Puggie   10 #2833 Posted October 30, 2017 A bit more topically, with our Brexit-caused move I'm getting a 20% gross pay rise resulting in a 25+% net pay rise. This differential (relative to my current UK gross/net) just shows that the UK is not such a low-income tax country as many may believe.  Try res-non-dom with nill-rate on WW income that is born abroad and pegged to the USD.  We're both beneficiaries in very different ways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
L00b   441 #2834 Posted October 30, 2017 It was always going to be that way though, possibly? Macron was voted in on a low turnout because Le Pen was too much to stomach for most French people. Hollande started off with good ratings too, before they too plummetted.It was always going to be that way, not so much due to the turnout, but in view of the expected consequences of Macron's electoral platform/program, compounded by his Parliamentarian majority at the ensuing GE: I expect that his approval ratings are dropping fast, because he is actually setting about implementing his program double-fast. Anyway, congratulations on the new job and the pay rise. It's a shame that you are leaving but good luck with it all.Thank you, that is very gracious of you. Try res-non-dom with nill-rate on WW income that is born abroad and pegged to the USD. We're both beneficiaries in very different ways Ah, so assuming you res in the UK, you don't even pay your fair share in the UK?  I shall bear my moral high ground in our future exchanges Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Magilla   510 #2835 Posted October 30, 2017 It is going to be a big black hole, tell me when they last balance their accounts? Or at least get them signed off.  European Court of Auditors signs off the EU accounts for 9th year in a row http://ec.europa.eu/budget/news/article_en.cfm?id=201610131243  So, last year......

I1L2T3   10 #2839 Posted October 31, 2017 Do you take Mr Kellner's words as being literally factual?  Well, in terms of comparing the educational profile of voters with election and referendum results in constituencies Kellner is factually correct, as was the Labour MP.  In this case facts are facts.  ---------- Post added 31-10-2017 at 08:39 ----------  Yes education is wasted on some.  Look, somebody has to pay for all the ready meals, take always, Amber Leaf and pina colada flavoured e-liquid.  And also fix you up when you’re ill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

As they have been every year since 1995.  So the accounts have been 'signed off' as having significant material errors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
