Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted October 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2022 I am still surprised that she thought she would get away with that policy. Making rich people richer in a crisis. Is there anything better suitable to <deleted> off 90% of the nation? What kind of PM makes such decision without even thinking for 5 minutes if that might be a bad idea. Totally utterly useless! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea was that some people would have more money which would then be spent and that would improve the economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the gist of it is, the less money you have, if you get some extra, the more likely you are to spend it and the less likely to save it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it more likely that she wanted to say thank you to the Tory members who voted for her. And then, as an afterthought, had this: Now how can I sell this idea to all those poor stupid people? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, of course. The Tory leaderships claims tax cuts are a panacea. Whatever the economic challenge is, tax cuts will solve the problem. But, at bottom, it's all about giving the wealthy a bigger share of the pie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes she is, she can also fire the Chancellor she chose and appointed. She’s already blamed him for the idea of the cut to the 45% tax cut she’s had to U-Turn on. He’s obviously in the departure lounge. One erratic move after another. Edited October 4, 2022 by Chomper Higgot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to look far for poverty in the land most of us now reside, Thailand. In the UK, an iPhone 6 is poverty......???? Just thought, in 1960 my school dinner was 5 pence, that's the old money.... ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given that there's no way of independently confirming your claim, there's no compelling reason to believe it. But given that it was so unpopular that the decidsion got reversed, it seems highly unlikely that a significant number of people from the left would be ok with it. So even if your report is based on fact, it would still be insignificant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
