that’s only saving a few hundred million in interest compared to other lending methods. Hardly a black hole.
I think they need to be a bit careful here. At the end of the day, it's a government bond, currently holding approx £132 BILLION of OUR money. If they started taxing the income and everyone withdrew it to a high interest rate bank account, there would be an even bigger "black hole" in the country's finances!
I think before they do this there are several other low hanging fruit that Theeves can plunder - I agree it would be a big mistake for them to tackle pbsI think they need to be a bit careful here.

It’s true - post creepFirstly there’s nothing online about this. This is entirely invented in this thread. Secondly again PBs have an absolutely tiny, rounding error effect on the government finances. They’re a fun product for people who don’t want to invest properly. They aren’t propping up the UK economy
It’s true - post creepbut I can tell you that standing money earning interest does attract the tax robbing bastards so any wins are immediately spent in our household just as a matter of principle ! The rich people didn’t get rich giving anything to the taxman
Disgusting attitude TBQH. Taxes are the subscription fee of a civilised society. I’ll expect no complaints about public service quality or the number of immigrants from you if you’re a tax dodger.

If there is a "system" which has a defined scope of exemptions, etc., then i would fully expect people to be able to benefit from it as far as possible, within the legal boundaries of said system. One example is that pension contributions are exempt from income tax, so if you have savings from earnings (on which you have already paid tax) and you pay these into a pension scheme, you are entitled (because the law says so) to get tax relief on it. This is one of many ways where people can be tax efficient without resorting illegal evasion or avoidance methods. The civilised society has set these boundaries, so exploiting them is not a disgusting attitude.Disgusting attitude TBQH. Taxes are the subscription fee of a civilised society.

Now we have to carry two types as usbc is the normWhenever you buy a device with a USB charging port they no longer give you a plug. Not that many people have got sockets with integrated USB ports surely?
Well timely or what £50 winning bond todayUsing the system is fine. Having a personal ethos to take as much as possible and give as little as possible to the public purse is disgusting IMO.
Hasslehoff?The prevalence of large, pterodactyl-sized moths here in deepest, darkest Wales.
I quite like the small ones, but the big ones tend to have less awareness, and for two nights I’ve had one flapping around and bouncing off my face as I sleep.
Awakening from a deep sleep, with all that flapping and wafting, somehow it reminded me of when my baywatch poster fell on me in the night, aged 14.
I’m guessing if it was Pamela Anderson it would have been firmly stuck to the wallHasslehoff?
So you are possibly unique in being able to answer the conundrum of whether jizz is an effective moth deterrent.The prevalence of large, pterodactyl-sized moths here in deepest, darkest Wales.

After extensive field testing for almost 30 years, the conclusion is nay.So you are possibly unique in being able to answer the conundrum of whether jizz is an effective moth deterrent.

Another one that annoys me "WE are in a drought, the reservoirs are only 3/4 full!"Another fear mongering for a 28 degree day in August.

Just need your missus to wash your bits!Baths.
Just don’t get them at all. Had one today cus had a few aches and pains, but when it came to actually washing its a fucking pain. Arse slipping all over the place and takes an age to pour and be okay to get in.
Showers all day long.
Where?Apparently they've installed average speed cameras near the CBS, fuckers. I have no idea how they've calculated the average speed or how I've managed to be over 30 when sat in a line of traffic.
