Well b back 3,200 Posted May 26, 2021 Cummings tells an extraordinary story.Ā He says on the morning of 12 March, the "national security people came in" and said "Trump wants us to join a bombing campaign in the Middle East tonight". He says this "totally derailed" meetings on coronavirus and household quarantines.Ā He says, at the same time, "the prime minister's girlfriend was going completely crackers" over having the No 10 press office deal with stories in the press about the Downing Street dog. Part of the building was talking about bombing Iraq, part was talking about household restrictions, and "the prime minister's girlfriend was going completely crackers about something trivial," he states.

There were none in Swindons OP.Ā I spent time researching the points and answered them with facts. It just another pack of lies just like Cummings has asserted. Thing is, when a Labour PM lies, like Blair did, we hammer and criticise him. But not you Tories, close ranks, lash out and lie to protect lies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rock The Boat 1,329 Posted May 26, 2021 9 hours ago, horsefly said: utterly ignorant as usual.Ā The establishment of global standards for minimal corporate taxation would be a massive step in ensuring that multinational corporationsĀ stop exploiting the resources of individual countries for their own private gain at the expense of their people. As it stands the likes of Amazon get to exploit aĀ well educatedĀ and well cared for workforce,Ā without contributing anything to the taxpayer funding essential to maintaining thatĀ workforce. Only an idiot and anti-patriot would want to turn the UK into a tax haven for billionaire corporate exploiters of its citizens. The fact that this Tory government isĀ the only government out of the G7 to object to acting against this exploitation merely indicates their contempt for the people of this country. It is also painfully ignorant to think the UK could set itself up as some shoddy tax-evading island and expect other countries not to respond with measures to mitigate against such an act. The concept of a "level playing field" is always fundamental to the possibility of negotiating free trade deals, so one can kiss goodbye to any such prospect if oneĀ seeks to undercut other countries in this way. Indeed, any school-child student of economics knows that the impostition of tariffs isĀ precisely the sort of mechanism guaranteed to occur in such circumstances.Ā You've never done an honest days work in your life living off the tax payers' expense, so you are hardly one to talk.

Rock The Boat 1,329 Posted May 26, 2021 15 hours ago, Surfer said: The US Treasury is socialist organization.Ā Well thatās a new one. SomeoneĀ should tell the world banking community.Ā p.s taxes are paid on profits, not losses. Nobody is moving their business toĀ the UK to lose money, irrespective of the effective tax rate. And lower corporate taxes only means lower pensions, NHS cuts, defense cuts. Iām sure you are just fine with all of that though..... we tried this in Texas v coastal states, didnāt work out to well - surprise!Ā The US Democrat President is a socialist. Lower corporate taxes means more businesses coming to the UK, paying tax here that they didn't before, meaning higher pensions, more for the NHS, more for defence and more jobs. Just ask Ireland. And we will be taking business away from Ireland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
