Farmer Saint

I've never seen you get close to even making a decent point, let alone tying anyone up in knots. However, I'm not sure if you make up scenarios to prove your point though as was admitted to have happened above?

3-1 to Saints. COYR

That's only because they're acting like the only adults in the room. That is, and always has been, one of Starmer's strengths.

I'm fairly sure the quality of chicken nuggets is not an adequate defense.

My teenage self would have got kicks out of that joke.

I'm pretty sure I use Spertsyan on my fields...

Yeah, I liked his post as well. I feel dirty.

I literally have two degrees. One in Law, one in Economics. You telling fibs and trying to gaslight your way into an argument is not going to cut the cloth at this table I'm afraid. You said they left their assets and businesses in the UK. To get the money out of them they will be taxed, heavily. Why would they do that? The tax burden has already been set.

Don't think anyone has really argued that Labour's policies have helped to grow the economy. They've been shit so far. Still prefer to have them in charge than either Badenoch or Farage though.

Tattle I bet.

I will agree with you there - UTS.

It's fine mate, you've been rumbled 👍

I have multiple, but thanks, I will. I thought you couldn't respond because you were going for dinner? 😂

Ah, it's an industry I know well - what sector are you in?

Have fun mate - look forwards to your responses. Just as an FYI, people of that profile don't tend to move to Dubai - Dubai tends to be workers rather than business owners. Perhaps tomorrow you can make up some more convincing stories about millionaires.

Which they will still pay tax on though...what have they gained from moving to Dubai?

If you have £100, and you currently give me £60 of it, and instead I ask you £61 of it to improve the country for everyone, I would give that extra pound.

What do you do Sir Ralph?

I'm not asking about what has been publicised - I'm asking about why these people have left. So what have these people done - have they sold all their assets? Have they moved there temporarily? Have they sold their investments, cashed in shares, moved their businesses? The problem is everyone's personal situation is different, and incredibly complex. Millionaire's do not just up and leave. Perhaps you can outline the profiles of these people first, because just saying rich people doesn't really mean much - you can be a millionaire earning £250k pa so is it these people you are talking about? Or is it business owners etc?

Probably, yes. But let me ask you, these "millionaire's" that are leaving, why are they leaving?

Because they are choosing to go to a tax haven where they will pay zero tax rather than potentially pay a little bit more for the good of the country. The country is in a mess, Brexit has reduced our income and competitiveness, so we need to raise more money. This should fall on those with the broadest shoulders. Let me ask you this - for what reason have they said they're leaving? I'm not really comfortable with revealing this, but I am sure I am in a pretty similar financial position to slot of them so I'm very interested as to what they have been advised is happening, versus what I have been advised. I also work as a Non-Exec Director on a few boards, with many other wealthy people, and they don't seem to be leaving. I'm putting this out there, and don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think you're telling the truth. Sorry.

What a shame they are such selfish cunts then. They'll suit Dubai right down to the fucking ground.

I wasn't going to post about it, but yes, I am - it was only a joke anyway - Roberto Carlos, Bixente Lizarazu, Phillip Lahm etc all under 5' 9". I think I need to put a trigger warning on my posts 😂

Every hole's a goal 👍

He's always had an issue with me. Probably cos I sent his Dad away for slaughter, and then fucked his Mum.
