    Osborne's going to cut Corporation Tax by 5%. Whilst that's good for Stan Ltd, the tax shortfall will need to be made up elsewhere. I wonder who the Tories will target...?!

    Given their recent accuracy, I would have thought the pollsters would have kept quiet for a while.

    What that survey doesn't address is, how many thought that the EU needed reforms, but thought it better to do that from the inside.

    Anecdotal, but with the support of the referendum outcome, I think it's reasonable to claim that a large majority are unhappy with the current structure and decision making process in the EU. Some felt that was better dealt with from the inside, despite all the evidence pointing to that being very unlikely.

    Probably the same place they'd have targeted if the companies left and we had a bigger shortfall and additional unemployment. Perhaps the shortfall will be made up by companies coming here.

    After all, if we're just imagining, why not choose a more positive version?

    Cutting Corporation Tax won't attract companies here, it will still be cheaper to be in Dublin which is in the EU. It might help keep some companies here though.

    So work harder to pay more taxes then. <laugh>

    This was a long term plan by Osborne anyway, also same around the world, business can move HQ very easily, we the people dont generally move counties, so get hit on tax rises.

    I'm not going to take credit for ALL of the sensible posts. There has been a split in the posts in the same way as there was in the voting. I wonder if anybody still thinks I want freedom of movement?

    The colour of a Europeans skin is nothing to do with the entire premise of freedom of movement, you've come up with a thought process that is quite bizarre and nothing to do with reality.

    We had more immigrants from outside of the EU than from within in it in 2015 btw.

    You misread or more likely misunderstood my post. Cutting Corporation Tax is good for Stan Ltd.

    This is going to drag on for years, most likely.

    I see there is now a legal challenge to stop any PM invoking article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty without a debate and vote in parliament.

    You've had to reinvent my reply to something I never argued in a desperate attempt to not be wrong again.

    You're rubbish at this. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I know what you said, thats good for, you, so by getting more business, you pay more tax, so that would help make up the short fall.

    What's wrong with that if it squares the circle of paying for what you get, or getting what you graft for, whichever way you look at it?

    It won't help attract more business but it will mean that I won't have to work as hard to make the same amount of money.
