So now, after trillions having being poured in total by all nations of the world (enriching a few people in the process), these gurus now tell us that these alarming views that they have hammered us with everyday in the news, these ideas/facts! now happen to be exaggerated.

We saw close to 20000 farms (some 10-15%) disappear since before Covid to 2024, and this year we could see another 10% close in anticipation of the Family Farm Tax. Loosing 1/3 food production could be years away (assuming that those closing are the smaller less productive farms)

When Brexit was voted the whole idea was to end the hand-over of funds to the EU (at the tune of 10Bn a year). From 2020 to 2025 that would have been 50Bn, yet it turns out that the UK has handed over that amount in the post agreements with the EU. But a Family Farm Tax is needed

This matters for UK agriculture. If our Government's plan is to rely on imports for food security, that's a very dangerous tactic when other developed countries are also failing to feed themselves. More people chasing the same imports inevitably leads to price rises.

The Labour government putting family farms at risk with inheritance tax also puts supply chain industries at risk - vets, builders, mechanics, shops, restaurants, haulage, breweries, packaging etc. From field to fork, the government are risking the entire UK farm industry chain.

After a complete cycle we realize that we were trying to outsmart Nature and it didn’t work. Why are humans so pretentious to think that what Nature has evolved after millions of years of innumerable iterations, we are going to improve it because ‘we are smarter’? Let Nature be.

When deer grind their teeth they are telling you that something is not of their liking and that you are pushing them out of their comfort zone. If they then pull their tongue out then that means they are really ‘disturbed’. But if they stand up when they don’t have antlers…👊

Inheritance tax is immoral. A government punishment and theft tax against the bereaved of loved ones who built a successful life and legacy. Yet, there is one UK family who don’t have to pay inheritance tax…

The licking of his lips shows the stag is ‘hot’ and after a quick attempt to discern if the hind is still ‘in season’ he decides to quench his male excitement by scraping the mud in the wallow.

The aim is not to ‘do good’, but how to profit from a government led initiative and who profits from it. Trees grow on farmland and that would benefit farmers… so it’s a no-no.
