She can say what she likes, as long as she says it to me over a glass of wine....

No you are just a dimwit little racist.

You don't understand do you? The tax laws allow companies and rich people to avoid taxes legally because they can afford the tax gurus. That means the middle classes pay more. And more and...

Well in that case you can hardly blame citizens for not wanting to make up the slack.... US tax laws are a joke. I don't blame republicans for hating them.

What did this have to do with welfare? Police shot an immigrant with a machete. Other immigrants rioted. The racial mix of the neighbourhood was provided. You can't read, but you know all the...

Yes the internet and social media gives makes everyone a mouthpiece, whether they have any idea what they are talking about or not. Public opinion is like a sponge. Full of air, dry at the top and...

I guess the point is governments have a responsibility to spend taxes wisely for the benefit of the nation. When that connection is obscured, you have an issue. See above. If people don't...

OK why not post that link first. And they did say who the rioters were. Read the article. No different to what happened in the UK last year, only not as widespread. I guess Swedes don't use...

All European models made in Hungary to EU specs. Many models for Japanese and Korean markets are different.  Most Japanese cars built for Europe are made in Sunderland, Swindon and Burnaston. Only...

It takes two to tango....depends which paper you read.  But I would hardly say Sweden is on the ropes in any sense of the word. The issue is about terrorism fears relating to militant groups in the...

Avoidance is legal. That's the whole point. A stupid tax system and high rates means large companies can pay clever tax accountants to legally avoid it. Tax is not ethical, it's a pact between...

Are you talking about the ones back in March in Malmo? The riots were in response to a march by ultra RW anti-Islamist groups. An opposition march was organised in protest and it got out of hand.

Larger companies do like monthly fees. Easier accounting, no investment cost, easy upgrades. But is this the whole story? Not for software.

SAAS licensing has been touted by software companies for...

Yeah, they don't look that good in the mornings....

Oh great, we will only be able to import Japanese cars in future..

Most of whom can't afford a car. Compared to China, the US, South America, all of SE Asia, most of whom do drive. That's 7:1 in population terms, and about 50:1 in car ownership terms. But we buy...

It may amaze you to know that many of them do. Of course, many don't. It has been that way for a very long time. It's a rather different skill, but don't tell me most CEOs are worth their...

You must be dating the wrong ones.... ;-) Your description sounds like the people I see in the local Asda every day, except they smell of marlboroughs, cheap bear and BO and they are not lookers.

The US Tax system is not fit for purpose. It is one of the most complex in the world. Hugely so in fact. It was proved over and over again in the UK that a reasonable tax rate and a simple tax...

GDP in Ireland has fallen back massively as their local financial and property scam boom faltered in 2008 and their banks were caught with massive debts and had to be bailed out. As a result local...
