Reply to: So are we all moving to Scotland in April?

[woohoo]

They have midges, lots of them. So not moving there.

Presumably Scotland will also be able to change divi rate too?

Can't wait for ministrone starting paying that 50% income tax rate he thinks will never happen ...

Even if they started the 50% tax bracket at 20 grand, 99% of these sweaty jocks won't even hit that rate. The one's who will, who live in Scotland are the educated English who moved up. Country of chippy tossers.

Glasgow's pretty nice, and vibrant. Maybe you are comparing it to London? In which case no, nowhere is like London. Luckily. Although Glasgow Central is pretty hectic, always reminds me of London as you leave and have to barge through a crowd of people

I would never move there. It's just too primitive to comprehend life in 21st Century Britain 🔚

As I understand it, the Bands stay the same but the tax rates can vary. The new rules effectively lop 10p off of all the tax rates and the Scottish Parliament are then free to change them from there. They could leave it at that, so making the rates 10%, 30% etc. or add more to make it 25% 45% etc or anything inbetween.

There was a consultation recently about what people / organisations thought the rate should be, and how they should spend the extra money if it was more than the 10% and what should be cut to pay for less than 10%. I know the CBI put in a response, but I'm not sure what their recommendations were.

When you hold the view "all the Scots hate us" it's not surprising they aren't nice to you

[Dactylion]

Mind you all the nice Englishman I know are up here so what does that say?

No nice Englishman wants to know you - except those poor desperate souls that have been abandoned in Sweatyland and have lost all inhibitions.

I don't get where all this anti English Racism idea comes from.

As my late father used to say, 'I'm not bigoted, I hate everyone equally.'

But honestly, I think its an assumption made by those down south. Maybe I contract in Edinburgh too much (which is pretty multi-cultural) but some of my best friends are English... Mind you all the nice Englishman I know are up here so what does that say?

I'd have thought DP would love it there. It's nice and uncrowded, and far fewer immigrants.
