Covid expected to cost Britain £372bn, says National Audit Office | Coronavirus | The Guardian AMP-THEGUARDIAN-COM.CDN.AMPPROJECT.ORG The reason we are heading towards a period of taxation equivalent to post WW2 is plain and simple. Yet the bickering over trivial bollocks is so easy to initiate. Back to the original the question in the post !! 🤔I can’t speak for others but as I’ve stated I have cut back on time away from home ( to the point right now of taking myself out of the loop work wise for on the books paye gigs up to April) and chasing more and more work offshore or overseas, 100% solely due to the amount of taxation above a certain ( not massive ) figure. I’m not wealthy or living in a rent or mortgage free property or anywhere near retirement age but there comes a point when you do wonder is it worth it ??.

To convenient J I look at it in very simple terms ie what the situation was pre and post covid measures 🤷‍♂️For me it’s utterly obvious we have endured higher oil prices per barrel than this for starters and brexit was not yesterday, yet here we are not surprisingly after printing and giving away billions in a right old mess I’ll be the first to admit politicians of all parties at min are generally an uninspiring self obsessed bunch with a few notable exceptions.

I couldn’t agree more with the comment made on LI Those who clamoured for it and bought into the bullshit should hang their heads in shame.

Two million face paying 60pc income tax APPLE.NEWS Anncouncement comes as the top rate threshold is reduced Regardless of what anyone says any system of taxation that results in 60% of a persons income beyond a certain point being taken by the state is utterly flawed. Long term it will do nothing but reduce tax take. I listened to Hunt during his statement and did wonder about the unimaginative dull logic of his attempts at reducing inflation and this insane obsession with GDP and growth.

It’s not even at the 100k plus levels that this mentality is starting to prevail. Up here in Scotland you hit the 41% bracket at just over 43k stick on 9% NI and half your wage is allocated to the fools to squander. Throw in a few huge visuals over the past couple of years emphasising the utter incompetence of governments ie asylum seekers in hotels, furlough , lockdowns, constant net zero drivel,vaccine spending etc etc and all of a sudden you hit a point where lads ( especially self employed/freelance such as myself) are thinking “ bollocks to this” . I know several including myself who this year hit a certain point and took a step back, probs at a cost of 15-30k ish per man to the Hmrc. The decision was taken to spend more time with families etc rather than keep working. The tax take up here has actually fallen since Sturgeon upped the 40% rate to 41% and dropped the level at which it kicks in to 43k. As Andy says it is nothing more than the politics of greed and envy at play. What we will see I think is the gradual realisation that there is a limit to how far you can squeeze those with the “ broadest shoulders”. I myself having just concluded a 4 year hugely expensive and stressful Hmrc investigation will never ever go back to the chasing 250 days a year offshore mentality and consequential tax bills, an own goal by Hmrc of which they are scoring many that I know of first hand.

2 years of utter self destruction and insanity perhaps. Wholeheartedly supported, indeed more was demanded most of the time by all those of the opposition parties now crying about the measures required to pay for it 😢.

Higher taxes look to be here to stay, says IFS APPLE.NEWS The Institute for Fiscal Studies warns households are in for a "long, hard, unpleasant journey". 🤔

Next time you hear a politician lying about renewables and thousands of green jobs just remember the reality is totally different from the prepared bullshit script they spout. The sheer fact we are an island nation should be enough for anyone with an ounce of common sense to see the benefit of a strong merchant fleet.

Had mine in and chassis replaced, they swapped out a good few components/ brackets and fitted a new exhaust at the same time. The remainder was coated with a heavy type of underseal. Total time it was with them was 13days, 22 plate Ranger wildtrack was dropped off as a replacement when they collected mine “ sadly not the new v6 model”

Hard to say or give specifics at this stage but my gut feeling is that it won’t go unanswered. In particular with it being the Poles.

Poles hate the Russians with a passion, I’d say there will be some form of a reaction.

It was just thrown in on ITV news as a breaking story.

Mark I was in Glasgow a few weeks back and apart from the utter squalor of the place the one thing that stood out was the amount of immigrants in particular Sub Saharan African, large gangs hanging around and contributing zero to our society. This is not the multi cultural paradise we are told, it’s more like a multi racial cesspit. What really bothered me was the way they behaved when my 13 year old daughter was with me, you didn’t need to speak whatever language it was to get the undertones of what was being said or what the leering was triggered by. God knows how young women feel like when alone. Something needs to be done sharpish and to hell with pc or what the bloody EU thinks.

As far as I’m aware you are not an illegal immigrant, so it’s not really relevant in regards what or how you do anything. You picked me up for the use of a particular word. The fact is the system is a joke and so many bleeding heart LIBERALS would open this country up to any old shit in the name of political correctness.

I wasn’t bickering, you pulled me up regarding the definition of a particular word, and sending them straight back or not landing them absolutely bloody does cut it. We have become a liberal, woke soft touch with an ever diminishing ( probably intentional) sense of pride in our country and traditional work ethic and values.

They are not asylum seekers and the word invasion is and was applicable. I don’t care why it was used but the system is a ****************ing joke when people including those arriving from safe countries are being processed without question by a system costing billions to run per year.

Yes I have and it’s definition has been posted on here recently. What do you call 40000 illegals this year alone breaking the law and crossing the channel to then bleed the far too generous and lax asylum system ??

Madness 🤷‍♂️

Channel migrant crossings surpass 40,000 after 972 made it to UK in mass launch yesterday | UK | News | Express.co.uk WWW.EXPRESS.CO.UK Government figures confirm the number of migrants to cross the English Channel this year has... 972 in one day, the word invasion was 100% the correct term to use. The fact that millions of hard earned tax per day is being poured into keeping these illegals is just insane. If I break the laws of this land I suffer the consequences rather than being housed for free and allowed to milk a ludicrously profitable for many concerned asylum ( the enclosed pic shows the predominant age and gender of whom are carrying out these illegal crossings) system. We have Hunt talking of balancing the books by taxing everyone more !! How many hard working people have to pay tax to fund the nearly 41000 so far this year ??.

Woodlands have an electric raise and lower retro fit kit for sale but not sure if it’s available over here yet. There’s a guy on you tube who’s adapted an electric Jack and some winches to good effect. I’ll see if I can find the link

Media seemed to get bored with the hunt for her quite quickly when she brassed up to the criticisms, I think the fact she had the nerve to tell it how it is ie use of the word ‘invasion’ etc went well for her.
