But it will also hit family farms, working farms that really don't make much money. Surely there has to be a way to hit the likes of Clarkson and Dyson, while leaving small family farms alone.

I wish we had some hard figures on this. It was clearly stated as the intention not to hit small family farms, but its all got so heated it’s impossible to know the truth - whether misjudged or exaggerated by Clarkson et al
I agree. I hear that the figure is 1-3 million, but taking into the machinery, etc, 1 million isn't much. I just don't trust them I'm afraid. A government that is being advised by big corporations and banks may be getting some very dodgy advice. If small farms have to sell of land, who will buy it
For sure its very complex and it certainly suits rich and landowning tax avoiders to convince farmers they’ll all be hammered, but is it true? Be good to work a few test cases with neutral experts.
I don't know. Maybe I've got my tin foil hat on. I just don't like to think of small farms going out of business and being sold to the likes of Blackrock. I just hate to think that there's an ulterior motive here.
Oh me too. I completely agree - know lots. But tax is complicated and farmers busy and rich tax land owning tax avoiders can easily play on small farmer fears. Doubt UKGov want small farms sold off either - very hard to know the truth of the figures.
I don't know what the government wants, it's the people who they listen to that I have a problem with. And the fact that they'd sell anything off in their quest for "growth".
