His dad was exactly the same. In favour of nuclear power when a minister responsible for it, then as soon as he was sacked, he was as anti-nuclear power as if he had always been so!

He tried to brazen his way out of it, but was for ever exposed as a time-serving, vile money-grubbing Champagne Socialist.

I am one of a rare breed, an actual Eurocrat of UK nationality. I work a 45-55 hour week, and receive a crap salary (around the same as the UK civil service). I'm not moaning about my terms of employment - I could always get another job - but I do find it hilarious that people think we are fat cats/lazy tossers.

and btw 85% of EU money is spent by member states not brussels.

If Mr Backwoodsman checks he will discover that there is no second 'E' in Wedgwood

One had the pleasure to work with a cousin of the noble second viscount back in the days of the Wilson Government* (*for want of a better word.) One's colleague was most forthright in his opinions on his famous relative, claiming that the Great Man of the People followed his illustrious father's tradition of treating the humble peasants on the family demesne like shit. One didn't take the words of a dedicated quaffer at some of the Square Mile's most salubrious watering holes lightly. Of the squatter on the green benches, intelligence is scarce, but one has no reason to believe that family custom will be abandoned. To think that there is yet another generation of these parasites waiting in the wings is not a pleasant prospect.

Yes they do, which is why land prices have rocketed over the past five years.
Being 'in the industry', I understand the reasons for the tax breaks, too: If you are a farmer, then your farm is your business. It'd be pretty devastating if everytime a generation retired, the next had to pay huge amounts of IHT.

2008-02-21T10:02:00.000Z

Words like hypocrite really do fail to deliver the opprobium that one wants to dump on the little shit.
But for once, I agree with Hillary. We want every last penny of CAP we can get, afterall we're bloody well financing the EU.

As for the farm, does boy wonder have an interest? has he declared? i suspect that he has left himself exposed as i suspect that the farm is in trust and Hillary gets a cut.

Which also begs the question as to how a socialist can own such assets. A murderous kleptocratic apparatchik`yes, manofthepeoplepipesmoking Tony shurely not.

Hilary Benn has the maddest eyebrows in politics. Chez lola we rush to laugh at them when he comes on the telybox.

Both he and his dad are hypocritical and clueless.

In re the CAP - it's no good doing fiddling with it, it'll just make it worse. It has to be scrapped. But there you up against the French....

2008-02-21T09:44:00.000Z

I wonder if these tax reliefs still apply to farm land?

There are two principal reliefs from inheritance tax, namely Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief. Both of these reliefs, subject to certain ownership conditions, operate by reducing the value of qualifying assets liable to inheritance tax.

The reductions are as follows:

100% for the agricultural value of farmland, including farmland under certain tenancies which commenced after 31 August 1995
50% for the agricultural value of most other tenanted agricultural land
100% for interests in business assets owned by a sole trader or by a partnership and shares in private companies carrying on a business
50% for land, buildings and certain other assets used in a farming partnership or company, but owned personally (and not otherwise covered by agricultural property relief).
The effect of these reliefs is to remove much farmland from the charge to inheritance tax.

Speaking of barmpot clapped out socialists, I see that there is an EDM in the Commons praising castro for the joys he has brought to Cuba.

Perhaps you could publish the roll call of dishonour?

People jump into shark infested seas to escape the leftist hellhole, and STILL Labour MPs delude themselves about the nature of Castro.

Hmmm... What will these MPs be when they grow up?

If Tony Benn has etired I hope there will be no more embarassing appearances on Michael Moore films. Everybody cringed when he came on.

I can't believe the EU is still getting away with the CAP. Even arch-Europhiles change the subject when you bring it up. The words "better off out" are sounding better by the day ...

off Benn buton Europe have you seen in the Torygraph that the EU have completed a report into MEP exspenses but yoy have to be on the committee to sse it, it's being kept in a locked room with restricted access and you have to sign a non disclosure agreement before you're allowed near it

Essex Lad, yep being the true socialists that they are, you would think that the Wedgewood-Benns would continue the tradition of free access that the local Blackwater wildfowlers enjoy along that coast. Sadly not, hence their unpopularity locally.
