Farmer Saint

Man who wants to emigrate at some point in the future (probably when Labour are not in power), wants to emigrate. Is he talking about next 3 and a half years, or after that? If next 3 and a half years he was emigrating anyway, so we should definitely tax him. Interesting that his business won't be moving though, so his assets will still be here and taxed. If he is that worried btw, it's already too late, the budget is next week and there is no way he'd be able to get his money and assets out of the country that quickly and easily. Again, any financial advisor worth his salt will be telling people to stay put and just see out the Labour Government if they don't want to pay those taxes, especially those that only want to emigrate "one day".

No, it's just pay a little bit more...

That for sure is an increase, but it feels like it's expected now, how ever much it shouldn't be. We shouldn't hide behind this as a stealth tax, we should grow some balls and increase taxes if that's what is needed (wanted), rather than drag the lower paid into more tax.

It's also the fact that the socialism ideology is for a high, progressive, tax society. It'd be more that the right of his party wouldn't want him to raise taxes, wouldn't it?

Although I think taxes do need to rise, it's also good news that this doesn't need to be done due to improved economic forecasts, so I guess an all round "well done" is probably due from all our posters.

He does have a problem, as I continuously said in the Summer that we should sell him. He has some proper issues/demons that he needs to sort - him and Chelsea was a huge red flag and it was why many PL teams weren't actually interested.

I think he's ignoring me now after losing his debate with me the other day - it's a shame because he never responded to: - The article by the associate director of the IFS. - The fact that even though taxes are the most important factor to millionaires, instead of moving to other low tax parts of the US a lot of millionaires are jumping ship to the high tax havens of Europe. - That the Government have started to make cuts, first ones to do with the PCCs. Shame he didn't mention that in his exhaustive list of cuts 😂

"Sir".

How are you feeling about it now? Are you happy? Are your millionaire mates sat in Dubai happy, crying into their bowls of sand?

And that's why 3 pages ago I said we'd have to agree to disagree - just not sure why you had to start making stuff up to try to create a narrative that didn't exist - but that's your prerogative I guess.

The fact that he's failed everywhere he's been. Either that or he's just a shit manager.

Again, haven't said that, but carry on making things up to suit your agenda, and in the meantime read what I wrote here: "I'm not sure anyone is actually saying TE should have the job permanently - my thoughts are if we haven't had anyone that we think is suitable apply, and we can't find anyone we think will be good, why just appoint any Tom, Dick and Harry when the interim option has won two on the bounce. Keep him on in the interim until we find someone to bring in. If he really starts failing then fine, we'll have to appoint someone who may not be suitable." I would argue everyone being interviewed is potentially better than TE, but surely that's a very low bar and we want someone who will be good, not just someone who is better than TE. Good things come to those that wait.

Not at all, just showing you that you're wrong.

I don't like any of the options myself. Maybe Rogers if he's interested.

But who is saying that 32 year old is the answer?

Never said he was, I just think we need to find someone of sufficient quality, and we clearly haven't yet, and until then he'll be fine as an interim.

Odd, because in this thread here I wanted Still, the incumbent at the time, to be replaced on September 22nd... Or here: Or here: Or here: No, I don't think the cap fits.

U-turn after U-turn... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0mx3nv7zy8o And we've lost all those millionaires who didn't want to pay an extra 2 pennies in the pound.

But do you want someone that is about the same as everyone else SR has appointed?

Am I included within this cohort of incumbency worshippers? You seem to be getting in quite a tizz about this.

Why do you say that - doesn't look like he's commanded respect of anyone in his managerial career?

I wish we were Norwich.

Exactly, it's why we need to get this one right, and not rush into appointing perennial failures like Vieira, Ole, O'Neil etc.
