Westminstenders: Move Your Business To The EU

The government is advising people to move their businesses to the EU to avoid UK taxation and red tape.

Why would you do this?

For the interests of the uk?

Or is it about power WITHIN the uk?

@JustAnotherPoster00

It's a pretty safe bet, as we know it won't be well off white men that dangle.

Lets start out with peadophiles because thats an easy narrative to push for capitol punishment, then any dissent can be batted away with, why dont you want to deal with child rapists, then the mission creep will start

Especially foreign paedophiles. The worst kind.

Really interesting discussion on the Osbourne article and related ponts this morning, thanks all. I can't honestly see capital punnishment being reintroduced in the UK.

Interestingly the changes to remove it were more incremental than I'd realised starting with the reduction in the scope of offences for which somebody could be charged with Capital Murder as far back as 1957.

Maybe in the same was as the slow removal of capital punnishment, stretching from 1957 to 1998? a slow reintroduction as Just suggests might be proposed but I seriously doubt it.

The phrase hiding in plain sight springs to mind.

FullFact - March 2020;

Many people have shared a video of Prime Minister Boris Johnson appearing on This Morning on Thursday 5 March, claiming it shows he advocates allowing the new coronavirus to spread through the population and that the country should “take it on the chin.”

This clipped video segment has been taken out of context. ...

OUR VERDICT
The Prime Minister said this was a theory on how to deal with the virus, but said it would be better if we take all the measures we can to reduce the burden on the NHS during the peak of the disease.

fullfact.org/health/boris-johnson-coronavirus-this-morning/

October 2007 article in the Telegraph;

All the evidence shows that we can help reduce population growth, and world poverty, by promoting literacy and female emancipation and access to birth control.

The ECHR will remain an obstacle to the reinstatement of capital punishment for as long as NI remains in the Union.

Peregrina · 27/01/2021 13:19

Clavinova - I don't think we need any cutnpaste extolling Johnson's opinions on population growth when he has made a personal contribution to increasing the population as much as he can.

Peregrina · 27/01/2021 13:21

The ECHR will remain an obstacle to the reinstatement of capital punishment for as long as NI remains in the Union.

All the more reason for the rabid right of the Tory party to sacrifice NI to reunification.

Im going to have to be difficult aren't i?

"Can you remember what the capital of Ireland is? Yes thats right its Belfast"

Ffs. Lets just erase history, geography and politics and teach 5 and 6 year olds bollocks.

Yes. If that is being taught you need to email the Head as it is both incorrect and could cause great offence

Peregrina - none of his children were born into poverty though. And their mothers are emancipated career women, earning, or capable of earning high salaries in their own right.

The right in parliament/government tend to be quite unionist in the DUP sense of the word, but the rank and file of the Tory party don't give a shit about NI.

Mistigri · 27/01/2021 13:47

the rank and file of the Tory party don't give a shit about NI.

As has been repeatedly shown in the MN threads on Brexit: for a certain type of voter, both the Belfast agreement and human lives are disposable. (It's no coincidence that there is an overlap on Brexit, capital punishment and covid denial).

Comparing his current turnover to his trading year 2019/2020 almost completely ignores the effect of coronavirus. What is the name of the business?

slitheringsnakes · 27/01/2021 13:50

The most serious problem caused by over-population is global warming. Boris Johnson's many (does he know how many) children will cause far more damage to the environment than poor children will. It is far MORE important for wealthy men and women not to have children.

[quote SabrinaThwaite]More winning:

Lough Neagh eel fishermen will have to find new markets for a fifth of their catch due to Brexit and the operation of the Northern Ireland Protocol.

It means finding new buyers for 50 tonnes of eels, worth £500,000, just months before the start of this year's season.

The fish would traditionally have gone to Billingsgate Market in London and been sold as jellied eels.

But the complexities of Brexit mean that trade is no longer possible.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-55818519[/quote]
I recall that the Gloucester glass eel business had just one market in the UK: Northern Ireland to restock Lough Neagh.

Truly the the wonders of Brexit have no limits.

ListeningQuietly · 27/01/2021 13:56

Boris Johnson's six / seven / eight children
have the same carbon footprint as many thousand Africans
they are therefore MUCH MORE of a burden

Why would he need to relocate to Belgium if company fall in turnover was due to Covid?

You do so enjoy pointing out how badly countries like Belgium are managing Covid, so it would be a bit daft to relocate there because of Covid, no?

Covid is such a timely excuse, isn’t it?

By the looks of it, we're the only island in the top 50.

You have forgotten about Northern Ireland - it's attached to a different island.
