@patrickmcswain @SteveRattner @Brendan_Duke The actual cuts were 0.5% at the bottom and 1.2 or 1.4% in the top two categories. So even in % terms they benefitted more and when you take into account the multiplier effect of the actual earnings it is astronomical. But I guess you knew this.

[Graeme Knowles @GraemeKnowles5]

@patrickmcswain @SteveRattner @Brendan_Duke Lovely example of ‘lies, damned lies, and statistics’. By using the base tax rate as your denominator all you have shown is that when you pay very little tax a small reduction in your tax % is a big proportion of the % tax you are paying. No shit Sherlock!

@sm0k3_pop @toJamesConnor @SteveRattner @Brendan_Duke One of them was talking annual and one over the presidential term (assuming he leaves at the end of it). $2600 x 4 = $10,400.

Sorry that maths is confusing.

@molmutius @LeoKearse Leo! You’ve bloody set them all off! The only ironic thing here is that @molmutius seems to understand irony even less than Alanis Morrisette. Which is going some.

[Graeme Knowles @GraemeKnowles5]

@LeoKearse You seem to have bolstered James point here. Combining random swears with ‘quirky’ modifiers only works if you do it with wit, intelligence, and/or an ear for language (e.g. cockwomble). Watch some re-runs of ‘The Thick of It’ or ‘Veep’ and try again. Or maybe don’t.

@mhdksafa Hello

[Graeme Knowles @GraemeKnowles5]

@Sallyjoagain @IanDunt Just stop. This is the narrative that gets people like her victimised. If you don’t have the humanity to empathise at least have the decency to shut up.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

@SteveJFenwick @poems2022 False equivalency much? The point is about him taking what he was explicitly trying to deny others. Milligan’s was just cashing in as most MPs do. Don’t like it but not the same

[Graeme Knowles @GraemeKnowles5]

@MelWes5 @SammiePressdee the idea that women accuse powerful men of rape for money is laughable. see all the other posts on here about the amount of crap they take. If they wanted money then approaching a paper with 'my wild nights with raunchy Russ' would be less hassle and probably equally profitable

[Graeme Knowles @GraemeKnowles5]

@Tango5x5 @AndyMatteoMusic @NaomiAKlein Is there though? Firstly ‘false’ and not provable in a court of law are not the same thing. Secondly, the vicious victim-blaming approach and raking over the sexual history of the complainant is a lot to endure to get back at someone. Thirdly you offer no evidence.

[Graeme Knowles @GraemeKnowles5]

@citizenkat @SammiePressdee No. No, it isn’t. For no other crime do we look for patterns of behaviour to support/undermine an accusation.

[Graeme Knowles @GraemeKnowles5]

@PalominoOMG @Noellenarwhal @jimomics @SammiePressdee If you say ‘I consent to have sex with you as long as you wear a condom’ then it means you DO NOT consent with no condom. So yes, rape.

[Graeme Knowles @GraemeKnowles5]

@jimomics @PalominoOMG @SammiePressdee On what basis do you say that?

[Graeme Knowles @GraemeKnowles5]

@MelWes5 @SammiePressdee Then you have no idea how badly funded channel 4 is

[Graeme Knowles @GraemeKnowles5]

@Mystifeye @SammiePressdee I am not aware of channel 4 having the previous of which you speak. I call bullshit

[Graeme Knowles @GraemeKnowles5]

@TheCentPost @BengaliTigger @SammiePressdee Character (which can be who you are or who you play) is not relevant in any crime - it is odd it only seems to be brought up in SA. No burglars have their sentence reduced because they are a good sort.

[Graeme Knowles @GraemeKnowles5]

@TheCentPost @Cooperstreaming @linda_wyeth @SammiePressdee I think the point is that powerful/rich people have lots of levers to cover up wrongdoing and that makes it harder both to accuse and convict. If someone had believed some of Saville’s early accusers then many would have been saved
