I cannot win around here. If I just make a short statement without supplying a link to back up the facts, some brain dead Leftie then complains about lack of verification and tries to change the argument with inaccurate unverified non facts supplying a link to a BBC article using out-of-date information. If I make a rational explanation of a situation, some brain dead Leftie then complains that it is too long to read because they live in the world of the Woke soundbite and celebrity culture, getting all their wisdom from those intellectual giants Gary Lineker, Gary Neville and Carol Vorderman. Surely the three of them will be doing the M&S Xmas advert...
Your mistake is responding to the cluess ****wit that is only here to try to bore people away, as they are terrified in case more people see the gaping great holes in their chosen ideology. I'm sure that you could predict their responses, so just do that and don't bother responding to them when they get round to making them. Just treat it as confirmation that you are right, and bang over the target.
Why are you chucking in fuel duty and VAT that the customer pays? You absolutely know that is wrong - It's like saying that the fuel company would be charging £1.50 a litre anyway, so that's pure profit they're missing. And I pointed out the 30% + 10%, and also that they haven't paid it for years. Also that Shell didn't even pay the windfall tax, and with the tax breaks their friends in Tufton St have pressurised the Exchequer, with a combination of bribes and sinecure directorships, to not even pay that. And Shell and BP are mentioned because, after Harbour, they are the next biggest oil and gas producers in the North Sea. https://www.theguardian.com/busines...-tax-on-north-sea-gas-and-oil-for-three-years And even Harbour, the biggest producer, has still managed to rustle up £200m to buy back its own shares after whining about paying £205m windfall tax on £2.1bn pre-tax profits that had risen 700% after the Ukraine war: but still managed to pay out £1bn in shareholder dividends despite that. And on top of all that, £1.7bn of the windfall tax is an estimate that they don't even have to pay yet - if at all should their profits not stay at astronomical rates. https://www.theguardian.com/busines...ays-uk-windfall-tax-wiped-out-surge-in-profit You really do fall for every Tufton St shilled bit of ****e out there. I remember you well extolling that fellow ****wit Allister Heath from The Telegraph creaming his duds after the Truss/Kwarteng disaster budget. You're just failed dogma and voodoo economics, and the arithmetic of a remedial class dunce. Glad to be of help.
Funny you should say that: https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-...will-cost-169000-per-person-migration-asylum/ And all of that going on Tory-donating firms. Welcome to the United Kingdom Of Kleptopia.
