Originally posted by AtW View PostI suggest 40% rate of tax max, personal allowance should be available to every taxpayer - it's only fair innit.
Tax on dividends should factor in corp tax paid to the penny, then it can be "aligned" (after factoring in corp tax) with income tax levels, that would make the dividend tax rate 25%, just like in high-taxing Germany.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

Originally posted by scooterscot View PostA question that baffled me when living in Norway. A small shipping company just outside Bergen with whom I worked with casting and milling valves and other widgets for the marine world. Shipping (ha ha) stock world wide weekly. Got to be one of the most expensive countries in the world to manufacture, right? Everything about their product could have been copied in China. Never happened. What gives?! Two words: Quality & reputation. The UK has sacrificed both for a quick buck to please the electorate and shareholders alike.

I like Corbyn but...
....so does Dawn Butler.
Thicker than a thick thing.
Did anyone else catch her being interviewed on R4 last night? Before I turned it off she opined that this election was a Tory plot to undermine democracy (presumably by winning some seats from Labour), and that Labour would reverse the years of Tory mis-rule by being fairer.
Utter car crash.
