Why? They could have the equivalent of a PA so no tax paid on say first £100k of revenue and even after that you only need to increase prices by 1 or 2% to allow for the tax. Plus costs for both the business and authorities go down because it's far more simplified and you don't need to have a...

If only there were measurable things to try and work out why this might be. Like levels of absenteeism due to illness or mental health, and then mark these against, I don't know, cuts to mental health services or real term cuts in health spending. And then how that snowballs as those left are...

I think the tax threshold should be set at the average cost of mortgage/rent+energy/utilities+food. These should be the basics needed to survive and so you shouldn't pay income tax if you can't afford these, especially in a system whereby you will be paying some level of VAT on those...

And also they're getting rid of a parking lot to build units

Seems you can :)

As long as they don't only sign players in basques. That would be one hell of a kit!

And if the US invaded Greenland they would have no chance either, so I guess you'd be quite happy for that to happen so the US can get what it wants through aggression.

They said squad, not first team squad, and as they're contracted players they count.

I knew that would be your response. To which the answer is it's someone's money isn't it? And they'll almost certainly be a taxpayer as well, so they are ultimately wasting taxpayers money then aren't they? Instead of these businesses wasting this money on their expenses which will ultimately...

Of course when this happens in the private sector it's not called wasteful, it's called providing jobs elsewhere in the economy through 'trickle down'.

But we don't get that choice do we. Because they love the attention they've become the unofficial 'face' of the fans in the media. Like that prick with the bell at Portsmouth. Now I don't begrudge them that, though for me it's about watching the game not getting my face on the telly - if they...

Of course I'd like more of it to spent on frontline stuff, accepting that backroom staff and logistics are absolutely vital to making such a huge organisation run smoothly and efficiently. Just as you say it's lazy to blame Brexit it's lazy to go with the trope that government and the NHS in...

Considering tickets are supposed to just be allocated as they come out it's incredibly lucky that they seem to get to the front of the queue at exactly the point where the equivalent seats to where they sit at the CBS are the next available. Unless you're saying that at the ticket office you get...

Allen, Bell, Burroughs, Howley, Obikwu, Paterson, Ryan, Tavares, Tyler. Probably some of the young academy graduates too but don't have their contract expiry dates.

I have once seen them getting let in through one of the large exit doors while there were large queues waiting at the turnstiles. Didn't even bother going near the queues - just walked right past and towards the exit. Could be a number of reasons for that but definitely came across like they did...

Northern relative to what?

But if Russia left Ukraine immediately then we wouldn't have to spend money on helping Ukraine. So if in fact your problem is the cost to the UK taxpayer and the impact on businesses surely top of that list for the easiest win is Putin stopping invading is it not? Just because he's a...

But how long before the next one starts? Ukraine surrendering just emboldens Putin to take more countries. Should they then capitulate too? And at what point should countries stop surrendering? If he ended up working his way across Europe who should not give in in order to stop the conflict and...

It's quite amazing to see you write about bureaucrats and regulators will not bring growth when the very paragraph above you set out how bad the Labour govt is doing in terms of growth etc when they've been getting rid of a load of them, so we can safely say getting rid of them doesn't bring...

Could be some good players becoming available....;)
