This weekend and I have just looked at the line ups on the main stages.
1. The 1975, are they really that big they can headline the pyramid stage on Friday night.
2. Neil Young is a massive headliner on the Saturday, but Raye as second on the bill, the whole day doesnt give me much hope.
3. How is Rod Stewart that low down on the Sunday bill, i know its the legends spot but there is no one above that would fill the Brook let alone Glastonbury, Olivia Rodrigo has only had two albums FFS, Noah Kahan 1 big albim released 3 years ago again never heard of him.
The Other stage seems to be a little better, but Charli XcX & The Prodigy hardly Glasto headliners,.
All in all yet another step to Glastonbury being a middle class type gathering, not a rock festival anymore |  |

It's not a tax on the dead. It's a tax on the inheritors who haven't earned a single penny of it. Every tax involves "mugging" someone, but all other taxes "mug" the person who's earned the money. This makes inheritance tax the fairest of all taxes.
But the biggest reason to favour it over other taxes is that all other taxes disincentivise something. Mostly they disincentivise good things e.g. put up income tax and people work less, put up employers NI and there will be less jobs etc. This issue doesn't exist with inheritance tax. You can't disincentivise dying.
Personally I think we'd have a fairer, better and more successful society if there was no such thing as inheritance and everyone started from the same point, rather than some starting with multi million fortunes they haven't earned. The only real problem with inheritance tax is the lengths some people will go to avoid it e.g. hypocrites like Michael Eavis. |
How you can say inheritence tax has no disincentive is beyond me. We live in a society built around family. Family is one of the greatest motivations in work; to provide and build something to leave to others. The money taken in inheritence has, in majority of cases, already been taxed.
The second idea of everyone starting at plain zero is just envy. Obviously it isn't beneficial if someone doesn't have a passed down inheritence, but that doesn't mean it's better to make sure everyone has to have this situation. Your idea is equality through equal pain not equality of any societal benefit. Where does this money go? Straight to the government to spend for 5 seconds of NHS payments instead of supporting their families. |  | | |

I agree with Bill Gates who said he wouldn't be leaving his wealth to his children because it would hinder them more than help them. But I'm not saying that everyone should start with nothing. I said it would be ideal if everyone started from the same point - and that starting point would include a good education, freedom from crime and foreign threats, a safety net when things go wrong and many other things, all of which need to be paid for by taxes. You assume that our taxes just disappear and have no "societal benefit", I don't. Better to fund those taxes with inheritance tax than pretty much any other.
Lots of taxes are taxing money that has already been taxed. There's nothing special about inheritance tax there. VAT, stamp duty, savings interest, alcohol duty, you name it - it's a tax on money already taxed. Pretty much any event is taxed and death is no different, but people get more upset about inheritance tax even though less than 5% of the wealthiest estates actually have to pay any of it and the inheritors are hardly ever "children". The average age of inheritors is 61 and they are typically grandparents themselves when they receive it. People who wanted to help their children would have already done that, on average, decades before they die.
I just double checked those facts and one of the sources I found gives a good summary although the tax allowances are now more generous than those quoted at the time:

Matty Healy is staggering across the stage, completely off his head.

A ticket to Glastonbury this year is £382.50 including the booking fee, to watch that shower I wouldn’t give you £19.75!
Jo Wiley in trying to hype them up pre-performance was trying to tell us all how lucky we were to be able to see them as this is their only live performance this year. Thank God for that at least… | | | |

Currently watching Alanis Morissette performance from last night, on iPlayer, she is still damned good
Might try Wet Leg, Wunderhorse, Supergrass, Inhaler and English Teacher coverage later

I have seen two tracks of Blossoms from yesterday and that’s all.
Will try and catch Shed Seven’s set from yesterday if it is on the iPlayer.
Wolf Alice tomorrow evening are about the only band I’ll try and catch.
Not that bothered. Overkill from BBC makes me want to switch it off.
Far more interested in the under-21’s Final tonight. |  |

Yep I caught some of Alanis and she really has still got it. Cannot believe it was her first time playing Glastonbury.
First caught her back in the 90’s when she played Phoenix Festival having just released Jagged Little Pill.. On the same bill that day was a newish act called the Foo Fighters. Trying to recall whether Taylor Hawkins was still with Alanis at the time. The Manics also played having just released Everything Must Go following the sad loss of Richey. |  |

Some quality currently on Pyramid Stage, PULP being shown live on bbc iplayer | | | |

Being an old fart from the patchouli Afghan coat era I’ve enjoyed Alanis Morrisette and John Fogerty and looking forward to Neil Young. The modern stuff is mainly throwaway shite churned out from the pop factory no one will remember in future years. Nice to see people having fun though and feck Starmer for trying to get Kneecap banned. Twot that he is. |  |

I can't stand Olivia Rodrigo's histrionic screeching but it pales into tolerable having just heard Brandi Carlile's cold blooded murder of Woodstock. My God, that was dire. | |

So far watched Supergrass, Franz Ferdinand and Inhaler, all of which were great. Just watched Pulp who smashed it. The decision to not show Kneecap is just pathetic. As you say Starmer is a tw4t, he’s an embarrassment to the Labour Party, the sniveling little turd.
Just turned on the Ezra Collective and that looked great fun for the crowd. | | | |

Yes thought Ezra Collective were great. Enjoying Neil Young but I’m a fan from way back.
Labour through the idiot Culture Secretary have complained about Bob Vylan and Kneecap and now the police are investigating comments made on the stage. It beggars belief. At least they can relax tomorrow we have Rod Stewart who’s a Farage fan. | |

Charlie Xcx. I actually quite like her music but:
1. There’s no band. Which means she’s singing to backing tracks. That’s not live music.
2. What the fu*ck does she think she looks like. PVC pants and top doesn’t work. If your music is good enough you don’t need to take your kit off.
Anyway, carry on. |  | | |
