The Ambridge Socialist
November 3rd
Give no quarter to the Kulaks
The Budget has provoked much muttering from the Kulak class, and particularly Kulak spokesman and hobby farmer Jeremy Clarkson. Clarkson acquired his Oxfordshire farm because it was tax efficient. That is he could pass it on tax free on his departure. The Budget introduced limits to this meaning some tax might have to be paid.
Of course everyone else who has anything worth inheriting has to pay tax on it above a certain amount. Why farmers should be exempt given there are no doubt ways of getting round it with the help of a financial advisor is unclear except no doubt to readers of the Telegraph and Mail.
The Ambridge Socialist says no quarter should be given to the Kulaks of Ambridge and is monitoring closely conversations in the Bull on the matter.
*The above story should not be taken to mean that the Ambridge Socialist supports Stalin’s policy on the Kulaks and the Gulag
Charging Station Update
Justin Elliott has landed Fallon with a smaller unit than planned but at the same rent. Meanwhile Fallon thinks there is a big demand for oat milk in coffee. We shall see when the charging station gets around to opening which will apparently be some time in 2025.
Rewilding, a new moral economy?
The lease for the Rewilding area which is held with Borchester Land is up for renewal. That of course means a negotiation with Justin Elliott. He has told Lilian that he doesn’t want a memorial weed patch but its unclear exactly what he could do with the land. It was of course one of Peggy’s pet projects. In a rather odd conversation with Justin, echoing the Christmas Carol, BL supremo Martyn Gibson has told Justin that there is more to life than money and he should stop harassing Kirsty and Rex.
Darling and Mate
Is this really how they speak in Ambridge or is it just the scriptwriters?

George
George is being bullied in prison. Whether this will be character building or character destroying we shall see but it underlines that prison is often not the best way forward, despite what the Reform UK Ltd social media posse think
