Anyway, the changing nature of work means that IOMG have to consider some kind of basic income scheme - ideally oriented towards the development of a green economy - whether it suits them idealogically or not Dream on.

Donald Trumps Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Well, we await the Curran report with interest (Unfortunately word on the street has it there are so many civil servants working on it that it is already indistinguishable from a speech by the Chief MInister) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yootalkin2me Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Well that's the price you pay to live in a peaceful, relatively law abiding, safe and beautiful place, so what if things are more expensive here...I've lived in the UK, I was born in England, the Isle of Man is by far way better to live than the UK, even the nicer places in the UK don't come close to this Island.

I'm going to trump your six with a fifteen, I always think pub patronage is a good barometer of the economy and look how that's tanked from the early noughties to now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 UK has a far bigger spread of population to tax and recoup any very expensive Govt errors, notwithstanding a far larger economy full stop. We have liabilities now that far outstrip the fiscal ability to repay. Attempting to do so in the belief that a golden goose will flutter in and resolve the problems is why we are in the position we're in. Remedy should have begun in 2009/10. It didn't.

joebean Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Alf is merely peddling the “it’s all good and no need to worry” message that has been at the core of all Government policy and propaganda in the Quayle administration. The fact is that, on my income, I would be much better off, financially, living in the UK right now, taking my total outgoings into account. There are other reasons that keep me here. One of them used to be Hope, but that is gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
