@sarahstuartxx "And is that how it is set out in this Bill?" Yes. "end their own life" "to be self-administered" Though I think a doctor is supposed to be present in the UK for some reason.

@VladaOfEngland Smack bang next to Chester. Why wouldn't you?

@shashj What would be the point? Trump/Farage etc don't do numbers. Its all about the vibes / feelz.

@VitkiPepon Its a complete mystery.

@saifalikhan067 Oh No! Perhaps Russia will spray some nerve agent around a provincial cathedral city.

@nmtm1970_2 Makes a change from nerve agent, I suppose.

@thegutterpoet Wouldn't an "old military base" be where you'd put, I don't know, an HQ for 10,000 North Koreans?

@shashj I wonder what they said on the bridge when they noticed the anchor was dragging in open sea? I'm sure the voyage data recorder will be found to be "unservicable".

@CarnoustieC Yeah. We seemed to have food before 1992 when the loophole was introduced.

@CarnoustieC Great. Dyson with his 36,000 acres won't be taxed. That's what we all want. Who needs pensions, roads, schools or healthcare anyway?

@OnHartley Yep. Like everyone else. If a 40 year old with over two decades of full time farming experience - and the one doing the physical work - can't take over then its not much of a "Family Farm".

@Oneeyedgirl1 It is an issue. I have a friend who's sister married a farmer. They had to live with their 2 kids in a cramped workers cottage while the no-longer-farming parents "squatted" in the 6 bedroom farm house into their 80s.

@mermaidatlarge Mornington Crescent! You have a great, if cold, day. 👋

@mermaidatlarge Nah. Very much the same subject.

@mermaidatlarge How will everyone else with a family business pay twice as much?

@mermaidatlarge That will be a very small number. They will then pay half the tax everyone else pays, with 10 years to pay interest free. (AFAIK if they are married, the spouse gets it without tax.)

@jonpp82 So tax policy is to be driven my old farmers refusal to downsize? If they are still actively farming at 65 years old its not much of a "family farm" scenario.

@mermaidatlarge Perhaps its a stupid question. They should sign over the farm when they stop actively farming it. Hand over the large farmhouse to the ones with kids. If that happened 95%+ of "family farms" would have nothing to pay. Its all about "family farms" after all.

@mermaidatlarge The most common age of death in UK is 86 (for men). Perhaps there would be some inkling by that age that they were not immortal. Perhaps not actively farming the land for a couple of decades might be an indicator? Perhaps looking at their 50-something off-spring?
