Amusing. From the same article. Classic Labour ????. They should get Diane Abbott to calculate the cost of going net zero. She'd probably come up with a figure of 250 quid.????

I'm not sure what you are getting at. Are you replying to the correct post? But either way I don't rent - I own my condo. And bringing that money into Thailand to buy it 8 years ago looks to be quite a good move if they do actually go ahead with this crazy idea as has been proposed.

Yes they may do, although personally I doubt it. But as many of our partners either do not work or work but don't pay tax, given the tax rates below I'm thinking it would be a good way to get the first 300,000 in for (worst case scenario) only 7500 tax. Or 500,000 for (again, worst case) 27,500 tax.

Who cares? The target is 2050. When someone is voting in 2024 do you think they're going to say "Well I know Sunak is going to save me loads of money and I need every penny I can get right now to pay the rent, but what about reaching net zero in 26 years time?". No, they're going to look at Sunak and then look at Starmer and think "This guy is going to save me money and leave me alone but the other one is going to interfere in my life and force me to spend money on reaching net zero by 2050 and as a result I might not be able to buy meat products or have my 2 weeks in Benidorm". Nobody votes to be poorer. Taxing people to reach net zero is a vote loser. So I'm pretty sure Starmer will be pushing it hard ????.

Did you read the tweet? The new approach is NOT implementing these stupid measures. As far as I am aware they haven't been implemented yet, so he simply has to say he won't do it and then not do it. Now I'm no "supporter" of Sunak, but I think even he could manage to NOT do something.

Yes I doubt they could track that either. How would they even know that it was me? They would know that someone with my name had withdrawn money from a bank in the UK from a Thai ATM but there could be loads of people with the same name as me, could have been a tourist with the same name. So first off they'd have to contact all the Thai banks and check if anyone with my name had made withdrawals from foreign accounts using their ATM machines - but they still couldn't be sure it was me. My bank in the UK doesn't have my current passport number to confirm it is the same person and I would think client confidentiality would prevent my UK bank releasing details about me (date of birth etc.) to a bank in a foreign country. Failing that, I could just send money from my UK account to my Thai gf's account and she could withdraw it and hand it over to me. Or are they going to tax Thais on money received as a gift from foreigners? Given the number of foreigners and the number of financial transactions involved, it would be a massive undertaking. They can't even copy my name correctly from my driving licence into the computer when I renew my Por Lor Bor so tracking my ATM withdrawals from foreign banks that refuse to release any information about me would be a tough one.

Well done Rishi. Let's not allow ourselves to be held hostage by a minority of crusty doomsday cultists and elite champagne socialists preaching from their private jets. Great policies that help normal, working class people.

If you copy someone else's post and then accidentally post it as your own, that's your problem. Maybe some IT training could help you? Did wonders for my 72 year old mother.

I think you over-estimate Labour.

Well, Spider Mike said he could tell he was guilty (of rape) just by looking at him. However, when people refer to trial by social media that is obviously not restricted to this website. Plenty on X saying he is guilty for example.

Yes. The Tories have been pretty useless for the last couple of years. Any competent party would destroy them. Labour won't.

O rly.

Luckily his opponent is Starmer, who recently u-turned and admitted that a woman is an adult human female. But depite Stamer's recent epiphany, there's plenty of time for him to grab defeat from the jaws of victory on other issues. Labour always do.

You folded like a cheap suit. Couldn't answer a straight question. Resorted to fridge magnet platitudes. Next...

OK. You won Jonny. Your logic won. He tapped out. Great job.

What are you talking about Chomhpherh? Do you not know the difference between canceling/deplatforming someone and suing them for libel? They are 2 completely different things. But you already knew that...

Due process. He needs to be tried fairly before he is labeled a rapist and has his career destroyed. Simple really.

Not worth your time and yet you wrote a whole paragraph on it.???? You can't answer without conceding I am correct. Maybe best you just stop drawing attention to that fact...

Threatening to take legal action against someone for libel is not 'canceling' someone. But Chohmpher already knows that.

We got there in the end. My work here is done.

He isn't being kicked out for not following rules. He is being kicked out because of the accusations of rape.

Strawman. What people are asking for is due process instead of trial by media. But you already knew that...

Who knows? There hasn't been a trial yet. From the message it sounds like consensual sex without a condom.

So if he creates his own version of YouTube and posts a video, that is proof that he hasn't been cancelled? ???????? You're on top form today Chohmpherh. Good stuff ????

Is that the best you've got? ???? I wasn't looking for a quote from one of your fridge magnets. You won't answer because you know I am correct. Answering truthfully would highlight that. The BBC, Channel 4 and YouTube are cancelling him. They are all left leaning. https://www.forbes.com/sites/evangerstmann/2021/03/22/what-is-cancel-culture/?sh=18e7a4c9bd55
