    > “I get that the Government has to raise money, and we have got to work out a way to have a dialogue with them. If they’re just blindly going to say, ‘Right, let’s tax you out of existence’, the damage they’re going to do will be unreconcilable.”

    Either pull yourself up by your bootstraps or live within your means.

    As someone who grew up in Hedingham, it’s very strange for the article to say it’s in Halstead.

    >He added that this isn’t about “monocled owners,” but heritage which is “worth saving”.

    They don’t care. They managed to transform the capital city of Great Britain into a city for Russian oligarchs, Chinese billionaires, Arab princes, “expats”, refugees, and an open air museum for tourists. It’s now a city where native Britons are a minority. If they did this to London, what makes you think they’d care about some 12th century castle in the countryside? They’ll strip you dry until you have nothing left because they don’t care.

  4. Correct me if I’m wrong but if it’s about the heritage of the place and not about “monacled owners” then wouldn’t it be simple to avoid the changes by having the keep managed as a charity?

    Aww bless.

    We should really feel sorry for these castle owners who have to pay tax now. It must be so strange for them.

    I hope they have the support they need to get through this unsettled time of change.

    It’s funny only the rich are angry this time unlike Truss budget where working class were bent over and screwed with a pole

    Has he thought about giving up Netflix, the AGA and the Range?

    If it’s about saving British heritage, has he considered donating the castle to the National Trust?

    Funny how these rich arseholes didn’t bat an eyelid while the Conservatives did exactly the same thing to literally everyone else

    Maybe if they had less avocados and Starbucks they could afford the tax.

    15 years of Tory government with austerity policy and poor people being told to try harder. Allowances being made for the rich while the poorest have cost of living increases. Gas prices go up and the energy companies make record profits. Food prices go up and the likes of Tesco make record profits. All at our expense.

    Now finally the rich are getting made to cough up they want everyone’s sympathy. Where was their sympathy for the last 15 years?

    Absolutely no sympathy for Tory voting millionaires set to inherit millions of pounds of assets.

    Well this click bait of an article has certainly achieved its goal in this thread

    I thought the site was a pisstake. Reminds me of that printing company Mark gets stung by in Peep Show.
