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.

One of the favourite terms of "progressives" read regressives, is the airy fairy term "fair share of taxes".
Lets be clear, in the US if you don't pay your taxes, you go to jail. The tax code allows companies to carry forward losses. Losses can be incurred due to adverse currency fluctuations, inventory price changes, assets revaluations, capital investment etc etc. Just as a company can make taxable profits if prices or currencies move in the opposite direction. None of that is illegal. Trump didn't avoid tax, his accountants do the books for him. Legally. Many of the darlings of the left have had years when they suffered accountable losses. Warren Buffett for example. I wonder if he pays his "fair share of taxes" on his $60B? At least Trump builds, unlike Soros.

Buffet releases his tax return every year. Trump never does.

Not true. Buffett released for 2015. Nor is it illegal not to release your tax returns. Trump is probably not as rich as he claims. But that is the man. He is screwy, inconsistent and instinctive. Hopefully he will choose a good team to guide and support him.

Trump will have to release part of his tax return prior to being President

Look, face it, Haystack is bereft...his bestest mate Dave left him in the lurch.


All through the brexit contest, he kept banging on about wanting to leave, but putting forward every objection he could lay hand to.

The man's a mountebank.

I do want to leave and I think Cameron/Osborne were largely right. I expect there to be a catastrophically bad effect on the UK for a few years. Despite that expectation, I think it will be better in the long run. I also prefer to be away from the EU, which I think will ultimately fail unless all members accept total federalism.

A post on Facebook claimed that the new £5 notes circulated by the Bank of England contained tallow – a substance made from animal fats which many vegetarians don’t use or buy.

The Bank of England was emailed.

The reply confirmed it: “We can confirm that the polymer pellet from which the base substrate is made contains a trace of a substance known as tallow. Tallow is derived from animal fats (suet) and is a substance that is also used widely in the manufacture of candles and soap.” Bank of England spokesperson

Industry tallow comes from cows and/or sheep. As such no vegan, vegetarian, Sikh, Jain or Hindu would knowingly use a product containing tallow.

The reply from the Bank does not acknowledge the fact that vegans, vegetarians and Hindus are very careful when it comes to buying candles and soap. What they can’t do is choose which notes they get circulated with.

Putting animal products into bank notes gives people no choice in whether they use it.

This manufacturing decision by the Bank of England is short sighted, offensive and needs to be changed.

Maybe you'd like to sign the Petition?

Impossible to avoid animal products in modern world.

Going cashless means losing more control and handing more of your life to
those who want to control MORE of your life..

Its what big business wants, they want to know what you spend your money,
how much, and other bits of your life...

then they will no I do not buy any eu goods that's good

It's also possible that a cashless society is exactly what the banks and the government want.
