Financial people eh!   Shower of rich b******s, eh?   We should not have accepted Mr Anderson's millions in donations, eh?

It's not about benevolence though is it. Nothing wrong with being rich. 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.

Where does that benevolence come from though?  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.

So the more you earn the more you’ll save in tax cuts. Also news just in, water is wet. 🙄

And higher interest rates will help them even more. Almost a coincidence.

Don't forget the poorest will also have their 16 pence per week benefit from the NI cut.

 

Huzzah!

Yep the cut is pretty meaningless to the poorest. A few quid to those in the middle though.

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.

And a huge tax cut for the rich at the end. They just can't stop themselves can they. Don't give a stuff about people struggling as long as their donors are taken care of

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.

Interest rises - good for banks

Stamp Duty cuts - good for mortgage lenders ie banks

NI cuts - good for workers but particularly good for well paid workers ie bankers

Remove restriction on bankers bonuses? - Good for bankers.

 

I see a pattern...

I meant James Anderson's benevolence. 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.

What are you talking about? Truss has said that she is all about growing business. In UK Financial Services is the biggest sector. In FS Banking is the biggest sub-sector. Ergo she is doing everything she can for banks and bankers and sod everyone else.

Officially in recession tae

 

:turmoil:

On paper. Whats coming is a depression. Maybe not quite 1929 again but pain will be felt next few years. My opinion.

 

I also expect as the economic reality comes home that the next concern will be war as they always seems to arrive when the economic outlook is dire.

It says why? It is only one sentence - how can I possibly clarify for you? Unsure where this is going but that is now 3 posts you're made about failing to understand a single sentence in your native language...

It’s going in circles maybe that’s part of the pattern you see. Take NI out and you can look at your pattern all day long. 😊

Why? the average base salary in banking (not just Investment banking) is 42k. There is unlikely to be any sector paying more NI over to the Govt than banking)

Obviously the don’t need it most but a group of taxpayers often overlooked by any flavour of government.

Unless you earn over £155,000 today's mini budget means you'll be earned off.

Or move to England, you don’t need to earn anywhere near that to appreciate the Tax and national insurance difference.

Because we cut taxes for some. 

 

I'll hazard a guess at the apparent prosperity of the other two is probably down to not having a Conservative government hell bent on trashing their economies?
