If you are seriously happy with Apple paying 0.005 percent on it's European profits then you are an idiot. If you don't think it creates jobs, delivers more income tax, upskills people, lowers unemployment, grows GDP and increases quality of living then you are indeed the idiot. I prefer corporate outfits that pay their fair share of taxes in the places where they do their business, and where their profits come from. In mainland Britain, the likes of Amazon, Google, Facebook, eBay etc are essentially parasites as far as paying taxes are concerned. In 2008, in the credit crunch, Ireland as a country was busted. Their banks were bust, all those huge bubbles of property development were bust. The country was ****ed. The EU bailed Ireland out. What Ireland actually needs is a properly diversified economy, not one that relies on tax dodging giant corporations, or financial scam bubbles. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 This sort of thing is within living memory of some people in the UK. It's sneered at because we have collectively been conditioned to believe it to be fanciful by our media.I’m not sure if it would be bad idea to highlight it but I think some people need to be reminded that such revered conservative figures such as Churchill and Thatcher presided over corporation tax levels that would even put famous Stalinist Jeremy Corbyn to shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bailed out Ireland like loads of other countries that got bailed out. The UK got bailed out by the USA to the tune of hundreds of billions of pounds. What's your point ? As it stands Ireland is in a better position than the UK now and ended austerity years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC90 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The vast majority of people don't go to college/university and get HNDs. Most aren't in a financial position to take on a full time college course.Really ? A full-time HND is 2 and a half days a week for which you get a 600 odd pound per month student loan, bursary and other payments if you are particularly financially struggling. Leaves another 4 and a half days per week and 7 nights to work a part time job. Anyone can manage that if they have want to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
