However much I’ve tried I’ve not been able to get G7 together to come to an agreement 🤷‍♂️ Ps I’d imagine US is the main blocker to an international tax agreement

Don’t disagree with a lot of that. I wouldn’t cut taxes for anyone at the moment and I want big corporations to pay more. I’ve explained before the challenges of trying to do that unilaterally though ps US has the biggest tech firms in the world and massive natural resources which is why I...

I’m not sure US is really comparable with us. If you want me to list a load of socialist tax policy failures in other countries I’m not sure it’ll be too hard for me to Google. Said about hollande yesterday for starters (who had the lowest rating of any French leader for a long time) My point...

Im not saying we should reduce ours, I’m trying to show people that the black and white comments and proposals made about tax etc are not straight forward. Asking people if they want others to pay for something that you’ll benefit from is almost comical without giving the person wider context

Yep, they were fully aware of most of it and have agreed to pay rises post election that has increased it They should never have promised no rises of the main taxes pre election. The NI cut from the Tories was unfunded and should’ve been left open to reverse for starters.

Come on, let’s be honest, it’s easy for anyone to say they want other people taxed more to pay for better services. If they were given the example of Irelands tax revenues showing they had actually increased significantly with a lower CT i wonder what the answer would be ? FWIW I’ve said before...

Refs should be stopping this blocking of keepers at set pieces. Think simms does our keeper blocking. Just don’t agree with it, it’s obstruction

Yes and no. We obviously thought Stamenic was the better of the two which is supported by the fact there was Prem interest/buyer. We don’t know what promises were made by player, agent etc. ultimately we just got gazumped Id be more a lot more concerned if we hadn’t gone for either because we...

Yeah, they were pretty poor/disappointing at the end. Reckon a classics set would be fun though and Liams voice has recovered a lot in recent years.

Definitely, maybe

Yeah, I think so (might be wrong) trying to have standard ish rates across the EU but allowed Ireland to do their own thing.

In terms of corporate tax receipts, yes (also probably helped when we voted brexit)

Im not saying they all would leave, I just don’t think what ends up being generated would make the difference you think and in some cases could cause more longer term damage than good https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/31/france-drops-75percent-supertax Also if corporate tax levels...

The worlds changed shmmeee, it’s very easy for the very richest to live and work where they want and find ways of avoiding tax, compared to the past. France tried to ‘soak the rich’ when hollande was in and soon had to change tact. There does need to be some way of getting the super rich to pay...

The West (and some of wider world ie China) has dug itself a massive debt hole and this was exacerbated by the pandemic and the subsequent inflation/CB increases in rates around the world - leading to countries borrowing costs going through the roof. The pretty draconian decisions/measures...

That time of year unfortunately…bank holiday weekend, lots of people on hols before kids go back and football seasons started. By and large the test attendances have been decent over the summer considering they’re not marquee series Does make you wonder if they got the timing/prices right for...

I heard something similar about Simms at the start of last season, whether it was true or not who knows, but he improved massively as the season went on including his hold up play and lay offs so would be shocked if views hadn’t changed Most players just struggled to consistently pass to their...

The X post was suggesting he still did more than the others in terms of progressive passes though, as well as doing all the dirty work. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t a great overall performance but second half I thought he was better than people are making out

Exactly. However frustrating the performances have been, very early days and with a new coaching set up. Still won two, drawn one and lost one from one home and three aways. Not really panic stations

Yeah, the passing across the team was woeful today. It was strange how poor it was
