    This happens all the time. Shocking.

    Sometimes the developer will pay x amount instead of building social units but that’s down to the council to decide and it’s rare. Even then the sums given to the council are substantial.

    However as it's the Tories messing up big time , they will let it lie

    My mistake , it's even worse , the date for clearing the deficit is indeed 2025 , not 2022 as I initially said

    That's ten fecking years later than the Tories promised in 2010 !!

    What a bunch of charlatans !!
    OBR says it'll take until 2031 to clear the deficit. It also forecasts sub 2% growth for several years.

    Given that the EU are hell bent on major legislation to do just this, can you explain how we can crack down on tax avoidance if we leave the EU and become another tax haven?

    Because companies changed their financial year to make the most of this reduction, seeing an immediate rise then a significant drop afterwards.

    It all started with Thatcher

    what do you mean by "decent money" mate
    as have others have pointed out we are already being taxed to buggerry

Although I was a card carrying member of the Labour Party for many years I couldn't bring myself to agree with much Corbyn and Co have to offer especially as the solution is not to chuck money at any problem that might arise.
    Agree
