Tryfield Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 A whisper doing the rounds on Twitter yesterday that the higher rate of tax to start at £25,000 in an iScotland. I for one hope that's a load of shite, how would that attract top medical/technical/scientific folk to Scotland? If it is indeed true, I hope it gets aired well before the vote, I may well need to make England my 1st postal home and Ayrshire my second if fact.

Mr Bairn Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 God almighty! What a soft touch this nation is. Well yeah obviously it's still three months too many but it's a big improvement over the "come on in and get you goody bag" offered by Labour.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Define acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. I could make a list but that would sort of defeat the purpose - if you read my previous post you can see that basically acceptable behaviour for me is taking reasonable steps to mitigate life's risks. Government has a role here because clearly there is a significant part of the population taking little or no action on issues such as pensions or unemployment protection.

Highlandmagyar Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 And a NO voter? Surely naw. No,no,no. Undecided. Do I want my large tax bill to go to a Tory government in Westminster or a Tartan Tory government in Holyrood? Decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly a government would have to be elected and policies like that would have to be in the manifesto of any party seeking election. I don't think we'll be seeing that figure in any manifesto of any party seeking election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stick your money in a Swiss account mate. Problem solved. (Probably best to vote No as the Tories tend to turn a blind eye to this practice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do pensions have to do with fecklessness and what risks do we have to mitigate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryfield Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 It's shite. Twitter right enough. Some freelance burd called Lalita o'Neil penned the article I read yesterday. I don't know what publication it was in as there was no paper name included in the pic. If I could be bothered looking for the Tweet I'd post it, but I can't be arsed. No doubt it'll be in a BT pamphlet soon, winging it's way around all the houses where the occupiers are on more than £25,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, ye mean all the oil workers, teachers, doctors, surgeons, engineers, technicians, windmill workers, police and awe them? £25,000 is quite a low mark for professionals nowadays. If it's nonsense, we'll see the politicians declaring publicly that it's nonsense, surely. Anyway, no doubt it will do the rounds in pamphlets, through all the doors.
