Of the 45 Town recipients 40 of the Towns have tory MP's. What else would you expect from a tory government, unselfishness, honesty and integrity? Fuckin behave. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter Parp Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Nobody said that they could. ETA: Even the article you posted doesn't make the claim that the Scottish Government could not have paid £500 net. It provides a list of excuses why it wasn't done. No surprise you linked to it tbh, you both display similar behaviours.It provides a list of reasons why HMRC should have made it tax free, yes. None of which you address. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be simplicity itself and not a fucking impossible task at all. Or HMRC could have just popped the £500 into the non-taxable column. 6 hours ago, Baxter Parp said: https://www.thenational.scot/news/18912775.fact-check-snp-government-top-500-nhs-bonus-make-tax-free/ Rubbish.

You are spinning like a prima ballerina. HMRC making the payment tax free is not the only way that health service workers could have had £500 in their bank account. Is it within the gift of the Scottish Government to pay medicalnstaff £500 net of deductions? Of course it is, everything else was just politics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all seemed to be going swimmingly, diplomatic dances were had and she seemed destined for release. Up steps the bold Boris to declare her having another purpose and allowing the Iranians the opportunity to deny her release. So yes, the serial adulterer and liar is largely responsible for the circumstances surrounding her incarceration. Various sources quoted as saying the PM needs to intervene in this case now, to make the Iranians see sense. I'd say that's just about the very last thing thing Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and family would/should be hoping for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Glasgow based UK tribunals were moved to being under the Scottish Government in the last few years while some remained under the UK. As the UK Civil Service had been subject to 1% pay caps for at least the last decade while the Scottish Government had given 2% or more in recent years it meant that some people doing the same job in the same building were being paid different amounts. The Cabinet Office jobs will be subject to the UK Government 1% pay cap and are unlikely to be attractive to any current Scottish Civil Servant for this reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
