No one outside of the USA has ever heard of Kid Rick or the other fella. Bruce, however,sells out major stadiums and appeals to a very wide demographic.

Why is opening up the US market a bad deal for British beef farmers?

It seems Trumps administration is on a mission to kill kids, including American ones. Kennedys fake vaccination statistics will lead to fewer inoculations and increased deaths from highly preventable diseases like measles. It’s tragic.

The agreement allows for 13000 metric tonnes of beef tariff free, both ways, but like the Aussie deal it must be non HGP stock.

One of the notable facts from history is that Governments that become dictatorships attack intellectuals and judges first. They fear people who have the intelligence and skills to defeat their propaganda.

The first part of electoral reform for the Labour Party is the House of Lords, and removing the remaining hereditary peers.PR is not currently a priority. It doesn't exclude a future option, though

The Labour government has committed £5b over the next 2 years to farming and rural communities.Very few farmers will be paying inheritance tax. Helping poorer nations feed their staving populations seems reasonable to me.

They also seemed to have missed that Labour have committed £5b to rural and farming affairs in the budget. I wonder why?

It's not a great surprise that complaints were made on the basis that she impunged both the Manchester police and the Khan supporters. As a journalist, she should be verifying her facts,not posting false accusations. The police were right to take action.

I'm just doing a bit of toe dipping ,I have not really engaged here so far. Hope it's all a bit less toxic.

Clarkson expressly stated that he bought his farm to avoid paying inheritance tax. It's precisely because of him and his cohort of tax dodgers that the tax has been changed. It's worth noting how many media bosses also own farms.

Locally, we have introduced 20 mph roads. I freely admit that I found it irritating at first,but my observation is this. Those that used to drive at 35 in a 30 are now driving at 25 in a 20, as often as not. As you get used to it driving at the lower limit becomes more natural.

The accusations may be coming from a well-known source from what I understand.
