Off Topic The Politics Thread

And how exactly does Starbucks google Cadburys etc get away with not paying taxes
Close the ****ing loopholes
Make them pay what is due in each country

 

It's an absolute disgrace and makes a total mug of us all who pay taxes.

 

Couldn’t put it better myself, Bob.
Those ****s are laughing at us and roll out the same old line that if they had to pay more taxes then they would **** off elsewhere.......**** ‘em....they are taking the piss.

 

If they're not going to pay taxes then they can **** off for all I care. I bet their employees pay tax!! Bit of a dilemma really cos I ****ing love Cadbury caramel

 

And apparently (don't know how true) Trumps visit cost the taxpayer £18m ?!?!?
That's a small percentage of what cadburys tax bill should have been!! Bastards

 

On the Saturday he was here I had a job in the flats next to the embassy off Nine Elms Lane at 7.30 that morning, there were already at least 15 riot vehicles with about 100 riot police sitting around with the road entrance blocked, he wasn't due till the afternoon and there was already a helicopter floating about so with that much overkill it's no surprise...

 

That's hardly trumps fault
Would have been the same had Hilary won

 

Not saying it's Trumps fault. I'm saying that we, the British tax payer stumped up for it while it could have been adequately covered by just one of the many big corporation tax bills.

 

Funny they post the Trump bill.. What about the Saudi or Obama? I can see sometimes why Trump has a gripe.

 

We'd have been better off with Arlene Foster negotiating. Tough nut, she'd have had Barnier and Jean Claude Drunker eating out of her clenched fist!

 

Yeah God knows how much they've all added up to!!

 

18 million just to stop a few would be Citizen Smiths kicking off I do agree with your other point though.

 

There’s a protest tonight outside the Natural History Museum against the Saudis.....are any 606 ‘s going ?

 

I'll be there in thought.

I take it you won't be going on the People's Vote march next week with the Metropolitan elite?

 

Thing is looking at the bigger picture. A trade deal because of the visit will bring in more money, that is if we are ever allowed to leave.

Only if Trump was there!
On this £18M thing for Trump...I think we are missing the bigger picture. We looked after him and get a great Trade deal worth a lot more than £18m...If we are allowed to make deals that is?

 

Will they be serving Prosecco and cucumber sarnies .
If not the stink of middle class hypocrisy might be too overpowering.
Power to the (Real) people !!

 

on another note I hear some Russian rocket failed today and they are launcing a 'criminal investigation'. I wonder how long it is before we start getting blamed? I am sure some of our comrades will start pointing the finger.

 

I hear Charlotte Church is flying in on her private jet to discuss 'capitalism"

 

I can’t wait to hear the likes of Bob Geldof, Tony Bliar and Richard Branson tell us commoners how thick and racist we all are

 

You know as well as I do that there was a lot more to it than that!
