@JennyCumbria @wrinklescrote @spiropyran Not true. Selling your own personal items is not taxable at all. If you are selling items with the intention to make a profit as a trade, then you have the £1000 trader's allowance. Once you go over that, it will be treated as income.

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@thatsnotmine125 @drjanaway That's all expected for a Locum. The main point is that they're being treated way more favorably than Doctors whether it's NHS or not

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@thatsnotmine125 @drjanaway The advertised PA role is a clinical role seeing patients. That one is to assess people's benefit status & claims, lots reported it's a horrible job which is why they need such a high salary because of low interest. You wouldn't find a Junior Dr role that paid as much as the PA

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@plasterapplier1 It's crazy that an Advanced Paramedic or ACP would be on par with or below a PA

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@nextlevelkyle @FredlyDaMoose @chrrypm @paramore You can express your views personally but without representing the org. That's why you see business leaders give their opinions on their own account, not from the corporate account.

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@notcoolabi @FredlyDaMoose @chrrypm @paramore Absolutely, it is wrong. But if you just focus on that, you leave out everything else that's going on. Wouldn't be a fair representation of what's happening. They can (and should) personally post how they feel about it but there is no need for a political statement to the world

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@nextlevelkyle @FredlyDaMoose @chrrypm @paramore Everyone is entitled to express their opinion, is it the best option? Probably not. With complex issues, if you only cover a certain area, you ignore everything else.
To ensure you cover everything fairly is a lengthy task, why should musicians have to do that?

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@alyaaamerr @chrrypm That's completely not what's happening. A large part of the fanbase desperately want the band to speak out publicly. They are welcome to express their thoughts personally but the band doesn't need to issue a political statement

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@alyaaamerr @chrrypm Sure, whilst the facts reported for what's happening are terrible. There is more that political leaders are planning strategically. That's why we have experts on the news to give commentary. I have said there's nothing wrong with the band personally giving their opinions

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@crushcubed That's not the full story then. That's a really specific issue on such a complex matter. It wouldn't be reasonable to just comment on one thing and ignore everything else.

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@chrrypm To be clear, nothing against Hayley or or the guys from personally condemning what's going on. They've expressed their views at shows many times. But do they have no need to make a political statement.

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@chrrypm In the world of geopolitics, the issue is much bigger than what we hear on the media. Politicians have a strategy the public doesn't know. The band doesn't need to make a public political statement.

@latinaladybird @confettinoodles To be clear, nothing against Hayley or or the guys from personally condemning what's going on. They've expressed their views at shows many times. But do they have no need to make a public political statement.

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@latinaladybird @confettinoodles In the world of geopolitics, the issue is bigger than that. To world leaders, those deaths are nothing. The issue is bigger than we know. Our politicians know much more than what's reported. Unqualified individuals don't need to make a political statement

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@confettinoodles @latinaladybird I don't think they're in any harm for sharing their views, it only opens them up to criticism if they get a tiny fact wrong. I don't expect the band to know every single detail of what's going on. And yeah, it is weird for bands to give an opinion of everything going on

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@FredlyDaMoose @chrrypm @paramore They literally are, if you have an opinion and others disagree, you get hate not constructive respectful debate. That's the internet!

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@latinaladybird @confettinoodles They're not political commentators, they're a band not your echo chamber. They aren't in physical danger for having an opinion but open to criticism because they don't know the full story. None of us know the full story, we're only being told what is reported.

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@latinaladybird @confettinoodles We've seen political leaders get in hot water for having their opinion. Would you like to see Paramore be targeted for having an opinion where they might not know the fullest extent to what's going on? We don't know what's happening, we're only seeing in our media we can access.

[Quinton @FireBuzzard]

@latinaladybird @confettinoodles You realize the war is a strategical geopolitical issue not just about civilians dying? We have politicians to deal with that. What you see in the media is only the surface of the massive political iceberg. No band is prepared to know enough to put out a political statement.
