Im just straightforward self- employed, no offshore trusts, etc. However, it’s easy to talk about these things but harder to legislate. Labour and Conservative have tried but it’s not as easy as you make out and I wonder if it’s maybe overdone? There has been no serious attempt to reform the tax code since the eighties. Yep. One of the biggest abuses was highlighted by the Rangers case where they were bypassing the PAYE system and paying their players by means of payments to offshore trusts and the players taking money back and calling them loans. I don’t think this was just Rangers. I think other clubs were doing the same. It took HMRC god knows how many appeals to win the case but thankfully, they won. Just shows how rotten football is at the top level! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, an SNP amendment stating "there can be no justification whatsoever to deny people in Scotland their democratic rights" if there is a pro-independence majority after May's Holyrood election passed by 65 votes to 56. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most Scots will think it's a pretty inappropriate thing for the PM to do at this time. I wonder how many staff he's bringing up with him, from an area with very high levels of coronavirus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 How much of an increase in support for Indy will result from BJ's presidential style visit tomorrow?I've just been listening to Adam Fleming on BBC Breakfast outlining the message Johnson will bring. It's all about British this and British that, as if the Scottish electorate is mendicant supplicants who make no contribution to the British Exchequer. This really is desperate, juvenile stuff and rather than ignoring it, the Scottish Government should be vigorously debunking it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Can't see it happening as the people he meets will probably be hand chosen but would love to see some give it to him with both barrels and tell him what an incompetent F*ckwit he is. Pity he has not published his schedule. Edited January 28, 2021 by Elric addition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Academically Deficient Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I enjoy the arguments of Labour Unionists. This guy joined Labour because he hated the Tories' economic policies. Now he thinks we should be subjected to them forever because....well something to do with WW2 , flags and er, reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 See when the referendum arrives, can someone please gag Jim Sillers. He must have added at least 2% to the No vote based in his 'Day of Reckoning' speech. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Well, I'm beginning to think that celebrity endorsed "don't leave, we love you" might not happen this time.

Stellaboz Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 That's exactly the sort of attitude that gets to those of us with some self respect. It's not up to anyone to "cast Scotland adrift". Fucking stuck up c**t. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been the same political entity with England for over 300 years and 'casting us adrift' is both as ignorant and reprehensible as the noxious idea of partitioning our nation state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
