      > “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.

      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.

      The comments are heartless. Just for one moment put yourself in the comfortable high end slippers of a castle owner.

      Having to keep so many elegant and vast rooms well heated is extremely costly – but how else are you supposed to stay warm while sipping the third brandy and gazing at the portraits.

      The summer house and winter cottages need redecorating every season incase I happen to take the carriage that way by chance. Not to even mention the boat over at the family lake.

      The groundskeepers, security, stable hands, cooks, maids, butler, gardener, blacksmith, events manager and promotion agent all need to be well paid and the overpriced vistor cafe run by my niece needs the art deco light bulbs replaced every so often.

      So kindly stop accusing and complaining and get back to your peasant duties as we are noticing a decline.

      Lastly, double the taxes – rob the poor to the feed the rich, aha!

      >are saying they have to pay three per cent, which is like “getting another large mortgage”

      I think people would be ecstatic if they were offered a 3% mortgage.

      I’ll try and find my tiny violin… might be in their grade II listed Georgian house they own opposite the castle they own…

      Sure he’ll survive. If he’s really lucky Mr Dyson and Clarkson will club together and buy it from him.

      Pull yourself up by the bootstraps, get yourself some mounted retainers and shake down a few passing merchants if you’re short on cash.

      This generation of castle-owners has no initiative smh
