Keir Starmer at it again..

Can someone help me understand the farmer situation? Using the above example, isn't he paying tax on something that he only has the theoretical worth of? The farm may be worth £3.5m, because of the land value, but unless he sells it he can't pay the tax. Isn't that the issue? Yes he'll be a rich man off the back of it, but lose the farm and potentially generations of history.

He can give it away to his kids/grandkids and if he doesn’t peg it within 7 years all is good.

If not…1st million exempt, 20% on the next million and 10 years to repay the tax is what I heard this morning. Other reliefs apply too.

Also the report mentioned that seriously wealthy people were snapping up farms to avoid that element of their estates being subject to inheritance tax, hence why it’s suddenly being reformed for farmers.

It’s pissed Jeremy Clarkson off, so that’ll do for me.

This guy seems to explain it quite well

And he was already in a foul mood due to his doctors telling him to cut out meat, alcohol out of his diet generally eat better and exercise more after his health scare/ minor heart attack

Assault and magistrates so likely a fine and community service, that'll get the 2 tier Kier brigade frothing with their lack of understanding

MP Mike Amesbury charged with assault after 3am clash in street

Cheshire Police confirmed Mike Amesbury, MP for Runcorn and Helsby, has been summonsed to appear in court following the incident in Frodsham last month

Thing is, it's fucking wank though isn't it. He's hit somebody 4 or 5 times while they're on the floor. People who do that should be sent to prison.

Then you need another 20 prisons or so. He obviously didn't really hurt him or it would have been an ABH or GBH charge and a custodial sentence more likely.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If the mags feel their sentencing powers are not sufficient for the offence, then they refer the case to a higher court for sentencing. Thats how it works.

 

[BillyDee]

It hasn't been widely reported if there were any injuries. It'll only be custodial if there are serious injuries, that's the same for anyone.
Edit: as Tony says

 

[Tony Towner]

The maximum sentence for common assault is 6 months so they can't.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The CPS will have decided a charge. Mags will deal with it then. Blame the CPS not the court of first instance.

 

[leedswolf]

The maximum sentence for common assault is 6 months so they can't.

The most common sentence being community service.

 

[Tony Towner]

The most common sentence being community service.

Yep, which is what he'll get, the same as anyone else would.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well there is a custodial penalty available, but it would be a surprise unless there are particularly egregious circumstances. No injury then or it could be the more serious offences

I like stories where they kind of include some facts but hope no one notices, like in this case a shit ton of previous convictions
