  • Anyone else find it at least a tad remarkable that the inheritance tax story has generated this much discussion here, to the exclusion of all else? Is there nothing else happening?

    (Serious question, these days I mostly only expose myself to news via people talking about it, which I recommend for your mental health)

  • A lot of people’s estates will be in excess of the £325,000 so it probably affects more LFGSS members than you think.

    I agree with your method for exposure to news.

  • I think that anything could generate loads more discussion on here (LFGSS being full of smart, politically active people) except that people seem to get irked at discussion getting to long or too serious unless it's in a dedicated thread. It doesn't take much for it to all kick off: just one person needs to say that the truth is very obviously X.

    And I totally agree about your news filter, especially during a Trump presidency. I will wholeheartedly embrace anything that means I don't actually have to listen to the fanta-coloured wankstain actually speak. I don't know whether that's mentally healthy or Olympic levels of denial.

  • Well reading this boiled my piss today, has an impact on everyone not just farmers.

  • Same with Gary Barlow’s son

  • But to the important issue of the day - what is going on with Blair's bookshelves?

    [Edit: Blair is using AI bookshelves, isn't he - now I don't know who to trust]
