I agree, it's strange for the fallout to precede the nuke.

Nobody is arguing that cuts have to be made. People are arguing where to make those cuts.
Tell you what, scrap HS2 for £8bn and scrap the Trident replacement for £3bn and add 1p onto the higher rate of income tax for £1bn.
£12bn without touching a single service.
exactly. right wing i may be but this is what i would do.
Most fair mind people would, people keep saying we can't spend what we have not got, so why spend 8 billion ( and it will be more than that) on Trident, if we can't afford the welfare state we can't afford Trident

How about this idea instead. Cut foreign aid & withdraw from the EU. No more cuts have to be made.
The US passed a piece of legislation called FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) in 2010 and all financial institutions, wherever they're based, have had to comply with it. It requires US citizens, wherever they live, to report all earnings. It also requires financial institutions to report any earnings that they have paid to people they suspect to be US Citizens. Axelrod would have to report it and pay tax on it in the USA and whoever paid the money would also have to report it. He would declare it in his tax return to the IRS at the end of the tax year (next April) and pay any tax due based on that return.Lucky13 said:EalingBlue2 said:Lucky13 said:Beaker employed David Axelrod who helped Obama win his Election , he was paid £300k, he didn't pay tax on his earnings, what was it that Beaker said about tax avoiders?
Pray how do you know the private tax affairs of David axelrod? I would assume he didn't pay UK tax (in the main) as he would have been tax resident in the U.S, at the end of the next U.S. Tax year his company or he personally would pay tax in the US. This happens to literally millions of people around the world so it is the biggest non story this board has seen!
Plenty of newspaper reports , Beaker made such an issue of this I would of thought he'd have done the right thing just as He did with the the money he inherited.
