That’s interesting. Are you talking about sites like St. Paul’s Monastery in Jarrow where the Venerable Bede lived? Would that fall under this category? It seems like the chancellor is becoming a big problem for Labour with her murky past and lies becoming front and centre, at the moment. It all seems a bit of a mess and ill thought out with a blanket approach that is badly affecting the wrong people. I still don’t understand why farmers with a history going back more than a couple decades of farming on their land can’t be exempt from these new changes. They want to go after tax avoiders, fair enough, but they’ve not done that specifically here.
It looks like the Euro is tanking and almost 1/1 with the US dollar. The dollar will be worth more once Trump takes office in January. Anyone travelling to Europe next year should hold off another couple month before exchanging their money. I imagine you’ll get a very good deal then.
No, St Paul's Monastery comes under English Heritage, I think. I won't give specific examples on a public forum but I can think of a few that fall into the category. They're in private ownership but not necessarily owned by wealthy individuals and people try to keep them running because they love the building or feel a duty to keep hold of it. Obviously, every building/heritage site is different and circumstances will vary slightly at each one. I agree with your last para. I think they could easily change all this slightly to target the people they want to target and keep in place the protections for the people that they are there to protect.
Thanks for that. I seen someone on here replying that the local small farmers should just ‘liquidate some assets like the rest of us’ and a fair few posters seemed to like his comment and I could see which way it was going so I left it at that. What are they supposed to liquidate? Land, machinery, cattle? Everything you need to actually farm…
Was just about to call you out on your previous post (I take it you are not kidding... no reply necessary).
