But measures taken to ensure the smallest businesses pay no Employers NICs

Oh. That renders a good three pages of the Labour thread redundant.

Yes. This was covered in detail, yet brilliantly explained on this morning's Today programme. The legislation (not made by the current government) - as it stands - mean that you have to prove the defendant was motivated to terrorise people due to a religious or political ideology. In the past...

And yet you live in France.

I suggested it way earlier in either this thread or the meltdown one. It's a bit hard to keep track of both plus their offshoots. It feels proportional. People with bigger houses have bigger bills but, once you hit state retirement age, they're calculated on a lower tariff. It's not much...

How do you define wealthy? What's the cut off? What if I earn only a small salary but win the lottery or a large bet or someone gifts me a house? You see how easy it is to do this sort of thing? Already done, in fact the Tories nicked it. How? Seems like we'd already be doing it if it was...
