Yes. That's the implication of the definition. This isn't particularly controversial, Sunil. I remember this being mentioned in passing at GCSE geography.

Sea flows under your doors in London town. And all your defences are all broken down. You laugh at me on funny days, but mine's the slight of hand. Don't you know I am a joker, a deceiver? And I'm waiting for the land.
She's 49. You don't get to look that different at that age without some kind of work having been done, or illness or dental work (or Ozempic?). I genuinely thought she was a different actress
You take that back. She's not been able to do anything wrong in my eyes since she played that substitute English teacher with the slightly too tight sweater in Spooks.

Some farms will be taken entirely out of food production under plans to make space for nature, the environment secretary has said.
Speaking at the Groundswell farming festival in Hertfordshire, Steve Reed said a revamp of the post Brexit farming subsidies and a new land use plan will be aimed at increasing food production in the most productive areas and decreasing or completely removing it in the least productive. In reality, this means many upland farmers may be incentivised to stop farming.
Love to know how that will play out in those National Parks that look like they do because of the farming done there....
Rewilding and conservation grazing.
The Lakes are an upland desert except in a few inaccessible places where the sheep can't reach (eg East face of Helvellyn) where a few remnant arctic/alpines remain.
See Ennerdale (or Glen Feshie).
I would worry about marginal land in other areas though. Going to be a wind farm gold rush
Yes, what subsidy schemes are left are all going that way (nature restoration). National parks will likely still be largely wind farm free, the rest of the uplands will be deemed fair game for turbines.
The average age of farmers is a lot older in the uplands and hills. The government know those guys without successors won't be there forever, plus it'll save a bit of money long term if there are less upland farms and nature takes its course.
Quite a few villages in southern Scotland now have more wind farms in the vicinity than human residents
Nowt wrong with that.
Plenty of space for turbines, its a productive use of land. And if upland, plenty of wind too.
Very sensible.
We don’t have too many turbines. We have too few people.

Natural looks combined with good lighting, make-up, and some amount of work (not too much) can take 15 years off easily. Its when being too ambitious - eg 50 trying to look 30 rather than 40 looking 30 - that trouble hits.

Why do they do it? Isn't a degree of self-respect supposed to be key to a happy fulfilled life?
Possibly. Though plenty of people are able to dull the howling of the resulting void with money, power and alcohol.
(One of the problems with creating a good society is the way that each extra pound generates a bit less additional happiness. So, at the top, you need to give people absurd amounts of money. I've been missing on this a lot recently, which probably says a lot about the kind of school year I have had.)
I question this - I remember a ridiculous amount of media hyping a backlash, but how many actual human beings were that het up about it? Banknotes issued by the Bank of England are about to get their first major redesign in more than 50 years...At times the choices have landed the Bank in hot water. The absence of any women, apart from Queen Elizabeth II, on notes in 2013 prompted a huge backlash. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy4nn1d2vzxo
One of the suggestions is Iconic British Buildings which I think would be the best choice as there is a limit to any culture war about them and also, I’m guessing, we aren’t going to find out that St Pancras Station had been kiddy fiddling all along so low risk.
The cheesegrater it is.
£5 Liver buildings £10 Caernarfon castle £20 something nice in Edinburgh. £50 St Paul’s Cathedral
Shame you don’t have pound notes as would suit something in Manchester.
All bland choices that shouldn’t give any particular tribe the vapours.
All the best buildings are in London. Bridges, however, are more evenly spread around: Tyne; Forth; Tower; Severn. Still nothing for Manchester, mind.

Pretty much saying what they were doing by stealth.
Loads of productive land will also be removed due to the increasingly prolific number of solar farms being approved. A lot of these will be done via rental agreements rather than energy companies buying the land
The land that is so productive that farms will go under without the inheritance tax relief, so the farmers claim?

Newly-built social housing in England will be exempt from Right to Buy for 35 years, under government plans to further scale back the policy. Social tenants will also have to live in their properties for much longer before qualifying for the scheme, which allows them to buy at a discount.

Another powerful argument for redistribution. Not just fairness but net utility. The same pound is worth more to the poor man than the rich man. So when it moves down the curve utility is created.

The IHT stuff is a lottery, if you are young enough you can shift it across to the next generation now and live 7 years, put it into partnership or ltd company, use your wife/partner to transfer a share, there are plenty of options. Older farmers who have hung onto assets til they are 80 plus, or seriously ill are the ones who will be most at risk to the IHT change.
One of farmings biggest threats to its future is the younger generation wanting easier, better paid jobs for the amount of effort they put in. There will be a sea change in both attitude and farming over the next 20 years
With productive land, I'd argue you've slightly more options what to do. You can't build a new town 2000 feet up in the Pennines
I believe 'local lad done good' Paul Nuttall has been appointed vice-chair of Reform UK.
I'm reminded of Stewart Lee's sketch at this time........
Was that the one where he goes back to the Beaker People, identifying one wave of hostile immigrants spelling bad news for the whoever the current population was after another? I remember at the time thinking that wasn't necessarily the slam-dunk take down of the anti-immigration position that he or his audience appeared to believe it to be.

It was and you’re right, it isn’t a complete destruction of the argument but it made me laugh. Lee is very good.

It was a funny bit, but funny bits even where they contain grains of truth do not always translate perfectly to practical political points. It's like using a line about being historically a nation of immgrants, which signals a position without I think being strictly true in the way people would generally mean such a line.

But this one translated into the opposite political point to the one he was intending to make. Unless he genuinely was trying to present an argument against immigration.

Are you white and poor and living in rural America with only one small cottage hospital twenty miles away? Made the mistake of voting for Donald Trump because he would make America Great Again?
The House on Thursday narrowly passed a sweeping bill to extend tax cuts and slash social safety net programs, capping Republicans’ chaotic monthslong slog to overcome deep rifts within their party and deliver President Trump’s domestic agenda.
The final vote, 218 to 214, was mostly along party lines and came after Speaker Mike Johnson spent a frenzied day and night toiling to quell resistance in his own ranks that threatened until the very end to derail the president’s signature measure.

There was a lot of attempt at drama but I don't think there was ever any real prospect of it not passing.
The two Republicans who voted against this bill were representative of the political divide within the party that threatened its passage. Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky is a fiscal hawk who strongly opposes measures that would increase the federal deficit and add significantly to the national debt. Representative Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania is a moderate from a battleground district that Democrats are eager to flip. He had previously expressed deep reservations about cuts to Medicaid funding.

She looks fine, but not like she’s enhanced
"Enhanced?" No. But she looks different, and not normal aging different. I've had another look and it doesn't look like cosmetic surgery (except possibly buccal fat removal?), more weight loss: her cheekbones are more prominent: indeed most of the skull. Her neck is going too, which is unusual for a woman her age. It's not the saggy look you get with aging, more like underskin fat removal, hence me thinking Ozempic/dental work/illness.

Season 1 is very very rewatchable I find. I don't know what it is, but it works a lot better than 2 and 3 (though I did like Jim Keats). Perhaps it just felt more like 1981 than seasons 2 and 3 (which didn't feel quite right for me).

Speaking at the Groundswell farming festival in Hertfordshire, Steve Reed said a revamp of the post Brexit farming subsidies and a new land use plan will be aimed at increasing food production in the most productive areas and decreasing or completely removing it in the least productive. In reality, this means many upland farmers may be incentivised to stop farming.
Vile agenda.
A good reminder that Labour are malign as well as incompetent.
There are a lot of metropolitan elite who think food comes from shops, nobody wants to invade, the system isn't broken and if everybody was just nice to each other it will all work out.
Sounds like the Union of Traken.
Didn’t end too well.
The Master blew it up?

This isn't particularly controversial, Sunil. I remember this being mentioned in passing at GCSE geography.

Sea flows under your doors in London town.
And all your defences are all broken down.
You laugh at me on funny days, but mine's the slight of hand.
Don't you know I am a joker, a deceiver?
And I'm waiting for the land.
She looks fine, but not like she’s enhanced
(One of the problems with creating a good society is the way that each extra pound generates a bit less additional happiness. So, at the top, you need to give people absurd amounts of money. I've been missing on this a lot recently, which probably says a lot about the kind of school year I have had.)
I'm reminded of Stewart Lee's sketch at this time........

The Portugal forward, who was 28, had undergone minor surgery so doctors had advised him against flying.
As a result, he was planning to return to Liverpool for the start of pre-season, due to begin on Monday, by boat.
Yes, teaching can be v stressful, I know. There are some in my family.
It's like a shot from Kramer vs Kramer or something.

One of farmings biggest threats to its future is the younger generation wanting easier, better paid jobs for the amount of effort they put in. There will be a sea change in both attitude and farming over the next 20 years
With productive land, I'd argue you've slightly more options what to do. You can't build a new town 2000 feet up in the Pennines

JackEmma....Paul Nuttall of the UKIPs was right.
Are you white and poor and living in rural America with only one small cottage hospital twenty miles away? Made the mistake of voting for Donald Trump because he would make America Great Again?
Oh dear. You are totally fucked.
This characterisation may vary per subject, of course.
The House on Thursday narrowly passed a sweeping bill to extend tax cuts and slash social safety net programs, capping Republicans’ chaotic monthslong slog to overcome deep rifts within their party and deliver President Trump’s domestic agenda.
The final vote, 218 to 214, was mostly along party lines and came after Speaker Mike Johnson spent a frenzied day and night toiling to quell resistance in his own ranks that threatened until the very end to derail the president’s signature measure.

Oh, and much to my delight "Ashes to Ashes" is on iPlayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b00jhp3l/ashes-to-ashes
A good reminder that Labour are malign as well as incompetent.
Not a bright move. Understandable given her views, but I doubt she'll keep her seat after 2029
Ashes to Ashes was excellent. Something I need to rewatch. Possibly when I finish Whitechapel.
People age.
Didn’t end too well.
Re the Pennines, Buxton and Alston say hello. Is there anywhere on the Pennines with a large enough area over 2000 feet to build a town?
