I propose that hiring an employee gives him automatic share in the company he works in. 50% of dividends goes to owner and rest is divided by employees. Why stop at 10ph, when we can do so much more in terms of wealth distribution?

That page blocked most of its content, complaining that I seemed to be using an ad blocker, which I am: the most excellent Ghostery.

So I turned off JavaScript, reloaded the page, and I could read it all.

Which led me to the conclusion that the journalistic skills on display were roughly on a par with their technical mastery

I just looked at the page source - it has comments around the article

Still not worth the effort though.

So why bother taking the risk of setting up a company when you are forced to give so much of it away? I would imagine that entrpreneurs will think "sod it" I will go and work for someone else in order that I can earn dividends. Only there wont be any other businesses to work for.

I was being sarcastic. Torrys proposals are so freaking stupid that why stop there?

So we should just keep borrowing?

No.

The Govt should stop spending more than it can afford - 100% of reduction in deficit should come from cuts in Govt spending.

I'd only accept increase in tax if and only if that money went solely for temporary (and I mean real temporary) increase in support to those fired from their public jobs, strictly for that but NOT to fund Govts spending which is bribes to get votes.

Ask yourself simple question - when was the last time you've read in papers that tens of thousands of public servants were laid off? I can't think of such articles recently, maybe 5 years ago a bit, so I don't think any real cuts are actually taking place - Osborne conveniently (for him) decided to increase taxes instead. Well, might as well vote Labour now - at least they'll tax Osborne's mates too.

In this case employees will be working solely for a loss making subsidiaries of offshore companies

What a totally unbiased article.

No pensions for pensioners then.

BTW the state retirement age is going to go up a year soon so if you aren't 55+ add a year to your perceived retirement age.

No pensions triple lock guarantee to buy their votes for sure.

Budget should have been cut X% across the board (phased over 5 years to make it a bit easier) to meet spending with actual, already way too high tax income.

Pensions is a big separate question - it's a ponzi scheme and everybody knows it.

QE should have been used to fund HS2 and some other infrastructure projects - Bank of England to hold shares for those projects, possibly sold in the future - Corbyn wants that (not sure about shares bit).

I plan to retire on a beach with martini served to me by hand picked scantily clad models before I hit 45
