    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    Double edged sword - yes, spending helps the economy - more VAT and more income tax from those running the business you buy off. On the other hand, if people piss all their money up the wall before they need help such as social care then it costs the taxpayer money for their care, housing...

    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    And there in lies the problem with IHT - it doesn't encourage people to save or invest money. In fact, it does the exact opposite - makes people want to spend their money and assets before they die which in the long run costs the government / tax payer far more than IHT would bring in.

    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    Completely agree with this idea ( although I don't think IHT should even be a thing ). If we have to have IHT then charge it to the people that receive the money and register it as normal income. A story - both my parents died back in 2021. Probate was a nightmare and thankfully a famous Albion...

    They are talking rubbish. You can get your car serviced anywhere and still maintain the warranty - the only condition being that "authorised" parts are used i.e. in your case Citroen parts.

    [News] Just Stop Oil

    You seem to be forgetting these people got draconian sentences for only discussing disruptive protesting .... not actually doing it. Also, no, peaceful protest does not remain a democratic right - you might want to look at the laws that the Tory kuntish government brought in to limit noise at a...

    I will but my MP is Peter Kyle who is the vice chair for the Labour Friends of Israel which suggests to me he will just ignore me.

    [News] Hamas/Gaza/Israel

    OK, time for a stupid question. If someone has no religious beliefs - we'll use your example here - how can they be Jewish ? Judaism is a religion/belief not a race. It's no different to me being brought up by Christian parents - I don't believe in God etc and don't call myself a Christian - in...

    Nope - nothing about a car bombing in that report - and I use the word report in the loosest possible terms.

    Not correct. He was never charged, put on trial nor convicted for car bombings. Only acts of sabotage. Feel free to provide the evidence of this car bombing.

    Disagree - I wouldn't want any front line engineer to take any blame but I would expect an executive to explain why proper UAT wasn't in place and then fall on their sword.

    [Help] New oven - advice

    You say you want a gas hob and electric ovens. I always thought that but by mistake purchased a gas hob and gas ovens range. The ovens take a bit of getting used to after electric but I'm never switching back.

    Some Azure functions have APIs into Crowdstrike so it's very likely to be the same issue.
