Agree there. But the difference between communities and species is that the former can be created as well as destroyed. My own community wouldn’t exist if a prior community of small enterprise owners in an industrial estate had been deemed worth preserving in aspic

I’m not sure Chesterton’s Fence is really a satisfactory general answer and I especially doubt it when the policy it’s defending was introduced in living memory! But a good answer to the question well received
All of these are good questions to ask and it’s imperative on supporters of those policies to have good answers!
Ideally the tax breaks would be for family theatrical publishers
I can’t work out if “this will harm family farms” is exclusively a claim of welfare on behalf of the family farmers, or appealing to a greater need in the country to have lots of family farms.

Because we’re all poisoned by cultural hegemony 👍
Thankfully I’ve spent years embedding “likes booze” as one of those facts and no-one ever says “thanks but I already have whisky”

Vibe code it baby
Why do they care? Why is it more important that land be farmed than lived on, to the extent that the farming should be subsidised
Think the idea that Dyson needs a big tax break or inflation will spike is unbearably credulous.
This is the flip side of “the country was hurt by the Tories not governing like Tories”. Sometimes the best thing for the country is saying “you should never have had this giveaway, we’re just taking it away, and you’ll cry but you didn’t vote for us so we don’t care”
Right. You can do that. It’s fine. You’re the Labour Party.
Sure you can
The land is massively used for tax avoidance purposes in a way that inflates the cost of actually farming it
Would be nice if they folded on their policy of banning my friends from peeing but no. Farmers and OAPs 👍
lol lmao this government will stop at nothing to fold for people who are never going to vote for them
Inheritance tax for farmers to kick in at £2.5m, not £1m as planned, in government U-turn to help farming community - www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
