I've done some googling and maybe he is worth more than $100m so I take it back. Nice work Gareth.

I think he's worth around £100 million just over I think.
To put it in perspective even Ronaldo isn't near being a billionaire. That shows how much money these lunatics are hoarding.
Working class people defending them because they're paying a little bit of tax is nuts. They aren't even paying their fair share and are hoarding it so it's out of the system. Billionaire are ****ing the world up by doing this.
Theoretically I could get a blowie off the queen mother, about as likely as making a billion quid from a £45k annual salary by just sticking it in the bank.

Vote the Tories in again and it may seem a little more likely🤪
Michael Gove said "The day after we vote to leave, we hold all the cards and we can choose the path we want". Parliament hasn't been able to choose that path. Labour have voted against every deal as there have been no safeguards for workers' rights, jobs etc. I believe they are right to do this. Whether we stay or leave, ultimately we should be doing our utmost to ensure people don't lose jobs, livelihoods. This has to be a bigger priority than Brexit. Sadly there are too many pricks out there who are happy for people to lose their jobs if it means Brexit being delivered.
As for Labour delaying Brexit, on March 12th, a majority of 149 voted no to Theresa May's deal. 75 Tory MPs voted against May, presumably most of them no-deal seekers. Had they backed their leader, we would now be out of the EU. If a party has a majority in Government yet fails to deliver because around a quarter of its MPs don't support a particular bill, they can hardly blame anyone else.
My understanding is that EU law has helped in 3 main respects for workers...1. 28 days paid leave and a limit of 48 hrs iWork per week. 2. Guaranteed maternity leave of 14 weeks. 3. Prt time workers having same rights as full time. After Brexit its for the UK to decide which ir=f any of these to keep. But...Uk legislation already allows for 5 weeks plus 3 days annual paid leave a year ( inc public holidays), and 52 week maternity leave a year..both of which are much better than the EU....so why is Corbyn making such an issue about it when UK law seems OK
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 14 weeks maternity leave in the EU v 52 weeks leave in the UK you've spoken about is missing some key points (I think).
I had a daughter not too long ago and I seem to remember that you're entitled to 14 weeks paid maternity leave in the UK (which was brought in by the EU) - the 52 weeks leave in the UK is based on the employer's discretion to how much paid leave you get (after the 14 weeks mandatory leave). In my experience, my partner had 9 months maternity leave, 14 weeks on full pay and the rest was on half her salary - as per her contract.
With that in mind, I hope you can see the confusion.
Good point. With that in mind I had a look at eU regulations and the rules state14 weeks of which 2 weeks is mandatory. This suggests that the other 12 weeks are optional, so I looked at a country by country listing and that does seem to be the case.
It seems that despite people going on about it the EU rules are pretty flexible and amongst individual countries the UK is one of the better ones.
The fact that you try to measure how certain your beliefs are impresses me. I try to do the same thing. I think that's why I no longer believe many of the things I have been told. For example, everyone believes that Jimmy Savile was one of the UKs worst sex cases and I was probably about 90% in agreement with them. But when I started thinking about it and looking at the evidence or lack of it this this certainty went down very quickly. I now believe he is probably innocent.
You don't need any maths to see that I am right. You can do it with a spreadsheet quite easily. Use one column for the new total each year and the other for the principal plus the interest plus the annual payment. But if you doubt me then just put these figures into the input boxes at this site : 0,45000,10,Annual,81

If after doing that you have found that a 99% certainly about a belief is wrong then ask yourself what other beliefs might be wrong?
Just drag your totals down another two rows. I said "about 80 years". I'm not a Savile defender. I don't care about him and I was never interested in him. I just use his supposed guilt as example of something nearly everyone believes to be true. Fortunately it is not against the law yet to say that he might be innocent. In the near future I think we are going to be persecuted for rejecting or even doubting beliefs that are "officially true".
According to this there were 'only' 53 British (not UK) billionaires in 2017 - so they must be breeding!

Certainly under the Tories. I'm no fan of the EU, they're pro business, although so are the Tories, and they don't like the Working class either. I voted to remain although the EU has a fair bit of form on shafting workers. Alot of the Workers rights in this country have been implemented by Workers struggle and the Unions, not the EU.
Same. That's why i voted to stay. Being a Member state has given non unionised workers a few more rights, those bastards will rip it all away if they get half a chance. Anyone who votes for Boris is heartless in my opinion, his policies will slowly kill people.

Bill Gates was talking about being taxed yesterday. He has a fortune of 106 billion so if he was asked to give away 100 billion that would be about 94% (and he'd still be very rich). It seems that kind of number is too much for a lot of people, even those without that kind of money, but it's been done before in the US. And of course, he'd probably find a way of giving away less than that.
Picking someone who sued the NHS isn't the cleverest move when trying to stick up for the mega rich

Man who sues the NHS and is in tax exile? Don't fall for believing the politics of envy is a thing. He is hoarding a 2 billion pounds from the economy and dodging tax, why?
Prison for tax evasion.
Donated money and office space to brexit parties because he wants the UK to be a tax haven.
There are no ethical billionaires.
