OT Reeves spring statement

[ramAnag]

No not ?only able?, you seem to associate quantity with quality but I prefer to focus on issues I have some first hand knowledge of.

There?s no point offering a response regarding ?landowners? when the word could mean so many things, I?ve asked Swale to clarify so cool your boots (probably not muddy) until that is forthcoming. I?m a ?landowner? so maybe I have greater insight than yourself or Swale on the subject, maybe not

What nonsense. I associate the quality of a reply with the content. Swale provided reasoning for both his approval and concerns. You, in comparison, apparently dislike RR because of the tone of her voice, which I accept can be irritating, although you approve of her in a red suit. How very insightful.

So you’re a landowner, me too at a very small level, and therefore might have greater insight. Another very debatable assertion but let’s go further.
How much land do you own and what is it used for?
In brief I’m all for proper farmers on family farms being able to hand down their legacies - although I’m not sure (or knowledgeable enough) to understand why they should appear to get a different set of tax breaks. Sure GP can help on that one.
I'm entirely against wealthy individuals - such as the vociferous Mr. Clarkson - buying up land as a means of avoiding inheritance tax if that is, as it appears, what has been going on

The RR comments provided balance, you should try it some time.

Regarding ?landowners?, for the subset which means farmers I defer to GPs comments and would add for emphasis that profit margins are ridiculously low and they for the most part work bloody hard for it. We all love our hardworking nurses but in terms of graft there?s no comparison
I?m a landowner of a different sort, and could feel aggrieved that while mines been accumulated through farmer-style graft, I?m taxed the same as those who do little more that acquire, dispose and charge. But I don?t as it happens, life?s not fair in that regard but it?s more than fair in others

Your RR comments ‘provided balance’. Really? You don’t like her voice and you do like her red suit. Brilliant!

The rest is, as ever, as clear as that mud on your boots and don’t you worry I’ve had my hands and my boots dirty plenty of times.
