I doubt he makea much use of our services tbh. Not that it is relevant. I agree they should pay fair taxes. We might disagree on what is fair though. I dont think we should have an abundance of wealth taxes as in my opinion it will cost more than it earns. Sticking with Ratcliffe. Like many succeasfull businessmen he has his philanthropic interests. One is called the forgotten 40 which I liked. It is about targetting child poverty. Ineos gives schools £20k p.a. for 3 years in some of the most deprived areas of the country. Money goes straight to the head to use as they wish. Maybe the donations means his company pays less uk tax? But in my opinion these sorts of schemes are worthwhile because some are getting very meaningful help. Without central govt dictating how you must spend the money. Sweeping additional taxation of wealthy and successful business folk will have unintended consequences imo. We need to tread the line carefully.
Fair enough. All I would add is if these wealthy people paid fair tax we would have decent public services and there would be less reliance on charities to provide needed services. Same as the royal family He probably spends a fortune paying accounts to avoid tax and then on his philanthropic efforts. if I was as rich as him I’d pay fair tax and be philanthropic. Mind he is wasting his money chucking good after bad with Man U.
Then if labour looked at the spend on migrants they wouldn't need to hit pensioners so much a recent investigation found that they are supplying vapes for free that is for just one centre , in an area it comes to a total cost of millions, there is nothing under the UN convention saying we need to supply vapes
