In this situation, you legally avoid a greater sum in taxation than an English or Welsh taxpayer on an equivalent salary. Save more under the Scottish system! That's fine if you want to lock your money away into your pension until you are 55 or 57 (as of 2028). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 If she isn't his daughter, then I'm at a loss as to how an attractive blonde woman in her twenties managed to become so popular with Johnson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been a bit easy-osey about if the HoL should be kept or consigned to history, but this and the other crap around Johnson's honours list now makes me think the whole lot should be abolished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, you know, they’ll think about maybe actually discussing it … in another hundred years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The honours list got me looking up who is actually in the HoL. They mostly seem to be ex politicians or their aides with a random smattering of business people (ownership class), journalists, artsy types, and Ian Botham. I only got as far as C before i got bored. One business guy apparently runs a private equity firm, with £20m invested - about the smallest PE firm i've ever heard of. On further inspection, it's the biggest investor in Samantha Cameron's company. I'm sure that's not why her husband appointed him though. I'd like to see a breakdown of the members by their area of expertise. I'm willing to bet that lawyers outnumber scientists, bankers and other financial engineers outnumber social scientists and actual engineers, and parasitic hangers on outnumber useful humans. https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/LLN-2021-0002/LLN-2021-0002.pdf https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_House_of_Lords 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old dears in the shires: Doesn’t he speak well? What a terribly well-educated man. It really is too bad that that Sunak fellow stabbed him in the back. [sotto voce] But what better could one expect from someone that colour - we’ve given their kind far too much leeway and it really would be ripping to be voting for one of our own again.

What the f**k is wrong with these people? Tbf, its not exclusive to voting specifcally for Johnson or saying you would like him back. This is what it is to vote Conservative. Doesn't matter which one. You know you are voting for despicable people and worse policy but you do it anyway. All you are seeing in that poll is a split of people who want to keep the quiet part quiet, and those willing to say it out loud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 It's the same scenario with Trump but on a bit less extreme of a scale (currently at least). Doesn't matter what he does. He could slaughter a bag of kittens and tell his voters why the kittens deserved it and a large percentage would unquestioningly agree with him. The cult of personality hides the lack of actual ability. There would be no such thing as Trump or Johnson going 'too far' in the eyes of many people. One thing I could never really get my head around was the rise of Nazi Germany in making its people complicit in some horrendous things. Always struggled to understand why a population seemingly just went along with really, really sinister stuff and when you see these hardened right wing supporters, a lot of whom feel the Tories and Republicans arent currently hardline enough, then yeah, I can see how and why it happened. I still can't get my head around the rationale of these people but it's quite scary to see the world seemingly trundling down this path. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
