These are the rules for normal people…

Inheritance Tax

is a tax on the estate (the property, money and possessions) of someone who’s died.

There’s normally no Inheritance Tax to pay if either:

• the value of your estate is below the £325,000 threshold
• you leave everything above the £325,000 threshold to your spouse, civil partner, a charity or a community amateur sports club

The standard Inheritance Tax rate is 40%. It’s only charged on the part of your estate that’s above the threshold.

Business Relief for Inheritance Tax

What qualifies for Business Relief

You can get 100% Business Relief on:

• a business or interest in a business
• shares in an unlisted company

You can get 50% Business Relief on:

• shares controlling more than 50% of the voting rights in a listed company
• land, buildings or machinery owned by the deceased and used in a business they were a partner in or controlled
• land, buildings or machinery used in the business and held in a trust that it has the right to benefit from

You can only get relief if the deceased owned the business or asset for at least 2 years before they died.

From April 2026, a 20% tax rate – half the headline inheritance tax rate of 40% – will be applied to the value of farms and businesses worth more than £1m when they are passed on.

I think this is what they are complaining about.

A combination rifle shotgun sounds like something that would be useful for shooting drones in Ukraine.

Excellent choice! In my vague memories it was an original game with a fun theme

Black & White 2 gets my vote

I didn’t remember this specific incidence, but the govt. / media do like to blame that darn rock music, mini skirts, Doom game, horror movie for all the bad things that are happening.

Also, link to this specific incidence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_Rose#Controversy

Impressive to watch, but shouldn’t friendly infantry be in support?

The name is British, the fine is dollars ($), so could be a lot of places …

I WFH, so my chair gets a lot of use - it’s one of the tools I use.

If I was an electrician, or I commuted to work I know I’d be paying for tools, fuel, repairs, train tickets etc

I don’t know what your circumstances are, but I find a cheap chair falls apart pretty quick.

Gunner - “Are you sure those aren’t our guys!?”

Commander - “Yes, fire!”

The better office chairs have 10+ year warranties, if you spread out the cost of buying a cheap chair (£150) every 2 years Vs a £1000 one that lasts 10 years its not such a huge difference in price whilst the benefits to your back are worth much more.

I know not everyone can afford this, but it’s worth checking for interest free credit from either the manufacturer, store, or even PayPal / klarna (which is what I did).

3 noses, 2 feet, 1 tail; at least that’s what I can see.

It’s happening in the UK under Operation Interflex with the involvement of a number of other countries: Canada, New Zealand, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Australia and Romania.

I guess it’s to tangle / stop the drone from getting too close

Spaced armor and slat armor are also designed to defend against HEAT rounds, protecting vehicles by causing premature detonation of the explosive at a relatively safe distance away from the main armor of the vehicle.

It looks like a GTA V online vehicle skin with the special extra smoke tyres.

Impressive spec though.

It’s US English I think …

The other one that I notice is “write your representative”, instead of “write to your representative”

A cope cage

Yes, I was wondering about this…

Let them eat cake

Looks like he’s lugging around a bike or car battery along with the radio set. Must weigh so much!
