You do know what everywhere means?



One small specialist manufacturing business spending a few quid on kit is the exception.Everywhere? Not again

Do you think it means every business?You do know what everywhere means?

Do you think they are the only firm investing in the UK?One small specialist manufacturing business spending a few quid on kit is the exception.
It's just a phrase. If you want specifics, how about one in three small businesses looking to get rid of or stop recruiting due to the increased NI costs. That’s pretty grim, wouldn’t you say?You do know what everywhere means?
A bit like 'they are all coming here'.It's just a phrase.
Correct. That doesn’t literally mean they are ALL coming here. Like when someone says they would give their right eye for something, or the cat got your tongue, or my head's exploded, or paid an arm and a leg for that etc etc etc. Any fool will know that.A bit like 'they are all coming here'.

Lots of firms will be investing in technology due to the need to reduce staff. Lots of other firms will just try to do the same work with fewer people.Do you think they are the only firm investing in the UK?
That's what they told us back in t'day - for the same pay.Lots of firms will be investing in technology due to the need to reduce staff. Lots of other firms will just try to do the same work with fewer people.

That's been the case since the industrial revolutionLots of firms will be investing in technology due to the need to reduce staff. Lots of other firms will just try to do the same work with fewer people.
Luckily we have chief bullshítter MBK on hand.Any fool will know that.
I note you haven’t said where you think the extra money should come from that is needed to bolster the public services destroyed by Tories.Happening everywhere. Thanks to stupid Labour policies.

If you tax businesses more and they shrink what do you think happens to tax receipts?I note you haven’t said where you think the extra money should come from that is needed to bolster the public services destroyed by Tories.
where is the money for the 750,000 people who cant work because they are on NHS waiting list
You don’t want the wealthy being taxed more
You don’t want businesses taxed more
So you must want poor people taxed more
It’s interesting how Tory supporters complain that businesses can’t afford costs to go up….but are quite happy for people on low incomes to be so badly off they cant afford enough to eat or heat their homes
If you tax businesses more and they shrink what do you think happens to tax receipts?
If you tax Employment so that business have to lay people off, who do you think pays their income tax?
Perhaps we need to look at what the NHS does and who it does it for. Last week I met three people, from Egypt, Brazil and India. They had come to the UK on student visa and decided to move their parents wives/husbands, children etc to the UK. Why - free healthcare and free education. One has had a gastric band for her obesity - free, the other has his dad's smoking related lung condition meds fully funded. Hardly a penny paid into the system. Thousands and thousands of benefit, taken out.
I want businesses to be taxed less so that more global companies come to the UK - result more tax revenue.
I want people incentivised to have private medical, education etc. to go to the gym, live healthy lives - result less demand
I want people who come to the UK on visas to be required to have long term health insurance and pay contribution to the public services they consume - day 1.
Correct. No fúcks were given for those on the blunt end of the (self inflicted) Brexit catastrophuck."Adapt or fail", as you have fondly posted - numerous times - before.
When it suits your narrative, of course.
