there is a sensible alternative, stop so much wealth finding it's way to such a small % of people and institutions. I'm not talking about punitive measures against the rich, just a more sensible distribution of wealth to improve public services and wages and standards of living for working...

you think the lady in the ticket office puts spin on things? Don't you think she wants them gone as much as us? Or are you accusing Steve of lying?

So you're concerned about financial institutions moving but voted Brexit even though several have stated in the event of Brexit they will leave Britain which it appears some are going to. And shouldn't we levy penalties against Facebook, Apple and Google if they don't pay the taxes we demand...

Your assertion that companies leave if corporate tax increases, (rockets as you provocatively put it), doesn't stand up to scrutiny. And it's absolutely nothing to do with punishing the rich it 's about living in a fair society, which in my opinion equals a safer society and a better...

sadly I agree. I want this to happen but it can't be at any cost.

the worry is that this means they want to hold onto the club? But why, it's a fucking basket case.

I'd be happy to pay more tax if it was spent correctly, education, the NHS.

I think that shows how far the country has swung to the right. I read somewhere the other day, (it may have been on this board), that in Scandanavia Corbyn would be considered left of centre.

apparently one of the facebook groups has people on it who are adamant the 4th bid has gone in, not on it myself so don't know but that's the talk at work by people who are on it.

" This grossly simplistic idea that you raise tax on the rich and it results in a big pot of gold for the treasury is just nonsense. Many economists will tell you that raising the top rate of tax by 5% won't generate any extra revenues - in fact when the top rate of tax was reduced from 50p to...

as much as I want this to happen there's no point in Hoffman paying ridiculously over the odds for it. Unfortunately I think that that is what sisu will expect.

so taxing the top earners to fund public services is 6th form economics but diverting money from public services to the top earners is sound financial stewardship? The labour manifesto is Alice in wonderland stuff but we can trust the tories even though they have failed in almost every major...

it's all gone very quiet like you say mate. I did hear a fourth bid had been submitted, that was end of last week I think, whether true or not, I have no idea.

yes we were talking about footballers, and I mentioned actors to make my point that it's only footballers who come under attack for their earnings hence it's relevance. And I mentioned politicians to make the point about voluntarily and involuntarily contributing towards people salaries, hence...

But no one ever attacks these actors earnings even though they're comparable with footballers. Why is it OK for little rich boys to earn that type of money? I was talking more specifically about attacks on footballers earnings in certain sections of the media rather than your post, that's where...

there's a subtext to this for me, people don't like young working class lads making that amount of money. Never hear anyone moaning about what Benedict Cumberbatch or Ediie Redmayne earn. If the working class lad in question happens to be ethnic the loathing and jealousy goes off the scale -...

I saw Jeremy Hardy at Glastonbury, he was OK. There was a bloke on before juggling children so that was always going to take some beating.

Look at the badge on the score board, same one as 87, all the proof I need.

I would say if people realise. The ruling elite seem to be able to get away with pretty much anything and people either just accept it or aren't aware it's even going on.
