I never thought I would say this, but there is one aspect of T.rump winning that was positive. My portfolio is up over £60k since the rapey liar won. To the moon baby! 🤩 EDIT: Mostly ETH, SOL and ADA, with a wee chunk of BTC too if you're interested

Other: 2-4 A humdinger of a game, with the good guys coming out on top

Rubbish! I've never seen you resort to sarcasm :lolol: I have to say that, relative to other political threads, the debate on this one has remained reasonably cordial (though I doubt I've read every post, so I could be wrong)

I don't even do my own - I'm smart enough to pay someone that knows what they are doing :lolol:

You might be surprised at the number of hobby farmers / smallholders there are, as well as other small-scale rural businesses classified as farms and officially a commercial operation. The reality is that they are little more than a hobby or (in modern parlance) a side-hustle. Someone with room...

My parents have a small holding, which almost certainly counts as a farm in those statistics (it's registered as a farm business). Just 6 or 7 acres and a small flock of sheep these days just as a hobby. It has never made a profit and that is not down to clever accounting (I submit my dad's tax...

I couldn't agree more (sadly). Better education on food would be a start. Actually, make that: Better education on food would be a start. My great hope for politics is that a party will emerge that champions education above all else (and properly). Give future generations a proper start in...

Yes, but only if you can't get a tee time at Lewes, Pyecombe, East Brighton, Seaford Head... From October to March, Mid Sussex is unplayable anytime someone spills a bottle of water :lolol:

IMO, it's difficult to then justify why other businesses that pass a 'primary asset' or 'primary business/source of income' test are subject to IHT. I think my overall point on all of this is that the farming model is broken due to low prices for the food produced. Sort that out and measures...

As a keen golfer (well, I was before the kids came along and stole all of my spare time), even I think that so many golf courses are a waste of land that could be put to much better use (e.g. the rewilding of Waterhall). Hassocks was a course I hated for no particular reason, so I'm happy to...

Yes, but how do you distinguish a farm legitimately bought by an investor to run it as a farm from one bought as an avoidance asset? I presume even the avoiders install/keep a farm manager and keep on running it as a business?

Looking past the shouty nonsense, I think that Charlie was trying to make a point to JO'B that the inflation relating to land prices is so far out of step with the increase in farm revenues since the last time tax was imposed on inherited farms (prior to 1984), that comparisons between then and...

The Farmers Weekly article posted earlier in the thread said that their poll of their readership suggested 54% voted for Brexit: Aside from the obvious questions about the veracity of the FW's survey, it indicates a smaller majority of farmers voted for Brexit than I would have thought.

I remember a pre-Brexit pub chat with a local farmer. He was pro-Brexit, but didn't see my argument that the ending of EU subsidies was likely to be a massive loss to his industry, so he was a turkey voting for Christmas. He believed that all the support would be replaced and it would be a...

I thought this was going to be a thread about bum grapes, not sour grapes

I'll file this one away under "Slightly less likely than the second coming of Kemy Agustien"

How are we 20 posts in and nobody has suggested it's with the FA Cup money? [clears throat] Maybe it's with the FA Cup money? As you were!

One would really like to think that if it was a cynical act by a club insider, they would choose a time that didn't put the 14s in danger?
