[@antarcticdissuasionforce2625]

As someone who DOESN'T own their own house, and also won't be inheriting anything from their parents I'm afraid I hear the crying over inheritance tax as a big non-issue. But, at the same time I appreciate that a lot of people, especially of my generation, the first generation to be expected to do worse, financially, healthily and mentally, than our parents did, at least for a long time, and also largely because of decisions made by the generations of our parents, that inheritance is probably their only hope of owning a home, so I do also sympathise. And it's to those sympathies that I find the farmland inheritance thing to be massively a case of 'Look, guys, you've benefitted massively, now it's a case of just accepting that this NEEDS to be done and you're gonna have to adopt that Blitz spirit and get on with it, like the rest of us have been.' I have lived in various parts of Europe, Germany and Ireland were the two biggest, my biggest takeaway with healthcare there is actually how healthy their outlook is on health and healthcare. We demonise our ill and disabled colleagues, peers and neighbours, making it hard, sometimes impossible, to disclose our needs upfront. Other countries don't have that attitude as much as we do, and honestly we used to be better. Occupational health adjustments for disabled people is seen as a barrier to employment, taking time off for chronic or mental health issues is seen as a loss of revenue, and of wages. We have adopted an American view of employment recently that essentially just sees the bottom profit line as the only one that matters. Societal expectations of employers is virtually nil these days and even though corporations will tell you how much they care, if you have more than your allotted days sick in a year you will be placed under scrutiny in the hopes that you can be released from employment without fault. Both of these cases are a result of American style 'me first' populist politics encouraged by the previous government and by their sponsors, some of which are detailed in James' own book, and while I was well aware of the issue, I wasn't aware of how deep it goes until recently. Labour will hopefully be a light in showing this to be the case, and a force in fixing this.

[@antarcticdissuasionforce2625]

I've also been lucky enough to have visited a few African countries, and in this country we almost universally see Africa as a single unit that is poor and desperate. There are rich people in Africa, although fewer than other continents, and largely that's because of our attitude to them, which has been largely built by media like the Band Aid song. We don't think of Africa as a culturally diverse continent with more difference from culture to culture than we do even in Europe. There's a weird phenomenon in the US where they think of Europe as being either like Paris or like a 90s war torn Eastern European city, and that the whole continent is the same, and we do the same for Africa. Not just that but Africa is seen as a source of cheap or even unpaid labour, even today. The actual way of helping those countries in Africa that are more poverty stricken isn't to just hand out money or food, although that does definitely help, but it's to help them develop their economy, in the same way we do, or used to do, with our European and Asian neighbours, with trade, with tourism, fair trade, although not perfect, is more beneficial to poor African countries than Band Aid was, at least as I've seen. Charities are fine, and on the whole they don't wrap everything up into one continent in need of help, they usually describe where their money is going and most no longer focus on Africa or African countries, they tout their help in other places and mostly in disaster relief, but we can definitely do better. Also, white people aren't any better than black people, we aren't the saviours of the world, and honestly we need to get our own poor helped. Instead we worship the likes of Elon Musk, an idiot who has been given so much economic power that the poor of the US could be lifted above the poverty line by his 'net worth' alone.

[@abikt1782]

Yeah, sorry, but the farmers are angry, and they have been scuppered over and over again. Charlie has unleashed a lot of anger- which is the same anger that Clarkson and the others in Westminster were discussing today. I understand where Charlie is coming from. I'm from Devon. There are so many farms that have been unable to continue, and the land has been bought up and paved over for houses. We've lost hundreds and hundreds of acres for dairy farming and beef farming over the past 15 years and even now, we are losing more countryside almost monthly the way the government is pushing for housing. No one cares about farming in the Westcountry, and this is now abundantly clear for all farmers across the UK. Sad times.

Clarkson's presence probably not helping the farmers' contrived appeal for public sympathy. He is famous for not being a poor bloke and has said things that clearly demonstrate that he is a wealthy man. So when people see a protest about tax which is being 'fronted' by a famous rich person, it will he hard to get their sympathy. Farmers may get some headway in the public psyche if they keep parroting the line about them being "producers of food", "and food prices will go up". A simplistic message like that tends to work with the masses. Remember Brexit.

1. Charlie wants to be a part of that 'special' group that doesn't want to pay taxes yet still want to benefit from the infrastructure and services taxes pay for. EVERYONE needs to pay taxes, it's not a boogeyman people need to run away from especially if being used to help the many instead of the few through public services. I did see Charlie's point about wanting to keep the countryside pure but how can that happen when he supports fossil fuels? He seems to have a disdain for solar panels, which may be the future whether he likes it or not. My message to Charlie: pay the f**king taxes or create and use your own infrastructure and services! 2. The UK needs to decide IF it wants to be healthy, not when. Brits can be hypocritical when it comes to health and wellness. On one hand when you indulge in too many sausage rolls and put on weight, you are fat shamed. Yet there's a Gregg's on every corner. Britain's food is not of the highest quality, unhealthy options are mostly available, children aren't given healthy lunches, you criticize the U.S. for having this fast food grab n go culture with food, yet the UK is right behind them, and you have a failing health system. Yet still, when a person has a few extra pounds to buy healthier options like an avocado toast, they get sneered at and called 'woke health nuts' 3. I completely agree as a person of African descent with Fuzo DG(?) summation of Africa's ability to take care of herself without any white horses riding in to save her and the negative image of Africa. Africa is rich in resources and can handle her own affairs. There are still a few claws of colonialism dug in that still need to be removed, that seems to be happening gradually though.

You reckon James will talk about the misinformation he spread about the Southport killer?

Again!!! Really? You didn't address any of the questions yesterday, yet here you are with the same BS.

[@gb5721]

Well wasn't Charlie an absolute delight...

[@tylervaughan1387]

Charlie has to be the worst caller I've ever heard. This show actually welcomes the opposing opinion and the point is to discuss the discourse. Nobody should be ringing in just to bellow their opinions without welcoming challenge, there's forums for that sort of ignorance.

Be honest 😂 he was funny though. Demented but 😁 funny

I think the government has been power Hungry since before lockdown and during no jab no job that is a government mad with power decision I didn't vote on lockdown I didn't get furlough it's wrong

I mean this is a different party in government the government that did that was the Tories as they where in power it's best to not confuse the 2

James you are the most annoying and arrogant man on the radio.

[@ArtyFactual_Intelligence]

He knows too much for his critics' satisfaction. His logic destroys many idiots and they can't take it without shouting ' liberal elite', 'woke' and 'lefty'.

I think means testing benefits, allowances etc is a Labour thing to do. That's why I voted for them. Can we means test for child benefit next.

[@amingee90]

Yes I would like the government to go ahead and I dont want to see any shaky hands please, I didn't see the otherside caring about the rest of the population getting affacted by Brexit and and 12 years of conservatives rule subjucting ad oppressing the weak and poor ad middle class and enriching the rich. This is a long fight that must leave a dent the rich needs to start resecting the poor and the middle class and the whole country doesnt only stand on our shoulders it stands on their shoulders too, especially when they are responsible for alot of the country downgrading.

[@brianferguson7840]

In The Farmer's Weekly, their annual sentiment poll in 2022 revealed that 72% of farmers were Tory voters, and less than 21% were considering other parties ! And this at the time of Lizz Truss' Prime Ministership! I think that tells you all you ever need to know about farmers.

[@brianferguson7840]

A recent survey done by Science Direct, Journal of Rural Studies, showed that 60% of farmers voted for Brexit. This study was produced using survey techniques where the participants are completely anonymous and, therefore, are not inclined to give false replies to questions due to embarrassment or shame. Further, other data flattening techniques are employed to double check the validity of the data. So, as demographic groups, farmers and Fishermen voted in the highest national percentages to ruin Britain. But now Farmers are crying about having to pay the "same as everyone else" to repair the damage caused by their greed !

How do you pay tax on "Free" gifts exactly??

[@Daimler-b6h]

Curious that many of these farmers/landowners income has been quoted as under the higher tax threshold.

@@jdizzle1779 British farms just aren't big enough, and our climate is pretty lousy. We'll always have to supplement local produce with produce from abroad.... which is often cheaper anyway, because they have bigger farms and better weather.
