 2019.

@mwd331 I am simply correcting your reference to 'most people' when it is clearly not the case.

Are you desperate, owd lad? The previous government was involved in negotiations. David Lammy tried to hand the Chagos Islands over immediately, and sought to pay Mauritius to take them. Even though the Chagossians want nothing to do with Mauritius.
