How can they misread the market when they have Shoprite's books open before them? And when are you going to tell us what you "have to deal with from these idiots every day" so that we have some justification for the continual bile you post about Tesco. Do you work for them or for someone who provides a service to them?

Clickbait article. The monarch's funeral plans are dusted off and revised throughout each reign.

Of course. It's the government.

Fancy asking the miserable bastards here what it's like. They should have asked actual tourists about their experience.

Don't see that as being so bad. They're everywhere, so you could say we're doing well in rooting out the ones that are here.......

You might want to rephrase this. The dummkopf appear to have hold of the wrong end of the stick.

I'm convinced that some of you are misunderstanding this. They aren't filming private areas of the toilets where bodily functions are taking place.

Our share has been rising very healthily since the previous cut, well above inflation, so it isn't like you can say it's a continuing theme from back then. Of course past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future, and we cannot know what happens behind closed doors. The VAT surveys are part of the FERSA method of calculating the share, and date back to the 2016 revision of the agreement, so this aspect is nothing new.

You're dissembling now. I said the wheels would come off and they have. OK, so they are a little dense, and it took the news some time to penetrate.

He does it to get a reaction. He'll grow out of it.

They used to be in Felton's store didn't they? Seem to remember the Looney name over that one.

Ah, so we pay for all the services in a series of hypothecated taxes so that the plain old income tax can be spent solely on the government bureaucracy? Good plan.

If enough people say it will, then it will. If we let them think that this is what we expect then why wouldn't they give us just that?

Yes, that's odd too. 28% seemed low to me. VAT and common duties associated with the Customs Agreement are back up to around £440m now. If that's 28% then the total income of Government would be over £1.5bn, but it's only barely over a billion. They do have some fanciful projections in the coming years of it being £1.3bn+, but projections are much easier to make than to achieve. The agreement is not to be tinkered with lightly.

Totally predictable, and I did so on here. Same mistake Fergie made on his first "retirement". Players mentally down tools. I said back in the thread he should have kept his powder dry until much nearer the end of the season. I got some absolute nonsense from Scouse fans saying it's a different culture at Liverpool than it is at United, and the players are at one with the fans and the spirit of the club. Yeah, right. Looks like it.
