    I think some of the licence codes were removed when they changed them to plastic card style, but I'm sure you are right and you can still drive that stuff. My lad hired one of these motorhomes one time, I can never ever remember him driving anything bigger than a saloon car, I didn't say nowt though, no point in putting negative thoughts into his head. 3.5T and Minibus is the biggest I've ever driven privately, so no problem for me. I did think about going for my HGV in my younger years, but glad I never, it's so ****ing boring driving countless miles on motorways.

    Cool.

    Schools are crumbling and kids have to wear coats in classes.

    The police are everywhere, crime is ****ting itself.

    The waiting lists for NHS treatment is a fuking disgrace.. Unless your an illegal migrant, then you get fast tracked into a ward quicker than they can chuck a white man In jail for hurty words on Facebook.

    You can see why I avoid that tax bullshit as much as I can <laugh><whistle>

    War has always been the same mate, so it's not just exclusive to Zelenskyy. All you are witnessing is general human traits of madness, it just happens the cameras are pointing in Zelenskyys face at the moment. I don't even really think about the money side of it, although yeah it costs billions, I'm more concerned with the kids who have their whole life in front of them being forced onto some frontline. **** off you mad bastards, if you want to go kill someone, do it yourself.

    Nothing so far that Labour have done has shown me thier agenda is any different to the tories.

    They could have made some really
    "difficult decisions"
    Like stopping foreign aid, saved billions by not handing it to Ukraine. Not housing illegal immigrants in hotels at a cost of 8m per day, paying the French to protect our boarders when we actually have an army with boats and guns... yknow

    But those "difficult decisions" won't help thier corporate ladder climbing after they inevitably fail in government.

    Rubio their secretary of state was discussing how it was a **** up today

    which means they've probably had a crisis meeting about it and someone will lose their job as a sacrificial lamb cos yesterday they were saying it wasnt a **** up at all.

    That Reeves comment in retrospect wasn't the best. But I was just trying to compare her to the likes of the City coke sniffing boys who gave zero ****s about anything but their own pockets

    Anyway, as for deluded fairy tale quips, bro you think Muslims are taking over the country, wildfires are started by direct energy weapons and ****in Project Blue beam is real

    I agree about simplifying the tax system, and a robust income tax system would see everybody pay accordingly. I would just add though that for corporations who base their HQ in offshore tax havens, there needs to be a system where income made in the UK is applied to them at our rates, not an overall tax that they can pay at a massively reduced rate elsewhere.

    I also think that if you're seeking to generate taxation through special measures, like a wealth tax, then that needs to be ringfenced from the off. So the Govt could say we are putting a 2% tax on assets over £10m and it will generate £50bn which we are going to spend on building hospitals. That sort of thing would be very popular with the electorate and would just be a very good way of spending that sort of bonus tax revenue.

    I didn't know that betting earnings aren't taxed as income, does that go for individual punters winnings as well as the profits for betting companies ? Would seem like an obvious loophole to close.

    Been a while since I put down a bet, but you used to pay the tax on the stake.

    ... or on the winnings if you hadn't paid on the stake ... but it's now tax free for punters - tax burden from 'gaming' shifted to 'bookies' who pay 3 different types of gaming tax, depending on what their 'offerings' are ... e.g traditional in shop, terminals in shop and on-line ...

    You used to be able to pay the tax on the amount wagered or on any profit made.
    By paying it on the stake automatically stopped it being paid on any winnings.
    They stopped it when Internet betting came in, as places such as Hong Kong charged no tax, so the industry in this country was in a big decline.
