So what is the problem? HMRC puts too much emphasis on the people who interact with them. The abusers are in the shadows. #Hardman24

Excellent thread, from a disinterested observer, on what is really going on in farming and who will (mostly not) be affected by the IHT changes. Note, in particular, the amount of farmland owned by the Harmondsworth family, owners of the Daily Mail.

In years to come, the evidence of Professor Nizam Memode will be used in museums, in school talks, and in historical archives to reinforce the apparently forgotten message of ‘never again’.
