Fine. The point is that debt is a world thing and we established a few days ago that we’re all ok with it. So what’s a few billion more to make lots of lovely hospitals? Quote

Do you know that Japan has the highest debt in the G7? 263% of it’s GDP. It also has the lowest inflation rate. What do you make of that? Quote

How can it be right that someone earning 100k paye has a higher tax burden than someone earning 10 times that through various schemes? If you want evidence see our PM. Quote

We have consistently been compared with the EU and the rest of the world because of Brexit and the government so called ‘crashing the economy’ . Labour never stop banging on about it. Quote

Indeed, a proper "sliding scale" and closure of the tax dodging loop holes by large corporations would be a start. Also a huge clampdown on the "cash in hand" scrotey businesses which we all know are rife Quote

I don't disagree with you, but it'd be nice if we moved on. Of course we won't. Like you, I'd never normally want a Labour government, sadly, I just feel we need a change. I'm at the point where I don't think it can get any worse. I do wish I was like you, and thought it was all OK, and was happy enough to leave this lot running the gig for a further four or five years Quote

The numbers are tiny compared to city tax avoidance. Quote

We let them get away with it, and always will, because we don't want them to leave the UK Quote
Sweep Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 As an aside, how pleased must the Government be that it's kicked off Israel/Gaza, because it has deflected from the recent news that we've almost run out of prison places....... Quote

It is a fallacy. Quote

I don't think anyone has compared us to Japan, or should have anyway. It has been on its own crazy fiscal cycle since Hiroshima. Quote
