Today's story in The Independent about a possible subsidy cap wasn't new news (FW reported it back in September). The way the paper handled it was also pretty predictable - featuring the usual collection of Royals and Dukes (excuse me while I yawn).

But it is not all bad news. The story has generated some interesting discussion about the purpose of support payments and whether a cap would really be such a bad thing on the FWiSpace discussion forums.
