Don't you think paying wealthy bankers bonuses is quite crass when people are struggling? Westminster parties have no shame and not just the Tories. Labour is an absolute joke of a party, no morals either and as for Starmer and that twat Sarwar, what a couple of nonentities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it come from bonus payments? Is paying a banker or anyone else whose business is doing well a bonus, wrong? I would imagine the bonus is paid from profits. I worked on the factory floor and if our business made a reasonable profit, we got a bonus. As for morals. As the German writer Friedrich von Schlege said: "Where there is politics or economics, there is no morality." No government will be any different. Even communism, where everyone is equal, there will be many who are 'more equal' than others. If only every every politician was as honest and moral as our Snp politicians. They are a beacon, a shining light of morality and competence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Let us hope that these examples of huge tax savings are spent in the real economy in order to aid economic growth for, supposedly, the benefit of everyone... and not merely accumulated to offshore wealth holdings. Cos like, giving away huge tax savings that don't recycle around in the economy would be economically illiterate and particularly dense as shit.

periodictabledancer Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) They're not claiming "trickle down " effect any more (pretty obviously it never worked given Thatcher started it in 1979 and look where it's got us). It's now being claimed the tax cuts are to stave off a (worse) recession , which the BoE says may have already happened - and the media hasn't batted an eyelid about that. So while the BoE raises interest rates to stifle domestic demand, Truss/Kwarteng are stoking it with tax cuts. Absolute insanity. Unionists will love it though - cos "tax cuts". Meanwhile people are routinely extending their mortgages for another 3/4/5 years because they can no longer afford soaring food prices/rampant utility profiteering/ soaring interest rates.

He uses his wealth for the betterment of others whereas the bankers bonuses will be to better themselves. Westminster set the benchmark for politics in the UK! Let's get out of it and get some sort of constitution or framework where politicians can be held more accountable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
