  1. Past hour
  2. Different scales, as you well know. How's that king cab pickup working out for you? Don't try to play the fool, you do it with the race baiting, it just makes you look like a dick.
  3. Tax avoidance which you have said on several occasions is legal and acceptable. Envy 🤔🤔isn’t that a sin Mark.
  4. The envy of the leftards is never far from the surface. You been sulking SP/TA after you had your arse handed to you recently for lying wee man. 😂😂
  5. Nail on head. Westminster Estate is just one of many. They take our resources and put it in trusts where they have sole access to it. So aye, tax the wealth.

  7. That 6% tax instead of paying a 40% tax doesn't pay many times over. Lets assume that a generation is 30 years - granddad to dad to me - 30 years each time - that 40% would be paid sort of every 30 years when one dies. Which if my sums are right is 3 lots of the 6%... or 18% ? That is smaller isn't it and probably less than a lot of ordinary people will be paying.

  9. Pretty much tax avoidance then 🤷‍♂️which you yourself have said on several occasions is something you and your accountant partake of and is totally legal and acceptable Mark.
  10. Today

  14. Depends how you class a defender 90 , thats not used for business
  15. Total parasites! Get rid of them!
  16. The Duke of Westminster's inheritance of the multibillion-pound Grosvenor estate, often reported around £9-£10 billion, was largely exempt from the standard 40% UK inheritance tax due to the use of complex, long-established trust structures. These trusts hold the assets, meaning they do not pass directly to the heir and therefore avoid immediate, massive death duties. Key details regarding this inheritance: Trust Structure: The estate is managed by trustees, separating legal ownership from the family, which keeps the assets outside individual, taxable estates upon death. Periodic Charges: While avoiding the 40% inheritance tax, such trusts are subject to a 6% "periodic charge" every 10 years, which acts as a form of tax, though it is significantly lower than standard inheritance tax. Estate Protection: These structures are designed to maintain the integrity of large, historical landholdings and businesses across generations rather than to specifically evade taxes. Legal Position: The use of trusts in this manner is legal, and the Grosvenor estate is considered one of the highest taxpayers in the UK through income tax, corporate tax, and other levies, despite avoiding inheritance tax
  17. Yes quite a lot actually. I agree we are all being played to an extent. But also many of us are playing. When someone like Elon Musk creates a company and does very well (let’s remember it will do well only if he provides something many people are willing to pay for) and creates tens of thousands of extremely well paid jobs, is that playing us all?
  18. So the Prosperity Institute. Controlled by four directors, only one of whom resides in the UK. Predominantly funded by a Dubai-based investment company that also funds GB News. (There seem to be questions around the owner of the investment group's links to Russia.) The balance of donations to the institute facing some controversy over funding transparency. This all seems like exactly the shadowy influence and dirty money that Mr Booby is trying to tackle. The "large group of pieces who are not always visible in the game but are able to manipulate both the main players and the pawns, and even change the board entirely to a completely different game, but usually with the same goal." That you were referring to in this post:- Us common people are all in the same boat, we're all on the same side. We're being played by the mega rich and powerful. As you say. Am I missing something?
  19. Well he should have said that! He said “Millionaires and Billionaires”. Many millions of people in the UK are millionaires. And you need to remember that the reason for paying no Inheritance tax is that the assets are in trust and that instead the trust pays other taxes. Namely the trusts pay 6% tax every ten years. Not just on inheritance but potentially several times in an average lifetime. So as usual it is a myth that the country is awash with rich people paying no tax. My landlord is also worth billions and when he died and his son inherited the titles and estates the IHT bill was over £70 million.
  20. The Duke of Westminster inherited a 10billion estate and payed no tax at all on it. That's the sort of wealth that should be taxed. He is an example of the super rich that Polanski is referring to.. https://www.currypopeck.com/news/trust-enabled-duke-of-westminster-to-avoid-billions-in-tax/
  21. Jesus. Is it one of those American fridges?
  22. So I was quite surprised to see what the total weight (excluding me but with lunch and fridge in!) was. Can't say anyone guessed close either, but monkeybusiness was nearest... 🏆
  23. For locking while you're on the road, you should look for a coupler latch lock. It’s basically a small padlock with a long pin that goes through the handle on the hitch. This keeps the latch from popping open while you're driving and makes it harder for someone to unhitch the chipper if you stop at a shop. You can also get a locking hitch pin to make sure no one takes the whole ball mount off your vehicle.
  24. Started running like dogshite yesterday. So much fuel is pouring in, two vids one of the fuel leaking out of exhaust manifold, next is of spark plug removed (spark plug working by the way) crazy amount of fuel coming out. Any ideas muchly appreciated. IMG_4596.mov IMG_2480.mov

    This is a lightly used IROSS firewood saw/Processor in fantastic condition. Model IROSS MX470CD NT. Bought as an ex-demo in 2017 and I used it only a handful of times before I packed in my firewood business. It has since been dry stored in a barn. There is some very light surface rust here and there (only visible on close inspection) but I can get pics on request. Aside from this it's literally like new. Will run off a compact tractor, I used it on the back of a 26hp Kubota (its a bit on the heavy side for it but will just move it). Otherwise the jack legs could be replaced for castors to save them digging into the ground and take some of the weight. The blade is in perfect condition, cuts like butter it really is a fantastic machine and produces nice clean logs. The 4m belt is height/angle adjustable and can be fed straight into an IBC or trailer etc which saves a lot of time and double handling etc. Please get in touch any questions, collection ideally but could possibly deliver within the northwest for a fee.
