  1. Nice little machine 👍he displayed excellent operator skills 👍
  2. Racist, how so? I'm just curious as I don't live in Scotland so have no first hand experience. Nicola Sturgeon is one of the most anti English individuals you could ever come across, she barely manages to keep it under wraps.
  3. I must admit Mark im surprised how candid you are about your attitude to tax especially seeing the way you seem to espouse social justice at every opportunity. Im sorry to Mark to the tune of £211000 over 3 years 😥. Mind you I console myself with thinking of how that will have made a difference when spent wisely by the snp.
  4. Grow up Mark Anyone but you is what it sounds like.
  5. Wrong Mark, I’ve been self employed since leaving the Army, I’m more than happy to pay my taxes. The shit I’ve gone through in the past 3 years out of 32 is down to the actions of two individuals ( Directors of the contractor and the agency I was paid through, both of whom played the ltd company get me out of jail free card to walk away from the carnage) The two individuals did as you say and played by the rules but knew where and how to bend them to the limit 🤷‍♂️Morally bankrupt wankers Mark.
  6. I don’t think Mark, you’ve just told everyone how you view things 🤷‍♂️. Your actually saying you want the free stuff but are happy to avoid the tax !! Who do you think should pay for it then ??.
  7. No thanks I’m happy to pay my way.
  8. That’s pretty bad Mark, you preach socialism yet practice tax avoidance. As for being up people’s hoops that mortgage guru Mandleson was the man for that I hear.
  9. !! That a serious question Mark. I live in Scotland so pay my tax here I’m not bloody Google or Amazon bud. It will make zero difference if you are registered in England or Scotland if you live here you will pay Scottish tax rates. I don’t hate Scotland rather I despise the SNP as a divisive, racist, incompetent bunch of fools. That’s not very community spirited by the way, talking of registration elsewhere to avoid tax.
  10. Read up on the actual situation and numbers of free uni places available and where Scotland has gone in the education league tables in the 14years of SNPs governance. Let’s see how things look soon now that the snp has dropped the council tax cap and slashed council spending. If you want a state where the power is absolutely centralised ( like she did with police Scotland) then she is your woman.
  11. Show me then!! SNP equals high tax poor service but great propaganda and a huge budget for press officer’s. Mind you Sturgeon despises Westminster and the tories so you and her should get along fine.
  12. Neither students nor universities are a priority for this SNP Government WWW.PAMGOSAL.ORG.UK If this SNP Government were to have things their way, we would all believe that higher education in Scotland is a picture... Well mark you really need to do some research bud regarding what the SNP is actually doing up here. As for free prescriptions well in reality as the highest taxed of the devolved administrations it’s not really free is it. Everything has to be funded from somewhere unless you know something I dont. You are in cloud cuckoo land about GP access, my son recently needed hospital treatment for a gashed knee( 12 stitches and trying to get him in anywhere was a nightmare, I ended up doing a temp patch up myself and drove him from Fyvie to Huntly for treatment) I’m currently involved in campaign to keep our local cottage hospital open that the snp have closed. The alternative is a 35 mile journey to the nearest A&E.
  13. Have you actually taken a look at the SNP’s track record in regards health, education, transport, business local council interaction etc etc before making a comment about liking Sturgeon??.
  14. Mark I could have put up a dozen links bud, they are all the same I’m afraid. If you really believe Labour good Tory bad then fine. As a nation we couldn’t even stick together when MSM and politicians were taking the population for mugs over the past two years.
  15. Cash for honours: Labour hid millions from auditors WWW.GOOGLE.CO.UK Exclusive: Scotland Yard investigates failure to disclose £12m of loans as pressure mounts on Tony Blair Different name and party, same type of total twat. Nothing changes in reality.
  16. Utter rubbish, in particular the collective responsibility tripe.
  17. Small beer !!!!, you any idea of the total number of military and civilian deaths that occurred during conflicts or subsequent chaos thst those two are responsible for??. my point is more about the utter hypocrisy of the MSM and politicians etc than whom is the bigger C**T out of them all. You will have the argument to yourself bud on this one I can’t be arsed to go down the well worn forum bickering route on this occasion. I’ll not bother putting up the figures for Afghanistan.

  18. Whilst I totally disagree with Putins actions it’s incredible to see the clamour for war crimes investigations even at this stage when we have Bush and Blair still making regular statements on world affairs, both undoubtedly as guilty as Putin ever will be. The media is doing its normal thing and totally pumping the line as it sees fit as it did so effectively throughout the covid farce. I’m in contact with a few of the officers on the vessel I work on regularly, 4 of them are Ukrainian 2 pro Ukraine and 2 pro Russia. The onboard vibe was bad after the Crimea annexation and was only sorted when the vessel master (Canadian) got the whole crew together and gave a strong warning to all regards behaviour whilst onboard. Speaking to both sets of guys yesterday via watts app it’s incredible to see and hear two totally different views on the cause of the current situation, but the thing they are all agreed on is that the conflict is totally unnecessary. As is often the case take bloody politicians out of the equation and things would work out a lot better.
  19. Christ almighty still making the anti vacs comments, watching the media whip up the hysteria about Putin is not dissimilar to the way they so easily did it with Covid. Yeah you are 100% correct It works wonderfully on those stupid enough not to question a single thing.
  20. Ukraine using British NLAW anti-tank missiles to destroy Russian armour APPLE.NEWS A batch of 2000 of the missile systems, developed by the UK and Sweden and dispatched to defend Ukraine, are helping...
  21. Lo no it was a throw back from the early days of the North Sea ops Put in place to stop foreign guys “ mainly American “ jetting in and out and paying nothing in the way of tax.
  22. The one thing the past 3 years has made me is far more tax savvy than I otherwise would ever have been. The reality of the situation is that I’d imagine the recovery figures the Hmrc had for the 48 guys involved with the agency I’m concerned with post and pre and investigation will be hugely different. The days of us all working 200 plus days a year offshore are over, who wants to give nearly 50% of your earnings for the privilege of missing your families and living on a boat cheek to jowl or in sat for weeks at a time. They literally have cut their noses off to spite their face. I guess the reality of a high tax non business friendly system does eventually start to have a detrimental effect. If you want to look at one of the most discriminatory bits of tax legislation you could imagine, try finding Schedule D taxation for Divers and Dive Supervisors only involved in oil and gas exploration/recovery within the HMRC guidance.
  23. Like a lot of the most war hungry politicians, if everyone on here had actually seen active military service, or been under fire and experienced the consequences they might be a little bit more restrained. I do wonder if this situation would have occurred with trump in charge, especially with his attitude to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. It also brings into question the benefits of the so called peace dividend we often hear of.
