There's no point in anyone going for the rest of the season, the boffins have used their supercomputer and we finished 16th. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport...-united-championship-predicted-finish-2383605
I’d take that, although it’s obviously faulty as it doesn’t know the Leeds post Christmas collapse has started
They're clearly eggheads rather than football fans, or they'd have factored it in the tradition of them always coming down with the trimmings.
A little bird told me Hull City at this level won 5 league matches on the trot in 1907 and then a record 7 consecutive league wins in 1910. Record for the highest number of consecutive league wins at any level is 10 in 1948 - Raich Carter,Boothferry Roar and Tiger Rag days.
The tax paid by the unemployed, the disabled, the sick, asylum seekers, etc contribute more to keeping me alive than the Allams tax deductible donations.
A bit daft, Obi.An asylum seeker can't work. The unemployed are only paying taxes on purchases which are funded by the taxes of others. very, very few are not contributors. It has been stated only those earning over £30,000 are net contributors
It wasn't the point. Very few are net contributors, even those here legally and paying tax and NI. Just one tablet I take cost £412 for 30. I take a load more, some not expensive, some a fair price apart from these very dear ones. I had a period where I was in hospital over 25 times in 6 years. The ambulance was £750 to the nearest hospital to me. On top of that was all the treatment I received. Plus paramedics came to my house on more than a few occasions. There's a fair years taxes gone in just those things. I paid a fair amount t of tax when working but would still have had all that spent on me if I had been unemployed or on minimum wage paying next to no tax. Most people, me included, get more out than they put in.
Obi is one of those I have always enjoyed discussing things with. Over on CI, where things could get heated, always found you could disagree with Obi but it never disintegrated into personal insults and name calling.
The tax you paid when you didn't need the health service helped pay for the drugs and hospital visits of those that did. Just like the tax I pay helps those that need it now. Hopefully when I need it the NHS will still exist. My point isn't about net contributors,the individual contributions of the unemployed, asylum seekers, etc are more important than one man's tax deductible charity donations. In my opinion. Its hard sometimes to remember the no politics rule. CI allowed a much more civilised debate.
Asylum seekers can't work, at least not legally, so won't be paying tax. The point I was making regarding my own case is that it doesn't take much to use up the tax contributions of the average person. Even someone on £30,000 a year only pays £6,000 a year in tax and NI.
Tax includes VAT which we all pay whether we work or not. I'd also include duties on petrol, cigarettes and alcohol but didn't specifically mention duties when I wrote it.
