  1. I'm not against reducing the deficit but the bill for welfare is just a drop. I simply see CT as the bill a business pays the country for access to one of the world's largest markets. We're doing them a favour letting them have access, not the other way around.
  2. Fortunately, the government is still able to afford cuts to corporation tax, to help those who "need it most". Corporation Tax is a tax on profits, not a tax on money leaving a company and going into someone's pocket. Reducing CT means that more money can be retained in a Company and used for growth - or just for keeping a company going while times are tough. Some of us set up our own companies, worked 80 to 100 hours per week for several years, put our houses on the line to finance it. You will not hear any objections from me to paying tax on my income but CT has always been frustrating. I hear so much on the news deriding company owners but the majority of us play fair and pay sensible salaries. For those that are lucky enough to have enough left over to pay themselves a good salary, why not, they probably put the hours in and took the risks - risks that not many others would dare to take. We have been royally stuffed by Brexit and had we not been paying much CT over the last few years would have been in a much better financial position to ride it out. It's only a couple of years since I paid more Corporation Tax than Facebook. Weirdly I wasn't able to also pay the same £35m in bonuses during that period. Maybe my "profits" were lower than those of the internet monolith? Maybe I wasn't working enough hours growing my own business?
  3. Woah woah woah -G- !!! It's not 6 years of austerity for nothing... By using austerity to drive down income of the poorest, it makes people ever more desperate to stay in work and furthers the doctrine of driving down the price of labour. This dovetails nicely with the benefit cap and the benefit freeze, both helping to reduce income and make people fearful of job losses. The best thing is (and it is soooo very clever) if they keep repeating "Brexit means Brexit" like it actually means something, they can dress up this fiasco as "the will of the people". Who will soak it up thanks to promises of some Freedom Tea Towels, £350m a week more NHS money [now redacted] and removal of the pesky EU Laws [also redacted]. Invoice: 001 1 off, pretending to stop migration Total Payable: £122bn Fortunately, the government is still able to afford cuts to corporation tax, to help those who "need it most".
  4. Turns out FREEDOM isn't free. It's a snip at just £122 bn.
  5. Having been ripped off by agents a few times, I'm totally for doing something, but why don't they just do something sensible like set a fixed price?!? Every single "fee" I've been charged by a letting thief has covered a phone call to an employer to do a job check and a credit search, total costs of about £3.50 per applicant, they could have capped the fee at £50 and still let greedy agents wet their beaks.
  6. No probs, this isn't just about your post. There are plenty of others.
  7. NOTICE FOR ALL MEMBERS If you've got a master plan to pirate/distribute TV shows or films or games or music via physical media or torrent sites or streaming or any other transport mechanism, you don't share it on here. It's come up on this thread (and others) a few times of late and though we've not necessarily called it out before, the frequency is going up. Please understand we're not naive, or bothered how you handle your media in your private lives, but do be mindful this is an open place and the posted content reflects on the forum. Should you feel the need to discuss this further, please contact one of The Team. Thanks.
  8. Unless they all came out, demanded an end to Brexit and banned combustion engine vehicles, all at once - there's nothing they could do to upset the Disciples Of Clakrson PBUH
  9. Have you cleared your browser cache? On last check we'd eliminated the file from the forum but some users were still experiencing it due to the file being locally cached.
  10. SEXY And if you recognise that last one, you'll know I'm a bit freaky....
  11. Deeply personal tracks I tend to find are fairly random songs that specifically relate to a time or event/person that I experienced but the pieces that I personally find strongly emotive straight away tend to be movie scores. Their whole construction is designed to excite, scare, relax, sadden you. Here's some of my favourites: EXCITED SAD
  12. If it's not the Mustangs, it'd be the BMW which may have required the pre-show warning "Contains Product Placement". It was a stuck on afterthought of a review in comparison to the style of the rest of the show.
  13. About time! Nice clean looking beast I might get laughed at for this but are those harnesses meant to be at that angle? I always thought they were supposed to go straight back to bar?
  14. I've experienced this when we had that recent issue with malware, suggest next port of call after MBAM is to clear down caches on your browser(s) and browse back here to see if that solves it.
  15. I don't respect articles, definite or indefinite!
  16. Better than I'd feared, there's more "acting" than usual which is only a bad thing, interesting to see what the series brings if there are genuinely "no cars" episodes. Considerably better than hearing Evans present! It's also clever how they've called it GT, which is TG backwards.
  17. They've got some decent other stuff, Mr Robot and Man In The High Castle spring to mind.
  18. This isn't about the cars, it's all about the bantz!
