Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

So they have to pay 60k to receive more a than a million in assets? Seems like a pretty good deal and one you'll easily be able to get a loan for
If you have net assets of more than a million pounds, you're not really working class
Yeah, and pay it off with what? A lot of farms run on really thin margins.
Again, I'm not so sure. Plenty of people I know work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet but happen to own a home they bought cheap before their area gentrified.
The housing market has severely skewed any sense of normalcy on land and property values, and it's not like those who own houses are getting dividends on the change in the value of the house.
The farm.
If the UK ag sector is so unprofitable they can't handle a 20 percent tax every few decades, it doesn't deserve to exist any more than any other UK industry that's collapsed and been offshored.
Well I kind of agree with you there. How much of UK produce is actually sold in Tescos and Sainsbury's, I doubt it's as high as people think
