    General Election

    Yes. That's my point. That any further legislation from a government to try and restrict shoot to kill would be harmful.

    General Election

    How would the legislation work so that it's ok to shoot sometimes?

    General Election

    What would happen if it were made illegal to shoot to kill and policemen were faced with murder charges if they did so?

    General Election

    I'm not surprised if true. She had a golden opportunity with this election and it looks like she's blown it. I want to see a Tory Government and I can see that her campaign has been dreadful. Why isn't she explaining how devastating Corbyn's policies would be?

    General Election

    You know, back then I might have been one of the youff protesting against Barclays. Actually I'd still be against apartheid today. I understood nothing and would talk about Communism as if it were Nirvana. I distinctly remember sitting in a pub telling some friends that Russia was an...

    General Election

    And their national debt is around 40% of GDP. Corbyn inherits nearly 100% and plans to borrow more. What happens to government debt when supply exceeds demand?

    General Election

    Absolutely not. I'm just fed up with wasting time on here explaining my position in detail and you and your friends having no response (seemingly conceding); only then to go round in circles with the same tosh again a week or so later.

    General Election

    I'm done discussing politics on here. Just noting my predictions.

    General Election

    It's starting to look very worrying. Noting here my prediction for the UK economy should Corbyn get in and push through his economic policies: Immediately: GBP weakens against all currencies. Stock Market Crash - but utility companies don't fall - may even increase. Medium Term: Higher...

    How close is a takeover really...?

    I just thought of another way it would be advantageous to make a tax loss. Imagine an international company has to have an on-shore company to operate. Tax rates are high in this country, so it charges fees from an offshore company so that the on-shore one makes a loss. It then pays much less...

    Can I manage your investments please? I promise to make a loss every year, so you'll be quids in.

    How close is a takeover really...?

    Ah well, I believe that. He did it as a tax loss vehicle.

    How close is a takeover really...?

    Yeah, but that's not very 'dry' is it? Honestly, I thought the proposition so absurd that it would be obvious - not having a go. :)

    How close is a takeover really...?

    You need a sarcasm emoji. The only time that a tax loss makes sense IMO (and Old Sky Blue may know others) is when you lose money (and you never want to do that) you recognise it in the P/L immediately. So for example, if I have to buy a machine for £100 which has 5 years of use in it, the...

    How close is a takeover really...?

    An offshore fund? Well first, it's a fund - so the profits don't even belong to SISU, they belong to the owners of the fund. SISU only profits from fees, which are probably a percentage of the value of the fund. And secondly, because it's offshore, they don't pay tax anyway.

    How close is a takeover really...?

    Could you explain to me how it is ever an advantage to lose money, even if you avoid tax, because I don't understand it? Here's my maths: If the holding company were onshore and if it were not a fund (neither of which are true - but let's just imagine for a minute): If SISU were paying the...
