Can I just say that to me Inheritance Tax is the perfect tax - someone else pays it and when they do you’re dead! If you haven’t spent all you’ve accumulated you really haven’t been concentrating. And you can avoid it in full by marrying the one you love & leaving it all to them. Sorted.
@JR84518744@SamaHoole Him being rich is what made it work, he often said "I can just go do a couple of episodes of who wants to be a millionaire, how does everyone else survive?"
@NI_Libertarian@ClarkeMicah It’s a brilliant idea in theory but the implementation would come with an endless list of problems and would probably end up costing more than putting a man on the moon.
@omid9 I don't know who is going to win the golden boot, but the George Best award for celebrations goes to Jordan Henderson, its going to take a truly epic performance to beat that.
@AaronBastani In the 80's when there was a lot of money washing about down south there was a lot of development, old buildings torn down and new things built. Less development up north meant old buildings got a lick of paint or were left empty till someone found a use.

Imagine if a country announced it was introducing the death penalty, but only for Jews. Imagine the global outcry.
But apparently it's fine to introduce the death penalty only for Palestinians...
@owenoo@gceccles@djh84@chrisbates3@burgesshill@railnigel@clayhenry Shouldn't solar/battery reduce fuel costs for the railways as well, plenty of spare land for panels.
Also I like drinking beer on a train and its frowned upon when driving a car, even an electric one.
Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science...
The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert.
However, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years.
It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.
This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.
When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.
