Trucks driving around isn’t a hugely attention grabbing stunt. Dump the rotten fish....at the palace door...that will get the attention Might not be as attention grabbing now but they should be sneaking in and hiding fish in toilet cisterns and behind radiators and the like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 The lorries protesting in London today were mostly representative of the live fish export industry ie crabs and lobsters predominantly. These are not Brexit voting trawlermen and most of the creel fishing community were firmly anti Brexit as they saw this coming a mile off. To see the police deployed to stop and spot check the lorries for any defect they could find was just pathetic (reported now on STV news) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a vote against Brexit that didn't happen because he's selfish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 On 15/01/2021 at 01:47, Carnoustie Young Guvnor said: Yeah. What's coming is a low tax, low wage, deregulated dystopia, virtually vanishing of the middle class and a two tier society. Those in the bottom tier, which will be about 80% of people, will be increasingly unhealthy, life expectancy for them will decrease (in the last ten years under the Tories for the first time in modern history life expectancy has gone down) and they will have increasingly poor levels of education and things like foreign holidays will once more become something only the rich do. We will be using all sorts of chemicals and pesticides banned by the EU as they are harmful, our media will become increasingly right-wing, we will be fracking and embracing nuclear power and nuclear weapons. All this will be masked by a mixture of propaganda, an increasingly stupid and docile population who are too busy and tired from their 60 hour work week for a pittance to even understand what is being done to them let alone resist it and a rampant overt aggressive nationalism will become the dominant political paradigm. Our NHS will be sold off bit by bit, by stealth and piecemeal, hollowed out to the point its just a basic service, and anything else not nailed down will be sold off too. Tertiary education will go from the position it is now ie the norm to the pursuit of only the elite and wealthy. This is what we have to look forward to now, after we get over the two hundred thousand Covid deaths and the worst economic damage of any developed country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say they can generally wiggle out of it if they're big enough, but that's not the case for SMEs which I think he is thinking about when saying that here. Tell you what, you could justify all sorts of skulduggery and exploitation under that umbrella. We're already anybody's for a seven-figure donation to the Tories - another four years of this shite and we absolutely will be the Caymans' meteorologically-challenged equivalent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the literature about multinationals and their tax preferences suggests that they look for stability and predictability more than the headline rate. The headline rate still matters but 1% or 2% won't make much difference. This government already showed its capricious nature by cancelling a planned cut at the last minute. I should imagine that, even though it wasn't tax, the proposal to ignore an international agreement would have caused a lot of concern. There are lots of uk rules that international structures rely on (no tax on dividends or most share disposals + some lax rules on overseas income). These shambolic jokers can't be relied on to leave these alone or even give suitable notice of any change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
