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.

Well layed but dissapointing Stan? You continue to disappoint but never mind, there should be an opening as shadow education secretary if you let your hair grow long. Or is Tanker back?

You just got to read this, to see how desperate the Bailiff and his brother are to hold onto political power.
https://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2017/11/13/states-to-debate-bailiffs-dual-role/
Anyone of the States Assembly that are not part of the establishment should ask themselves WHY do they want to continue with this double roll, Why are they not happy to separate their rolls in the Judicial from their political rolls?
Will they be paid less? NO
Will they be less able to control their destiny? YES
Will the Crown officers be able to control the Police if they are removed from Political Power?
Would the House of Parliament allow the Queen to appoint a speaker to control the house, and prevent elected members speaking, and being parties to having them jailed?
It is not about Gordon Brown, it is about the whole rotten establishment from the Queen down.
The vultures circle Appleby along with leading Accountants that use these offshore Islands to enrich themselves at the expense of other Tax Payers.

I have a question for someone , when all these people go and use offshore facilities when do they get the benefit , what's the point really , they are usually the very well off that use it , it just seems well obviously greed but surely much of the money will never be used legally . Go on KidA gis a quote .

Expatriates who are paid offshore in dollars or sterling usually use an offshore bank. I used RBS International in Jersey. All quite legal. Once I returned to the UK, I paid the tax due on the period while i was in the UK and then transferred the balance to a mainland account. There is nothing illegal about companies using so called tax havens despite all the hubbub about it. What is obscene is the amount of tax we pay and how much is wasted.

Victim - Yes they use it - on their luxury lifestyle - buying Yachts, Jets, Homes to dream of, all over the world plus of course Jewels, Cars,Horses, Politicians, Law Officers. In addition they send their children to only the best schools because the money has been cleaned by many of these offshore Crown controlled Islands.
At who`s expense - the middle class - the working class - all normal tax payers that suffer from lack of investment in schools, hospitals, poor housing etc. While they of course can afford the best schools, healthcare in the world.
You have Islands like Jersey that offer the rich deals that set their tax at say £250k p.a and less if they set up home in the Islands - and do you not think that some of these people that do these dirty deals do not get benefits/backhanders stashed in other tax havens or maybe a home here and there or holidays.

iturama, you should have had to pay the tax where you work or reside at the time of earning the income you deposited offshore imo. That is the way it should work.

CT, many expatriate arrangements, which are agreed with the host countries, are on the basis of a local payment, which is taxed at source, and a hard currency offshore payment, which is not. Otherwise skilled workers are simply not going to work in so-called developing countries or isolated regions, when alternatives are available.
Behave yourself Stan. Tanker occasionally came up with good tips. Your parents must be very disappointed how you turned out.

If these matters are not addressed you will have riots and revolution before too long ExecLine, it is not the "leftie" that will be the problem, it will be the far right with arms and weapons to maintain the status quo. The establishment already do suppress free speech, with gagging orders and threats of legal action against those that put their heads above the parapet. The real threat, with which they control is bankruptcy and jail, they already use these weapons, and while everyone feels their own position would be under threat they support the establishment out of fear and not wanting to bring the wrath of government and police, with the judiciary backing them all up.

Why is it when I read Exec's, It's and a few other posts I am reminded of:
“The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed.”
