It can be equally argued that your NI and tax payments are a cost on companies employing you. Your pre tax income is a notional figure, the take home amount is your real income - the difference is paid to HMRC by the employer. In the same way that it can be argued that tax credits are...

Reading the above replies it appears that I am alone in thinking that corporation tax is a blight on the economy that reduces growth, employment, research and investment whilst at the same time reducing treasury income. Taking 25% of a companies profit leaves them with less to invest in the...

i’m not crying. Just pointing out that its use as you used it is rather unnecessary and unpleasant . Go ask the views of someone who has been, or knows someone who has been raped and I’m sure they’ll help you understand. I guess you've never murdered a pint.

Have to ask - is "pppft" defined in the English dictionary?

Not a lot different to the charity tin or jar that used to be on the counter of most shops, take aways, garages etc. Donate if you want to or ignore, the choice is yours.

Makes you wonder what the result would have been with Max in the Ferrari, the McLaren or even the Mercedes. Claims that Max only wins races because of a superior car are being shown up as ridiculous. Lando is starting to get the best out of the McLaren, good to see. His confidence level...

Not only does it mean missing the Crawley game but Seagull Travel have cancelled my normal pick-up as the local coach companies have been booked by Crawley Town for the trip to Wembley.

I might be wrong but wasn't the argument put that the club do subsidise those traveling by coach by providing free parking close to the stadium.

As I posted earlier, it is simply survival instinct. As a prey animal you stay with the herd in times of danger. Continuing to run is a sign of stress not enjoyment.

The same could be said about many cruel " sports" - fox hunting, bear baiting, hare coursing etc . Thankfully the civilised majority has recognised the immorality in these activities and taken action to try and end them. If it weren't for the money involved then undoubtedly the same could be...

Horses are a prey animal - when the herd runs safety lies with keeping up.

The simple fact that, as you say, the design of the whip has changed and and the use of these has been legislated on only goes to acknowledge that their use is cruel. On the face of it flat racing should be much safer for the horse than races over obstacles. Take a look however at the link I...

If there were co-drivers "encouraging" the driver to go faster by hitting them with a whip then I'm sure there would be vociferous calls for motor racing to be banned.

No - I mean almost always.

Not only that they are often injured whilst being hit with a whip. How anyone can support racing, (the only place you can see an animal being repeatedly hit with impunity).and still have a clear conscience is beyond me. https://www.horsedeathwatch.com/index.php

And if the person they chose was Eddie Howe then of course I would support that appointment.

For me the latter part of the 90s was taken up by companies paranoid about the Y2K bug - tiring, boring but highly profitable

Are Russians who protest against the attack on Ukraine cowards? I call them heroes.

This is where cheques are useful. Make the payment to the customer by cheque and mark the back with "in full and final settlement regarding all and any claims connected to the installation of . . . . on . . . ". You can then get the cashed cheque returned to you by your bank. Responsibility...
