2022 mini-budget discussion

[fez]

I'll ask again, this successful first world economy where the risk taking investors are paid a lot less and the unskilled and low skilled workers are paid a lot more than in Great Britain, where is it...?

The same country where the rich don't operate almost entirely in their own best interests I would imagine. Capitalism rewards morally questionable behaviour and the whole system is built around rewarding companies who go to the extreme ends of that behaviour.

This government is dead in the water.

23rd day in charge and BoE has to intervene because of the actions of these idiots to the point where there could be a “material risk to UK financial stability”

Something something lefties

I believe that to be off topic of the mini budget that this thread is about.

Its OK, we will allow it just this once.

Except when you went on about the benefits of the IR35 change in the mini budget but then didn't answer my question

I'll give it about ten minutes until someone tries to blame Kier Starmer

Lol, I wondered when thenewoc would turn up with his dribble.

It's pointless guys, when he was being programmed with the line that immigrant workers were depressing the native unskilled workers pay he was continually arguing we needed to get rid of them to increase the pay of the low skilled workers.

Now he's being fed the line that low pay increases are fuelling inflation, he'll argue that till he's blue in the face, with no consistency and contradictory arguments when it suits. You won't get a rational argument from him.

Most of those taking industrial action are not on national minimum wage which is precisely the problem! The rail, postal and refuse workers for example are on far more than national minimum wage when they shouldn't be and hence why they shouldn't be holding the nation to ransom for even higher wages now and helping to drive inflation up.

Corbyn did this with his socialism!

The Tory megasimp Daniel Hannan has already said as much.

Too late that was this morning - blaming KS for making markets drop because they fear a labour govt

Except that was on topic as it is part of the mini budget. My employment is not part of that budget and therefore off topic.

The BoE having to step in to prevent a financial collapse, purely down to a Tory budget.

Kwasi and Truss are done.

Poor people asking for a small raise to cover the cost of living crisis after years of wage stagnation = this is outrageous! It will drive up inflation
Rich bankers getting the top rate of tax removed and having their bonuses restored = this is fine and will not affect inflation

You sound smart...

Granted, so what's that IR35 benefit that's unfortunately been drowned out by all the other bad news?

Is your job title "Delusional Tory Voter & hater of the poor"

What's your take on disabled people? It's their fault for being born?

The bank are having to move like Do Kwon deploying capital.

Holy ****... I was joking!

What a world we live in!

Cutting red tape for businesses which will speed up obtaining employees from our domestic market.

You would think but id imagine the tory faithful wont want to spark another leadership battle knowing it would likely cause a GE to trigger.

Go on, name this successful yet Utopian first world economy, your riddle has me perplexed...

Or is it that it simply doesn't exist but you are incapable of admitting it?
