That only works while we're in the EU. Afterwards, if they refuse to pay the tax on sales generated in the UK and move their profits to try and evade it then they will technically be bankrupt and their UK assets can be seized.

That it was the second most publically opposed thing our government has done this century (behind the Iraq war), I thought I said that in a previous post.
Just because they had big turnout in a march, doesn't mean that they were the majority. Because they actually weren't.
"Sample Size: 1748"
"sample of 1,013 foxes"
"sample of 1,003"
Context is important
Indeed.
Hmm..
I dont disagree with you - but if you look back 2-3 years there was some work to get lots of countries trying to implement the same thing to try and stop this from happening - no one country can just implement something on its own. Only real options are to get everyone to implement something similar to try and stop this movement of money or to reduce CT to a level that we are one of those countries that the money is moved to to avoid it being paid somewhere else (like Ireland did).

No criminal charges to brought against Tories for election spending.
It wasn't just that one arch though. Public opposition to the ban was widespread at the time, Blair just forced through the ban in the face of public opposition to court favour with the cities (who were were in favour of it).
There are no boundaries when it comes to global trade - it doesnt matter if we are in the EU or not
There was a very vocal and mobilised opposition, but they still weren't a majority. They really weren't.
And your cities point: with 45 million in England in urban areas, vs fewer than 10million in rural, do you not think the oppostion to fox hunting might be, democratically speaking, the majority - in an intuitive sense?

Ok, but where is your evidence to back up this statement?
I don't remember widespread opposition to the fox hunting ban under Blair.
Expect lots of stories appearing in the press about those evil foxes rifling through your bins in the dead of night, and the best way to deal with them (before they thwart brexit) is to chase them around the countryside on horseback with a pack of dogs baying for blood.
Can they be evil Spanish foxes?
So Labour want to "save the NHS" by bringing in a tax rise for those earning over £85,000, which means 30% of doctors (NHS data) will effectively get a pay cut to fund the hospitals they work in. That's a good way of keeping morale high for senior medical staff, they'll need a pay rise to keep them happy and offset this extra tax which means once again the NHS will need to find extra funding.

How much of a pay hit are we talking about here?
I spent a bit of time in hospital recently and though the staff were amazing, with the long hours they worked in such a high octane ward, i can imagine most of them would be glad to take a reasonable pay cut so they are not spread so thin.

Really these are the posts of teenagers and they are held against them regardless - this extends from 13 to university antics aged 18/19 etc..... like rumours of a certain ex PM doing something with a pig - I guess in future someone somewhere might have had a picture of the event on their phone.
We need a new, compassionate but pragmatic party populated by people with principles and who actually know what they're doing and have done real jobs rather than career politicians IMO.
Don't want to vote for any of them in all honesty.

The Boxing Day hunt was (and still is, sans fox) a tradition around here and I wouldn't call us stuck up toffs. They pretty much loathe foxes in general as most of them have seen what a fox will do to a flock of hens or sheep. Foxes kill for sport, so I can get where they're coming from. I have no problem with culling foxes as they're a pest, but I don't particularly see the need to get dressed up to do it ceremonially. I can see why that rubs some people up the wrong way (though as I understand it, locally people enjoy the spectacle).
Always difficult mind to find industry professionals who are also compassionate - most become more and more removed from the human factor the more they get into the business side.
Likewise IMO our democratic mechanisms have become entrenched in its own little world removed from the actual realities of the country and time we had a real shake up - IMO no democracy is worth **** unless there is an actual option to vote for a complete change (not just spoilt ballot).
