LunarC Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 That wouldn't be another fanny pretending to be English, only to make an account and comment complete and utter nonsense on Scottish independence threads, would it? It couldn't possibly be As We Rise Again/British Bigot either, surely? Charming, i'm definitely English. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 What does your nationality have to do with the debate about Scottish Independence? To be fair someone brought it up. As for this thread though I have to admit I seriously thought that by now I would of heard some better stuff from BT, the amount of shite and scare stories they spout and how they do absolutely nothing but say negative things about the YES campaign is becoming ridiculous! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Does anyone think there's the possibility of the Income Tax and NI system being overhauled in favour of a less complicated and fairer system for all post independence? I think the Employers contribution needs a radical overhaul to stop the march towards a part-time workforce. I'd also like to see 1 tax threshold set around a figure regarded as what's fair to receive for a decent days work.

If the government can keep the baleful and corrupt influence of the big accountancy firms away then I think we could come up with a simplified tax regime fairly easily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to set a fixed starting point £14/£15k and then use a log function, it's quite interesting that the current tax and NI take lumped together follows a log curve quite well except between £100k and £150k.

Too be fair they've spotted the gap in the market and make their money off it, fair play to them.

Magnethead Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'll be voting YES without any hesitation, too long has this country been ruled by people who don't give a shit about it, who don't live in it and couldn't care less about it other than the revenue it can generate for the treasury. It's time for Scotland to prosper and grow, not be stripped of all it's resources, raped and pillaged and always the first to have cuts imposed on it under the tyrannical english tories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-bOOMSLANg- Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 More of project fear's scare stories of a desolate and downtrodden Scotland dispelled. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/dec/05/scottish-independence-boosted-cost-green-energy-reforms-ageing Haud the fucking bus. Tom Greatrex, Labour's shadow energy minister at Westminster, said Toke was now ignoring his previous report's evidence that Scotland's renewables investment was heavily dependent on UK subsidy.Scottish power firms get a third of overall UK support for renewables despite having 8.5% of the UK population, so after independence electricity bills would soar or investment would need to be cut. Another quisling unionist. He is using an utter nonsense Reynard-esque comparison here. I have mentioned this before but here goes again: Scotland's population is irrelevant when it comes to how much renewables investment we get. According to Greatrex, we get about a third of the overall UK support for renewables and, rather fittingly, Scotland just so happens to have about a third of the United Kingdom's total land area. We also have about two thirds of its coastline. This is a complete busted flush just like all the other Bitter Together myths. Scotland is in no way, shape or form subsidised by the UK treasury. "This confusion seems to run right through the report. It is highly misleading, cherry-picking statistics and twisting the facts to produce an image of a separate Scotland that is far from realistic," Greatrex said. He also actually has the gall to say this after deliberately "misleading by cherry-picking statistics and twisting the facts". What a fucking odious c**tflap. Oh and "separate" Scotland... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
