Quality is a subjective cliche that people like you trot out to give integrity to weak arguments

And anger is one of the first symptoms of a lost argument.

The new Apple development team:

You strange person.

Given we don't currently "have" Apple, attracting 10,000 professional jobs and the multiplier effect that they have on the local economy looks a better move than not doing it. Attracting more companies and getting more people out of the claiming cycle and on to the tax-paying cycle means that there will be less money needed for public services.

Yes a race to the bottom. That's the way to win.

Collecting less tax means less money for public services. Yet on the other hand you'll claim Britain should follow the Norway model.

Moving from short-term to long-term planning is going to be sh£t shock for the UK.

Is that Apples new marketing slogan?

If it was an apple slogan, it would be written in a new language....

Competition starts through quality. Something winners do, I won't worry about it.

Strangely enough it was the UK at the front of bailing them out

When we leave the EU we can set corporation tax as low as we want and bring in jobs. Lots of them. I believe our government has already mentioned that to Apple.

Easy. What the tax authorities say is the proper amount, you filthy tax avoider.

If Apple wanted favourable tax status they should have set up camp in Switzerland.

And Ireland could get themselves in a pickle quite quickly, I seem to recall the EU bailing them out very recently.

Wow, is it too late to get on the EU gravy train?

You wonder why most of the House of Commons wanted to remain?

Then you get asscretin and the like wanting to stay and fund these sycophants!

[woohoo]

Oh come on, he's not like the other Champagne Socialists milking the £350m per week we cough up out of our hard earned.
