I don't see the problem with having one Jewish state, there are lots of Christian and Muslim states for example. |

A number of well off, comfortable countries, arrogant enough to think that people will just follow them without thinking of 'what's in it for them' have hit reality, you can't just preach to people. It's the same behaviour that got Trump elected again. [Post edited 23 Nov 22:23]

Running a Championship club is not for the feint hearted, at least he's seen what he's up against.
I'm a bit more optimistic than when Levien and Kaplan arrived. |

Subsidies started after the war to maintain continuity the food supply, to prevent farms going out of business because of cyclical demand and pricing issues.
Subsidies do seem to have expanded and I'm not sure I understand them now. The IHT on farms possibly presents a similar issue for food supply security. |

15 year gilt yields have hit 4.7 percent, we are not far off the level that happened after the Truss budget. If Reeves does not get her expected tax income and growth does not pick up we'll be in a pickle. |

The Saudis have, with other oil producing countries, proposed that the previous agreement to transition from fossil fuels be overturned. It's going backwards!

Yes, in places like France and Italy small businesses and family operated concerns seem to manage well. Here we have changed a whole load of taxes and rules to favour big business, and the changes to IHT for Farms is another step in that direction. We will end up with big industrial corporate farms like the USA
Small business profits are kept locally, big business profits graduate to those with money. |

Black Rock only have about 11 Trillion Dollars of assets. One of the organisations that have driven the concentration of wealth into a small number of businesses.
Starmer does not understand that Black Rock is part of the challenge that ordinary people face these days? [Post edited 22 Nov 12:36]

The likes of Dyson will have his assets protected in companies and trusts. As ever, the middle ranks will pay. |

Lots of people not wanting to examine the facts or the context just jump to a conclusion that fits their prejudice. It's the modern way. |

The issue is not the value of the working farm but the value where it is possible to run a farm. The return on the land value can be less than 1 percent, do in order to run a farm and understand the business model it's no use looking purely at the land value. |

Well, as I posted earlier if the Government were transparent and published the data on which they made the decision, which they say they have. We'd all be the wiser, but this shower like the last shower of shit are not transparent. |

It should be easy to sort out, there are not that many farms, thousands not millions, and all you need to do to put this to bed is publish the data relating to farm values. The Government says they have done the sums so make the process transparent. |

Reply | Wales 4 Iceland 1 : Cullen culls Iceland and Wales win the group

Cullen is a bit of a dilemma. Lacks the pace and creativity to be a winger and not big or strong enough to play a lone central striker role. 10 looks like his best position but I think Franco is a much better all round player, for example. |

I don't know enough about the health of the 'playing pyramid' in Wales but the regions have struggled against international opposition for a number of years and with the WRU are struggling to manage their responsibilities it feels like we are in for a rough few years? |
