If they are using assets worth many millions of pounds to make no return, are they actually undertaking useful economic activity? I know that they think they do because they believe that they are producing food. I do not dispute this. What I am saying, however, is that if they believe that...

"If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it." Might pick up last year's model for around £100k

Whoosh... The original post just reminded us of the length prison sentences for Just Stop Oil protestors who caused delays.

I may be missing something here. If these figures are "after all costs, salaries etc", is it not rather important to know what the farmer is paying in salaries (including to family members) and whether costs include (e.g.) a new Land Rover?

Some of the public on here are doing the duping.

Seriously, no-one needs to die for the sake of £2 a week. If it were, why not give it to children living in poverty?

Well, if it's a family farm and the family are still working it, bigger the farm the more tax to pay. Or make it a company and divvy up the shares rather than wait for the old folk to die. BBC this a.m. reinforced the asset rich / cash poor argument by saying the return on farming assets is...

That was in the context of explaining levelling-up (which he said was about addressing regional discrepancies, even though Osborne tried to address this with Northern Powerhouse etc well before Brexit). And he got far more lucid and animated (and happy) when explaining that we'll never vote to...

If the media were really scrutinising the word "pogrom" they'd not keep repeating it for this incident. Like they won't keep repeating the word "genocide", or "war crimes". Oddest is the claim that if you compare anything today with the Holocaust it is "minimising the Holocaust" yet for the...

I take it the Lord is not an absentee English Lord. But it's a British title so does everyone in the locality still defer to his lordship?

I can see the argument against bringing children into a world where any country can elect someone like Trump.

Did they call themselves British?

So that's Captain Ahab in charge of marine conservation?

Because it's not funny?

I think the new station actually is in her constituency (now renamed North West Essex) which is a big geographic area and includes parts of Chelmsford borough.

New readers beware. Don't be sucked in by this poster.

He's done some transactions with the Christian Zionists.
