    I’d describe their IHT law as such. I think it’s needed in the UK more than most to counteract centuries of ingrained wealth and power that’s quite specific to us TBH.

    the point is tax isn’t binary. The tax system is usually pretty good at exempting everyday stuff. The IHT stuff will never touch 97% of people, yet gets people’s backs up based on their own circumstances. That was all. Whether something is or isn’t taxed doesn’t mean much the question is are the...

    And inheritance isn’t taxed if you leave less than the threshold. But gifts are taxable generally, with exemptions. Just like inheritance is, so the “oh ho! Shall we tax Christmas then?” Stuff doesn’t work. Just like inheritance reasonable amounts and various circumstances are exempt.

    I just like poking language police. Unless it’s important things like stopping the spread of the word “addicting”.

    I don’t think anyone is. But lots of people talking about “admitting failure” like personal ego should come into it at all. Some signings don’t work out and should be rectified as quickly and cost effectively as possible, surely?

    Can’t believe people are genuinely making the case to keep players if it’s not working out to save face TBH. Management by cringe avoidance.

    We would have said that about Chaplin as well. But we sold him cos he wasn’t working really. I don’t know what the Turkish clubs rumoured would pay TBH. I’m only mentioning wright because there’s rumours and I don’t think we’d flip in Jan, more likely next season.

    Exactly. Why has the TUC got a view on Gaza or whatever? Like i get it. Solidarity and everything. But I just wish the left was a bit better at keeping its eyes on the prize and playing its own area instead of insisting on everyone getting involved in every cause. It causes constant purity...
