Its another game altogether and one Im not entirely versed in how they operate. You use their product on-line and because you have a UK IP address the revenue you generate looking at their adds in the UK creates a profit for Google that should be taxed in the UK? Something like that? So yeh, tax them more. What would be the repercussions though? I dont really know? Adds that last not 30 seconds but build in multiples to cover their tax bill. No thanks. And to pay for what? Its user generated anyway, nothing physical has been exchanged and I certainly have not bought any products. Your drive to tax everything to death would result in nothing other than more misery for the ordinary person.

How would that help the folk working in Starbucks if no one is shopping in Starbucks? But I agree, these leeches should be paying their far share in tax. Off-shore accounts should be banned. But if you make Starbucks pay a fair tax and then their earnings drop could they recoup the losses through increasing the cost of an already inflated coffee? Not these days. So if the profits are marginalized and they pull out of the UK for better margins in emerging markets where do all the workers in the whole chain get a job? Yay, Labour and communism. Its a broken dream.

I understand how it works. I get my taxes prepped for me each year and Im talked through them. Those figures include the personal allowance. So as I say, trickle down is alive and well.

Its what I do. Only little sheep live their lives in fear of the boogie man. Want a Blankie?

Even a simple search shows how far out you are here. Someone on £100k pays £33,461 in tax and NI. Someone on £25k pays £4,462 in tax and NI Now, I suspect maths is not one of your strong suits but even you can see 4 x 4,462 does not add up to 33,461. You'd need 7.5 £25k earners just to pay the same tax as a £100k earner. Not to mention all the perks and benefits a £25k earner gets on top of their meager earnings.

I never once ,mentioned a left or right agenda, I certainly never mentions anything Leftie or righty. So, what to do next? Well, now you mention the left and the right I've repeatedly heard from the left leaning mob that trickle down economics dont work. Well sorry sunshine, but clearly they do. Higher earners seem to be keeping lower earners in a job and seem to been propping up the economy. Unless Ive misinterpreted it all and the City Centers are all doing ok without the high earners/tax payers? Id have to look into your figures on the £25k and £100k earners. I suspect your looking purely at what they earn and pay as a PAYE and forgetting about what the £25k earner gets back in 'benifits' .

I was not trying to echo your own sentiments.

Maybe we should have a clap for the office workers if they go back to the office? Seems like they'd be saving the UK to far greater degree than the NHS with their 4 hour commute, sky high tax and what they spend in the city center. Seems like the 1% are are not only propping up the economy with their tax flow they are also keeping the Oiks in a jobs as well. Instead of ostracizing the higher earners its about time they where given the recognition they where due? This 'crisis' has inadvertently exposed this. But instead the MSM is begrudging them for not wanting to get back on the rat wheel for no reason other than to keep a sandwich worker in a menial, minimum wage job that the person who's no longer buying the sandwiches is ultimately subsidizing anyway. Its hilarious. I love it though, it exposes this failed pinko commie system we have for what it is.

Its not just the UK government thats not got a clue. Im in Quarantine in a hotel in Stavanger. The hotel still has regular guests. Im allowed to go to the bar and order a beer. I grab a coffee in the reception area along with all the other paying customers. Its mad.

Your daughters the same age as my second oldest daughter then. My oldest is 19. We thought we'd start again for some strange reason. Best decision of our lives I think. I have either forgot the joy of spending endless days with little ones or I simply worked to hard when I was younger the first time and was hardly in the country to appreciate them.

She is. Not sure if thats from me or her Mother.

Hope so too. Im sure she will. Nothing like muddy puddles, wiggly worms and playing with the ducks and chickens to take her mind off of it though. Oh, and fresh veg. [emoji3]

Was for my 2 year old. Shes getting horrendous eczema on all her joints. Its heartbreaking really. Scratching day and night till she's bleeding. Its really painful when applying the cream so she fights it all the time. Gone are the days I'll be needing any special cream. Hemorrhoid cream maybe one day?
-
I don’t drink down the local much these days. Always an option if I’m needing my fix though. I swear my town Center is getting worse. Seen two methhead fights outside and within the local Chemist getting a prescription for me daughter the week before. Had to go to the chemist three days on the trot for some cream and was blown away by the utter scum that have now made the chemist their second home.

I’m just pissed off JK’s been cancelled. Was the highlight of my mid-morning viewing.

Never miss an episode.

Bloody hell. I cant stand that woman on Lose Women. Cant stand the show full stop. But yes, I agree with her here.

if you have a level workshop floor then you're laughing. I zero'd my saw horses in with a Spirit level to ensure it was all 100% square. so you're free to flip the board over once planed to get the board completely square.

I know. Thankfully he's got be on block so he'll never find out. -
What Les says makes sense. I milled a few Oaks and ended up with a lot of nice Slabs that would have otherwise have ended up as firewood. Been selling the Slabs for £120-£150 each (green) and they are not huge. 24" wide, 2.7m long and 2-3" thick.

The Deep throating bit I assume?

What you're trying to say is even a broken clock is right twice a day. Im certainly no Conspiracy Nut and the post earlier about Jesuits really made me cringe. But some of what has been labeled as Conspiracy Nut Theories in the past have in recent years with the likes of Wiki-Leaks have been proven to be more truth than fiction. The issue lies in grouping wild Flat Earther, Moon Landing conspiracies from lunatics in with legitimate ones which you could say intentionally muddies the waters. Id sooner listen to someone who questions everything than questions nothing and swallows everything they are told though.

Yeh, there is no way you could do this to yourself. Ive seen US Army guys getting their heads held whilst getting 5-6" if the swab rammed back there. The guy after me has his nose gush with blood during and after.

This morning I had to take the Nose Test. That was horrific, really really not looking forward to taking that again on Monday.
