@CaptCricStocks@marktilbury His claims are unquantifiable nonsense. They have no basis in fact. The 6-8% loss of gdp figure is not even slightly credible. Hence why I think he’s a charlatan. Furthermore, leaving the EU is not solely about economics. Some of us value sovereignty.
@andywatton@blackburnrovers It does impact non drinkers especially children sitting in the stands.
I disagree about people drinking too much. The game provides a decent break so that people don’t get too carried away. I think it would result in more drunken incidents.
@blackburnendpod Tony is ‘pulling up trees’ with the squad at his disposal. Delighted with how the team have performed thus far and would have been happy with this total on day three one; however, we should have more points.
Jim Ratcliffe grew up in a council house. He created a business which has paid the salaries of thousands of staff and millions in tax. You, by contrast, come from a comfortable middle class background. Your career has been in politics and think-tanks. He has done more for this country than you are ever likely to. I understand why, as a Labour MP, you seek to demonise “the Right”. But this is reductive shite.
@Robert_Palgrave How are they not relevant? You have to pay all those taxes if you want to own the home & keep it well maintained; thus, they reduce the amount of profit made when selling. Inflation isn’t a tax? Tell that to the millions currently suffering from fiscal drag!
@NickLincoln These people don’t seem to understand basic incentives. Not many people want to work themselves to the bone to have it ‘p*ssed up the wall’ by bureaucrats.
@Robert_Palgrave@julianHjessop Hi Robert,
Possible stamp duty on purchase, VAT on services to maintain your property, insurance premium tax on HI, subsidies on energy bills connected to property, council tax and then there’s the small matter of inflation which erodes the value of your gain (proxy tax).
@glen9mullan Suspect off the pitch but good on it. I can’t think of a game this season that we have performed poorly. Deserved to lose against QPR but weren’t terrible. All other games we have deserved something from.
SNP Scotland is THE world leader in devising ways of spending money it doesn’t have. Free everything. Handouts for everyone. Subsidies for every industry. Bigger salaries/more jobs for the SNP nomenklatura. Now guaranteed cash for ‘artists’ (esp. those backing the SNP). The old Soviet Union could have learned from this bunch of socialist grifters.
@rachelhudson84@Rovers@Boro Things are bad enough but this is not true. The prices are on the expensive side but they aren’t much more than my local pub.
