First point …. Fair play ! lol The second point , I couldn’t give a fig how much money anyone has got as long as they pair a fair rate of tax . When you look at the likes of Sunak and his wife and the way they circumnavigate the tax system to get away with paying a lower percentage than your average citizen it’s wrong . Amazon getting away with paying next to nothing is wrong. Tax system needs a complete shakeup. What I have never understood is why if you are the Sunaks do you need more money surely they have more than sufficient? So why make yourself a target by avoiding paying your fair share of tax just because you can,they are not breaking any laws it's just makes me feel uncomfortable. Agree completely Clive , you could add in nearly all billionaires globally. They’ve all got more money than they could ever spend in their and their kids / grandkids lifetimes yet they still want more , still try and avoid paying taxes. When I made my tenth million I decided that was enough as I’m not greedy.

Oh yeah cracking players, not even in the starting 11 for Exeter… also the stats worry me when a defensive midfielder has 0 yellow cards… does the lad tackle? I fear this lad will be pushed off the ball with his physicality! HUGELY underwhelming signings if we end up with these two. Over the years haven’t we learnt that it’s best not to judge players we sign until they actually play for us? JCH springs to mind, I’m sure there are others. Atm we haven’t signed anyone so a tad premature to moan about players we haven’t signed. UTG! Wise words Wareham !

Barnsley have released Cole and Cadden. No chance I guess? Reading up on that at it seems a few championship clubs have been looking at him . Didn’t realise he is already 29 and his goal scoring record although good this season , he’s only averaged a goal every 3 games whilst at Barnsley. Personally I’d be surprised if he gets a championship gig . Still out of our pay league though I’d guess.

Oh gawd 🙄 Are you happy with the rich getting more and more wealthy, stashing their money off sure , advocating for cuts to gov spending? Would that be sure or shore . Just asking as you do like to pick me up on mistakes. It depends at what level you class someone as being rich. I have absolutely no issues with people having wealth. (I'm not one of them, far from it in fact). If they are paying the same percentage levels of IHT, CGT Income Tax etc I don't have a problem. I just don't like the view of "You've got more money than me, that's not fair, you should pay way more tax than me". People can be asset rich but income poor through no fault of their own, so should they be forced to pay more tax? First point …. Fair play ! lol The second point , I couldn’t give a fig how much money anyone has got as long as they pay a fair rate of tax . When you look at the likes of Sunak and his wife and the way they circumnavigate the tax system to get away with paying a lower percentage than your average citizen it’s wrong .

It’s difficult, because you get the likes of Super & France parroting bullshit about how difficult the rich have it , how they pay more than the rest added up ….. then they vote for this. Meanwhile they get richer , we all get poorer and on and on it goes 🙄 You'll have to explain that one to me Yatton. When have I said how difficult the rich have it. If you're rambling on about VAT on Private School fees, which you know I'm against, you don't have to be rich to want the best education for your children and send them to a private school. Some people sacrifice a lot in life to give their kids a good education. Sounds very much like the lefty view of being jealous of people with money and don't like how they spend it. Tory Bingo ! As France brings up the wealth jealousy number and private school fees . Couple more ticked off . Just waiting for trickle down economics for a full house 🏠🙄😂

Any chance we could close a few loopholes that allow the big boys to get away with paying next to no Corporate Tax? It’s difficult, because you get the likes of Super & France parroting bullshit about how difficult the rich have it , how they pay more than the rest added up ….. then they vote for this. Meanwhile they get richer , we all get poorer and on and on it goes 🙄

Because they will . This argument is put out every time and the gullible fall for it . Fair enough I guess, we've had what is normally a tax-cutting Conservative government raising the tax burden to it's highest level in nearly 70 years. At what point should we consider cutting spending again...? The wealth of the richest 5% and especially the top 1%has grown massively in the last decade . Tax them more and don’t listen to bullshit about the laffer curve or they will move abroad etc etc

Why would they stay in the UK and pay taxes here? At some point they will start to leave and spend their money/pay their taxes elsewhere, meaning the percentage of tax has gone up but the total revenue comes down.... Because they will . This argument is put out every time and the gullible fall for it .

More...? The top 1% of earners generate 30% of the total income tax revenue - the highest share in past twenty years. Effectively £3 from every £10 income tax is paid by well under half a million people... Yes even more 🙄

Why is the London Stock Exchange losing out to the US – and can it stem the flow?
London Stock Exchange (LSE), which can trace its heritage to the coffee houses of the 17th century, is failing. The volume of shares traded is sharply declining, and some UK companies are swiftly moving to the US market.
Listing in a stock exchange is meant to raise long-term equity capital for companies by offering shares to the public and institutions. However, the gap between what companies are valued at on the UK and US stock exchanges is seen as suppressing the market value of UK-listed companies, and prompting them to look for better playing grounds.
Two decades ago, UK-listed equities accounted for 11% of the MSCI World Index, which tracks the global equity market. Now they represent a meagre 4%. Since 2020, several LSE-listed companies, including Cambridge-based biotech firm Abcam, plumbing supplier Ferguson and packaging firm Smurfit Kappa Group, have moved to the US.
Most recently, oil and gas giant Shell has threatened to do the same. In 2023, the Nasdaq raised US$13 billion (£10.4 billion) while the LSE managed US$972 million from the companies floating on it.
For companies moving to a US listing, the UK and the US standards differ. In an LSE listing, regulatory measures are stringent – companies need to raise capital and get approval from regulator the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
In the US, the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange both require companies’ initial stock price, number of shares, number of shareholders and total market value, in addition to other financial requirements. But once companies float their shares and start trading, they need to meet less stringent standards.
More than 30 companies with market capitalisation over £100 million are leaving London’s public equity markets. Thirteen companies have undertaken and completed takeover bids and 17 companies delisted.
The aggregate market capitalisation of LSE-listed equities went down to US$3 trillion in February 2024, from US$4.3 trillion in 2007, whereas the US market has grown three-fold to US$53 trillion.
So what’s behind this contrast in fortunes? Factors including high interest rates, dwindling pension funds, fewer high-performing tech companies, Brexit isolation and a lack of committed domestic investors have all contributed to the LSE’s downward spiral.

Slipping under the radar for sometime is the developing crisis in the London Stock Market. Many will think it has no impact on them and dare I say even some on here may believe it's all about young guys in braces earning massive bonuses,but it's not. It's contributes 90bn in tax and is 10% of the economy,the current move of large companies abroad is bad news also ,this is not a Brexit issue , whilst a few have gone to European markets the vast majority have gone to New York. We need to wake up,this if it continues and even Shell are thinking about it will have a major impact on everyone in the UK,reduced tax and importantly reduced investment into our economy. Brexit Exactly 🙄

Perhaps they could run a trial based on the tennis model for Hawkeye where there is a limit of only two challenges per player per set. If a club had a limit of maybe three, four or even five challenges per half then it would allow the referee to make more uncontested decisions to keep the flow going. It would force managers to concentrate on the really contentious situations rather than say when a player is a few millimetres offside which isn’t materially affecting the game. I’m sure that someone will find a way of abusing even this approach, especially after all the challenges have been used up, but don’t forget this is only to assist the referee team not replace them! Give it a few yrs and all games will be reffed by AI

It's hard to find a definite number, but it looks like London had about 19 million visitors in 2023. Yet Rwanda is considered safe because 1.4 million people visited. Remind me of your logic in that? The logic would be that if Rwanda is so unsafe why would 1.4 Million people even consider going there? Why have Afghan girls relocated to Rwanda to continue their education if the country is so unsafe. Urmmmmm….. the Supreme Court ? Keep forgetting though that you Tory types don’t believe in courts etc do you 🙄🇬🇧
