Farmers often don't farm their own land. They're often paid not to farm it.
I stand by my statement. If you believe that taxing people who own a paltry 50 acres of land an average😯 of £100,000 per year is realistic, then you're probably related to Diane Abbott.
Are you incapable of understanding English? If small farmers own the land they don’t pay taxes. If a rich landowner owns it he pays the taxes. But none of this matters because the UK is never going to be governed effectively, fairly and efficiently for its people. It was all just a dream.
Hi Walt, your piece jumped out at me because I live in Wales, and I'm an LVT fan. (also a retired 80-something technologist). My book "Stop House Prices Rising" Conall Boyle 2022 Bitesize is essentially a plug for LVT. So congrats to you, featuring on the Ron Unz review! But what's your connection with Wales and LVT?
Hi, only just read your comment. Born in Wales, left for university, lived in Llanharan 1975 to 1994, then persuaded by my then English wife to move to Devon. Formed a company in 1994 which started acquiring Chinese customers in 2006, visited 50 times up to 2020, now resident there. Remarried a local two years ago. Just turned 80. That’s about it in a nutshell.
Definite food for thought Walt, i have been guilty of the laid back approach to life in Wales. But even I can see the draining away of resources with nothing put in its place. Even our airport only works minimally, yet could become a big hub for international travel, after all we have the space unlike London to expand and then a reason to improve our road and rail networks instead of being ignored we could as a nation rise to fulfill our potential..... Yes you have got me thinking.
Yes indeed, it's certainly the case. I think the recent acceleration of the declining state of the UK will drive more people into thinking favourably about it. More to come.
I've just heard it's going up on the Unz Report unz.com in a few days.
And fully set up for LNG, which is then piped all over UK. H'm? Ukraine receives transit fees for Russia-Slovakia gas pipelines. Another source of revenue for Wales?
A farmer with 45 acres would need to find £100,000 per year in tax🤔?
Good luck with that.
How about a begging tax?
Let's say £100,000 per year to be levied on everyone sitting outside Tesco with a paper cup and "homeless & hungry" written on a piece of cardboard.
That has to be a winner.
No. Read what I wrote again. Farmers farming their own land would pay no tax at all.
A tax on morons who are unable to understand simple English and then make unsubstantiated, supposedly funny comments, that’s worth a thought though.
I read what you wrote, Walt.

Hi Norma good to hear from you.
Yes indeed, it's certainly the case. I think the recent acceleration of the declining state of the UK will drive more people into thinking favourably about it. More to come.
I've just heard it's going up on the Unz Report unz.com in a few days.
It's worth mentioning that Milford Haven, in Wales, has a deep water port that can handle VLCCs (oil tankers) up to about 350,000 tons.
And fully set up for LNG, which is then piped all over UK. H'm? Ukraine receives transit fees for Russia-Slovakia gas pipelines. Another source of revenue for Wales?
Thanks, and more modern too, I think.
I had forgotten that. Long time away!
I'll change that.
