    Not at all. Changes to Corporation Tax doesn't affect the ability of businesses to make ends meet, it affects their after-tax profit margins. It would be incoherent to respond to reduced profits by reducing the size of a business in the way you described, as that would simply make it worse. I've no particular axe to grind either way in respect of Corporation Tax - it's just what you posted made no sense. It's Ok though, you're in good company on this thread.... :bandit:

    It would be more.

    And not everyone who goes to public school goes to university anyway.

    Loaf of wholemeal bread-75p
    Flora-£1
    Block of cheese-£1.50
    Bag of apples-£1.
    Bunch of bananas-£1.
    Water-free.

    Cheese sarnies and a couple of bits of fruit, happy days.

    There's a weeks work of healthy pack up for a child for just over a fiver with bread, cheese and margarine left over for next week.

    How hard is it to make sure your child has something to eat for lunch at school?

    Not very is the answer.

    I wonder what the native South American Indians of the area now defined as 'Argentina' thought about being invaded by colonising Spanish conquistadores back in the day?

    50-50- sovereignty?

    We'll if your kids are sensible you are better signing things over before it gets anywhere near that stage.
    Obviously you never know when your times up but you get the general picture.

    and Labour are lowering the rate at which Inheritance Tax starts - another form of Dementia Tax but those of low IQ who actually vote Labour, conveniently forget that

    Food banks issued 41,000 food packs between 2009/10. Between 2016/17, the number of food packs issued was 1,200,000. People using food banks can't afford food, that's why they use food banks.

    He's got some decent points though.
    I ain't had a pay rise for 4 years so I'm falling way behind with inflation running at 2.5%.

    The trouble with that means it's open to abuse isn't it.

    Maybe you should have studied sociology as well as politics.

    Some people use food banks because it's free food, nothing to do with affordability.

    A Corbyn government would be like electing the Militant Tendency, its unthinkable at anytime let alone during a Brexit negotiation.

    Labour, never again.

    If only it was that simple, dementia often creeps up on people and before they realise it and it's no longer possible to change things.

    9000 x 20% =1800
    1800 x 14 = 25,200

    are you telling me that parents would pay to put their kids through private school, for them to end up working at McDonalds?

    True that's why I put in the last bit.
    Not everybody in care homes has dementia.

    How much family allowance do you get per child?

    Is it still called family allowance?

    My point is you can feed a child for less than £20 per month when it comes to school lunches. Fact is there's a hell of a lot of irresponsible parents who spend money that should go on their kids on themselves and expect some ****er else to foot the bill when it comes to feeding their kids.
