Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Glaxo invests £500m in UK and builds new factory

The investments could create up to 1,000 new jobs, Glaxo said. The biopharmaceutical facility will be its first new UK factory for 40 years.

Patent boxes

Glaxo said it was motivated specifically by Chancellor George Osborne's confirmation in the Budget on Wednesday that the government would introduce so-called patent boxes.

These allow corporations to pay a lower rate of tax on profits generated from UK-owned intellectual property.

"The introduction of the patent box has transformed the way in which we view the UK as a location for new investments, ensuring that the medicines of the future will not only be discovered, but can also continue to be made here in Britain," said Glaxo chief executive Sir Andrew Witty.

"Consequently, we can confirm that we will build GSK's first new UK factory for almost 40 years."

Child sex trafficking case police arrest 12 in Oxford

I will be surprised if they are not East European or Muslim , my money would be on Muslim. Black British would be a outside's.

Unfortunately, these crimes are in hand of fundamentalists.

Unfortunately, there is always a couple of stupid guys to act and react.

The only solution is open access to internet and having unbiased media to prevent provoking hate.

It is very simple, fighting terrorist is a very difficult, if not impossible. Israel spent all its resources on this for decades, without any success. And we see someone in the middle of France kill people and is happy to be killed!!!!

AID you are not allowed to post the truth

OSBORNE THE LIAR . a pensioner getting 10250 pounds pension after april with the 5 pounds rise will now pay 260 pounds tax that means he will lose all the rise in is pension of 5.2% as he will only beallowed 9208 pounds before tax not the present 10500 it is now so he will lose the rise and lose a futher 10pounds on top

The budget is to support businesses.

AHOJ . why do you think the market is down .
i will tell you i have spoken to some investors
there answers it is bad for the uk .we will not be investing

Thanker,
How big are your investors?
Pensioners are not paying for tax cut from the rich as headlines say. Tax cut from the rich helps them to trade and invest inside UK rather than diverting part of it to other countries ... for tax purposes. Isn't it good?

a dam site biggerthan I .
the budget was bad for investors in general like retail
but good for oil and gas .
have just been phoned the french have gone in he is dead

praying on children is sick. and must be dealt with very hard indeed .
no matter who they are it is now all over the uk

It is sad that he dies. He could be a good source of information.

I am sure they have his contacts, etc and gain access to others who might have helped him.

At least get the facts right. Pensioners still get tax relief which will rise over time, the same as everyone else.

They have just had a change in the extra age related allowance for over 65s. This amounts to approx £83 per year. This is easily exceeded by the rise in pensions this year. The removal of the age related allowance is to simplify the tax system. It means that everyone is then taxed on the same basis. It is part of the process to streamline and modernise the income tax system. It is why the rise in the basic pension was unusually large.

There are also plans to simplify the Nat Ins for employees and employers.

greggs may well shut the shop bad news for take aways .
but i agree with taxing them bad for health

the tax will close most of the high street shops .
the streets will be left to the yobs
