Cade Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Well yes, but actually cheap housing would drag prices down across the board, and the entire UK economy is built on a giant housing bubble (and has been for the last three or four decades). We can pretend GDP is rising simply by making houses stay expensive and getting more expensive every year. We never learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pans Jambo Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 58 minutes ago, doctor jambo said: Sorry, IF the Bojo tax cuts take place and the SNP do NOT follow suit it could cause real problems for the SNP. NI is not devolved so I would face a feckin MASSIVE hike in that to find a tax cut in England, whilst I did not get a similar compensatory cut in Scotland. I already pay more tax than my English colleagues ( but don't mind really as it used to prop the health service) + failure to pass on the band changes that were given to higher earners south of the border. Think when it gets to the stage where I am literally tens of thousands out compared to down south then its goodnight Vienna for I and many colleagues. Why the actual **** should I get a massive cut in take home pay to fund a tax cut for my English colleagues? I see your point but it's not the SNP thats imposing the NI hike and unless youre a tory loving buffoon then folk will understand this. Just another nail in the coffin of the union IMO. Folk will see it for what it is, the Eton boys looking after their own. Incidentally, I work for an English based company and live in Scotland as well so I know how you feel.

Cade Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Rory Stewart says that if PM Boris Johnson prorogued Parliament to force through a no-deal Brexit "we will hold our own session of Parliament across the road in Methodist Central Hall and we will bring him down". Having said that, Stewart did vote against the Labour motion yesterday that was aimed at stopping No-Deal.

Surely the solution is independence then, or at a minimum, devolve NI.

When he was rightly backed into a corner over HIS decisions to close fire stations , he had only one answer , "oh shut up". Translated , he really meant was "get to feck, i dont give a feck".
