Non dom policy gone.

non-dom status.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It's a non-issue, about which the lumpen masses give not one flying fart.

[Classic Jorge]

Which, I imagine, is a lot.

Don't forget, three or four percent either way could swing the whole thing.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The vast majority, very sensibly, are much more concerned with their own lives than peering over the fence at what others have got.

I enjoyed Sky News' bit on how this is going to be terrible for the London housing market

[Monty91]

Not enough?

[Classic Jorge]

[Monty91]

The only people who have a right to feel put out are the UK domiciled super rich - and I can't see you shedding any tears for them.

[Classic Jorge]

Squeeze em till the pips squeak imo

[Monty91]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Try a little compassion, man.

[Rich]

they care?

Even Labour agree with that (well, Balls did a couple of months ago).

But it's OK, because Labour are going to borrow more and spend more to put the country back into the f**king doldrums. f**king lice, the lot of them. Clueless pondlife c**ts.

[Classic Jorge]

You are aware that they borrowed more than every labour government in history combined, aren't you?

[Classic Jorge]

I suppose it depends how tight they are

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

They're getting on with their lives. Some may be clever. Some may be lucky. Some may be deeply unpleasant; but they're all individuals, and judging them by how 'rich' you guess they are is bigotry, and deeply unattractive.

[Brentwood]

money elsewhere

Same as big corporations who don't pay much tax in the UK. They can set themselves up anywhere they like.

The UK is fairly attractive for tech companies, because they can get tax breaks on R&D expenditure. I know of a Scandi company who has set up a London office because of this

[Rich]

[Rich]

They are going to increase taxes by 15billion - making work pay less and make sitting on fat, gormless, festering northern arses pay more.

They are going to leave Britain with extra debt payments of 3billion.

Competence or chaos - that's your choice.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Paying a % of higher earnings equates to paying more.

Never really understood this belief of taxing high earners so that they are no longer high earners.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Rich]

of people and let everyone have an equal slice.

f**k me sideways.

[Classic Jorge]

Obviously they didn't plan to borrow that, it was rank economic mismanagement that made them borrow all that extra money. They were supposed to have eliminated the deficit by this year, as it stands they have managed a third of that. Half if you believe their more optimistic than modd projections.

[Monty91]

talk about these matters as caricatures of yourselves.

Why do you fear talking like rational grown ups?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Any adult that has lived in the modern world will know and accept there are loads of different people with different skill sets who deserve to be rewarded accordingly.

For the record I don’t believe they are referred to as “Bin-men” anymore. Waste collection & Recycling Consultants imo.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

:redcard:

[Classic Jorge]

Do you think a bin man should earn the living wage?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

In my defence I am in full work mode at the moment – polo shirt, jeans, desert boots (as I had a meeting earlier).

It was all skill sets, issues and obstacles and then finally representative samples and positive outcomes.

Tough day.

[Berni]

they do.

This may explain why I'm a father.

[Hillary]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

No, no, I'm referring to the proposed Labour policy to do away with so-called 'non-domiciled' tax status, announced this morning by the leader of the Labour party, Mr Ed Miliband, but subsequently apparently withdrawn by Mr Ed Balls.

Wd B.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Really? Really?

[Rich]

he should be given a wage hike to allow him to lead a life of luxury.

If you have a job you should earn more than someone on benefits (who should earn nothing if they just refuse to work and have no defendants). However, you should not take money from vastly more skilled individuals in order to pay for it.

The money has to come from somewhere, and it's not coming from my pocket.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

:rescindedonappeal:

[Berni]

Tends to lead to labour in my experience.

[Monty91]

Is that not statistically quite some feat?

[Berni]

Ask your mum.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Sharp suit, tidy hair etc.

He asked if I had one so naturally I went back to my desk and got one. He commented about this exchange being good as my card had my direct line on it, so kind of awkward after a quick inspection when I told him that the number – and for that matter the address – was in fact that of our old premises that we left about 4 years ago.

The card was in fact utterly useless.

We laughed all the same, kind of.

[Monty91]

Or did you impregnate her with what I believe is known in the trade as 'pre-cum'?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

Besides which, I've actually no idea, since I've no memory of the fateful act in question whatsoever. :shrug: Still. All for the best, isn't it?

[Classic Jorge]

[Classic Jorge]

Anyway, how come you're the authority on grown up debate all of a sudden?

[Monty91]

It took the full weight of my love piss over a year to do the job

[Berni]

little jokes. I remember when I put my chaps on ice that time, the man who'd been counting them (or whatever it is they do) told me my sperm count was 'very impressive'.

Pathetically, this did actually make me feel quite good despite the fact that I'd had one testicle off and was about to have chemotherapy. :hehe:

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I liken it to asking a Great White Shark to exist as a predator on the Serengeti.

[Classic Jorge]

I talked about it in the abstract, I brought in actual facts and figures, some of which I was correcting you on, and there was also some levity.

Disagree with whatever you want but I've hardly been one dimensional and it's pretty hard to imagine I don't believe it, no?

Also, you do come off as somewhat of a political nihilist yourself.

[Classic Jorge]

This is why I'm reluctant to play away

She's basically ok, for a bird.

She endeared herself to me when a girl in the audience started making a massive tit of herself and Josie Long refused to twist the knife. No male comedian would have even thought twice...
