The biggest piss takers are multi nationals not family firms. If Osbornes company makes no profit because of high wages, it just means they pay income tax and NIC instead of corporation tax. Similarly theyre perfectly entitled to use losses if theyre carried forward from previous bad years.

 

I dont know what that articles trying to say really other than the Osbornes are rich. Well theres a fucking surprise.

Public spending on the NHS is set to drop to 6.2% of GDP in the UK. That's pathetic, below what the USA spends on public health iirc. Spending in real terms is only going up 0.9% a year causing huge strains as demand is massively increasing beyond this. For reference, real spending on the NHS was 5.3% under new Labour (yet people can't see a difference in the parties......).

 

People vote in a low taxation party and then seem surprised when their services collapse. Meanwhile, the only opposition party commits electoral suicide. Wholly predictable and depressing stuff.

Link? Last figures I saw this week (at a conference on the economics of healthcare) was 8.5%. Which is low anyway.

"And yet the morons voted him in."

That's fighting talk

This all goes back to the Tories wasting the North Sea oil bonanza in the 80's and 90's on tax cuts and other giveaways instead of using it to build up the NHS and social infastructure.

Running a deficit most of the time whilst having the North Sea oil and selling off loads of public owned companies. And convincing the public they were making things better in the process thanks to our wonderful press.

Sky news have a 'jihadi jez' headline on their website, something to do with Corbyn wanting the terrorist 'jihadi john' brought to trial rather than just killed outright without being held to account.

 

What chance does this country have politically with a media like this here? Imagine if he'd shagged

Some of the relatives he killed actually said they wish he'd been taken alive so they could better understand why he did it. The treacherous pigs.

:lol:

 

I don't even know if you're serious or not with some of your craic over the past couple of days

Well, your "craic" is entirely predictable and no, I'm just reporting what was on the news. Obviously it was never going to be possible to get this psycho home to face UK justice. Edited by Renton
