The Politics Thread

...........oh, another part you missed out.

"Like many wealthy men, the brothers give huge sums to charity, donating £11m to Great Ormond Street Hospital last year, and handing £3m to Alder Hey children's hospital in Liverpool last year."

Where's Kes, what's going on here ?

Where are the Unions when you need them ?

So, the low paid workers get the boot while the rich top dogs that caused the mess stay in place...

Labour, the home of Socialism "For the Many not the Few "...my axxe !

More like "[censored] the Few "

They don't give a flying fig !!

Animal Farm rewrite

So on their £3bn fortune, they earn 150-300m a year? That would be 150-300m a year after tax. VAT-free as well on your private island. And they gave away £3m. Gosh, their generosity knows no bounds. Remind me to doff my cap.

David and Frederick don't live in Brecqhou all year, partly because it is often freezing in winter. David, who suffers from ME, spends time in Switzerland because the fresh air in the Alps helps alleviate his condition. They also have a home in Monaco, where residents have tax-free status. The brother's super-yacht, Lady Beatrice,, is moored in the principality.

You would think with ME he wouldn't be such a keen advocate to shaft the NHS. Still, thanks to their employee who changed the law, the blind, agoraphobics, OCD sufferers and other mentally ill people now can't directly get a GP to support an appeal against a right to work assessment so that should liven up certain trades, long-distance lorry driving, the post. What a charming bunch of people, born in London of course.

Did you pay UK tax whilst you were abroad/nonresident Marko?

£3.0m where did you get that from ?

£17.8m from the last entry: http://opencharities.org/charities/803696/accounts

In saying that, the Jock's have never been World for their generosity.

The Scots have an infallible cure for sea-sickness. They lean over the side of the ship with a ten pence coin in their teeth.

Did you pay UK tax whilst you were abroad/nonresident Marko?

Yes

Even though non resident?How did you do that?

UK source income is/was still subject to UK tax under UK/Russian Double Tax Agreement

Not even your salary?

Which one?

Anything from anything fixed in Britain ie a farm or the British government was taxed in Britain. Anything earned in Russia, salary from business, rent, work performed for British Universities was taxed in Russia. Anything earned in cis countries was at first tax free then later taxable in the UK

You’re stealing jobs with your multiple employments-shame on you Marko!

I was involved with Raven Russia-building sheds and offices around the big cities.Come across them?

I didn't pay tax when I worked abroad but I made voluntary National Insurance payments

They owned a shopping centre. Sadko? It was very popular around the turn of the century but got overtaken by the edge of town centres. That's all I know

FAO Moderators. Laffy lowers the tone again. Please move this to Lanes Bogs thread.

It’s like logging onto a site about one of Barry’s fet nights, the unleashed forum.

This one is for you Kess. It pretty much sums up what I was banging on about a few days ago-companies need a purpose beyond making a profit ie looking after staff and customers and the wider community.

Persimmon are appalling at all aspects and this kind of report confirms capitalism in all its guises needs to adjust to the needs of all.

I can feel a balanced score card coming on.

So why do we publicly acknowledge the need for social care then vote for a party that cuts that care from the old, the sick and the genuinely needy?

Simple-most of us think that Boris is best to deliver a new care system.We don’t believe a word Corbyn says

Having taken away the right of the disabled (and everyone else) to have their dwp assessment sent to their gp Boris has now given vast exemptions to the accessibility rules on trains. Can't appeal your fit to work assessment, can't travel by train. Nothing like hurting the disabled eh? Welcome to England 2020
