It’s a worldwide market right?

Do Google pay a fair amount of UK tax for their UK advertising operations? Is Ireland used as a tax haven?

Once you answer those two very simple questions you will be on the path to logical thinking.

Be better.

This is for the politics thread rather than the Trump thread, but I think describing some homophobic, racist and misogynistic people as homophobic, racist and misogynistic is a little different to describing state prosecutors as scum for locking away a criminal.

I think that the highly political nature of the American judicial system needs to be taken in to account when trying to elevate state prosecutors in to a protected species and being outraged on their behalf.

The answers are ‘probably not’ and ‘yes’ respectively. Trump’s plan to address the latter is to cut corporate taxes in the United States accordingly, which would be a huge boon to Google.

Be best!

Absolutely not and yes respectIvely. These tech based companies should be taxed on UK turnover. It would make what Labour aim to raise from non doms look like chicken feed.

Interesting. Trump will probably give him a role in government the way it's going...
I've listened to a few podcasts about the Silk Road and Ross Ulbricht doesn't sound like someone Trump would really want released, but there have been a lot of campaigns to get his sentence reduced (as it was seen as overly harsh and mainly a message to others thinking of doing similar), so maybe he's trying to make an ally?

Great book on it/Ulbricht

It’s my understanding that’s what the recent changes under the last government that came into force a few months ago do, but I am not a tax lawyer:

Not necessary, Starmer's already done that.

Cost of living crisis and UK recession are solely the babies of the Conservative & Unionist Party.

The Yanks are crazy about the flag, I don't understand it either but it's a popular policy and a cheap way of getting likes without much in the way of consequences a political stunt really.

How many do you think are aware that constitutionally the preferred method of disposing of an American flag is to burn it?

The UK economy also didn't do anything it wouldn't have done under the tories, it's why they called an early election

Yeah, Trump will probably make him the head of the FBI.
