I’m going to receive a Knighthood.

[PSQ]

Mohamed Mansour has given the Tories £5 million and is to 'coincidentally' receive a knighthood.
But I on the other hand have this year helped to supply well over 3 times as much to the public purse, simply by selling feed wheat (fag packet maths ensues, feel free to correct):

1 tonne of wheat yields 450L of alcohol on a dry basis, so 382.5L at 15% ex farm.
Alcohol tax on spirit is £28.74/L x 382.50= £10,993.05 per tonne wheat (£43,972 /acre).
X 1300t from 130ha = £14,290,965
Add VAT and my income tax bill and it’s well over £17 million in revenue.

I suspect my letter from King Charles III is stuck in the post (it is a 4 day weekend after all), but when it hits the mat I’m going to invite you all to a massive investiture party. I’ll supply the hog roast, but unfortunately it will be BYOB, as even with a pretty good average yield the economics of growing wheat, and paying the Scottish tax rates, it means I can’t afford the booze.
I mean, have you seen the price of it lately?!

On a more serious note, when someone mentions subsidies, I’ll be happy to point out that the government gets it all back 630 times over:

Per Ha of wheat, roughly £208 in subsidy versus £131,916 in duty and VAT.

Yeah, but wheat beer tastes like p!ss.

You might get a wooly hat.

Fear not goodly farmers amongst you, for when I claim my rightful place on the throne, thou shalt all be knighted and recognised for the great work you do.

I may have casually mentioned before that I am, without doubt, in line…

Mrs COPs brother is married to a descendant of the Baring Bros banking family. I’ll admit it’s going back a bit, but one of the Baring family was married to a descendant of the Bowes-Lyon family who, of course, were The Lovely Queen Mothers family.

So it’s easy to see that, come the revolution, I’ll be wearing the sparkly hat and waving the sword around over the odd shoulder now and again.

First against the wall will be The Environment Agency and nobheads in pubs who serve me my tea on a cold plate.

Will Hadrian's wall be long enough?

Ever since the Mad Bitch became a dame basically made knighthoods pointless and worthless.
If I had one I would have given it back when she got hers.

Think the Great Wall won't be big enough!!!

There's a flaw in your logic, sadly. The public purse isn't the same as the Tory purse...

There's a flaw in your logic, sadly. The public black hole isn't the same as the Tory back pocket...

Edited for clarity.

Fingers in the till are fingers in the till regardless of where you are on the spectrum.
