Inheritance tax changed, in 1984? Wealthy people put their money into farmland - tax savvy!
The value of farmland increased - demand!
Labour want to roll that back..?
Close the loophole!
So farmers can afford land! Billionaires sell land!
But farmers protest???
FFS?

Watched Total Recall this evening.
One of my fave films from my younger days. And, of course, read the Philip K Dick short story..
But FFS!
It's obvious watching the second time around!
He never went to Mars!
I am cross that I never realised at the time?
I am glad, 35 years later, that I know! HA!

smallest hooligan has been asked to write a 'haiku' for his English homework...
Just for fun - this is what I came up with for the prompt 'Autumn'...
Crunchy moonlit hike,
Autumn trees let go their leaves.
Bright wind bites tonight.
I prefer to write silly rude limericks? But hey!

In this article, I argue that what we're seeing is a reversion to the default state of politics in centralised, hierarchical societies. This is the way they were run for centuries. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Trump has pledged to wage war on planet Earth – and it will take a progressive revolution to stop him | George Monbiot
Voters have never been swayed by ‘rational debate’. Only a genuine change in the way we do politics can prevent the march of the right, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

So I ended up buying a new dishwasher, after fixing my old one, so many times, it was BER...
It is a very nicely made machine
It has a feature - a 'favourite' button, to choose quickly the programme you like most!
But - you have to click through every setting to get to it?
FFS!

People question why I buy test-gear - fix stuff myself...?
It's partly cos I can save a bit of money, of course.
A contractor would charge us 80 quid?
This instrument cost me 65 quid, and I use it every year, of course...
But I just love that I can service our boiler myself!
