    Biden attempting to tackle international tax avoidance

    Companies do R&D if it’s beneficial, same as hiring staff, same as anything else. Also money spent on R&D is, by definition, not profit. No business owner sits around with a pile of cash at the end of the year and thinks “Oh I’ve got too much, I’ll spend on R&D for the benefit of humanity”.

    It’s a game and supposed to be entertaining, and I think everyone accepts that means a relatively level playing field. I’d be happy with a much tighter absolute cap rather than a percentage. Too many loopholes and dodgy dealings that anything else means the status quo. It also stops one or...

    Can’t imagine how the Queen is feeling. 75 years with someone then they’re gone. Sadly wouldn’t be surprised to see her go soon, my Nan deteriorated after my grandad died.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Mate. The NI situation was clear from day one, it’s basic logic: you can’t be in and out the EU at the same time. The “tech solution” was never a real thing, it was a nonsense brought up to get rid of people pointing out the glaringly obvious. From day one of us talking about leaving the SM...

    Biden attempting to tackle international tax avoidance

    “If you don’t give this large corporation tax breaks they might not spend their money on X good thing” is trickle down theory. It’s always wheeled out when business is asked to pay fair tax and it’s always nonsense.

    And that’s why patents and research tax breaks exist. It’s nothing to do with CT. we haven’t had an explosion in research since we slashed CT rates. Can’t believe you’re arguing for trickle down economics TBH.

    Biden attempting to tackle international tax avoidance

    Yeah everyone who disagrees with you is in it for the likes iamverysmart. If you want to be taken seriously you need to look at the facts rather than the theory. Corporation tax levels do not correlate with either R&D spending or overall market performance. If you think they do, show some data...

    Biden attempting to tackle international tax avoidance

    Not sure how pensions are affected, surely it’s the fund managers job to move investments when the market changes. “Pension funds” is always the last hiding place of people that just don’t want to rein in corporate power. Same for R&D TBH. See very little evidence corporations effectively do...

    More points than our last championship season

    Would be a weird deal where the player plays three quarters of available games and doesn’t trigger the clause. Only six players in the squad have played more games than Sheaf.

    Two were JSBs so sorry you’re getting Hyam on an extended deal. Yeah “you lot”

    Pask is better than Hyam

    But that’s because we’ve gone from 3421 to 5311, because the defence/GK is poor and can’t be left alone to handle the defence so they need another five players helping out.
