PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

Monster (twat) deploying his one electoral tactic ...monster blame-game

View attachment 182509

He will blame his opponents, or those stereotypes beloved of the right-wing media - Bungling Brussels Bureaucrats - when it all goes tits up.

His reasons for suspending Parliament are about as convincing as a penguin dressing up as a chicken by putting a rubber glove on its head.

I've just been looking into this pretty massive tax cut that Johnson has promised for higher earners. Earnings over £46,350 to £150k are currently taxed at 40%. He is proposing to move the banding up from £46,350 up to £80k. I reckon (though my Friday maths may be wrong) that means best part of £7k a year extra straight into the sky rocket for anyone earning £80k or above. That's massive and going to cost the country crazy amounts of money. Its strange how the country can suddenly afford things like this when they are the beneficiary.

Pertaining to nothing but the annual salary for a UK MP is £79,468.
The banding for NI will go up at the same time, so the effective saving is something like 10% rather than 20%, ie. more like £3,500. Your point still stands but might as well get the maths right.

Mind you, anybody getting their income from their investments rather than a pay packet isn’t paying any NI at all...

What's the NIC proposal, 12% up to the 80k instead of 50k or something?

Yes, the upper earnings threshold would be raised in line with the upper tax band to keep them aligned. So the corridor from 45k to 80k would have an effective marginal rate including NIC of 32% rather than the current 42%.

It’s definitely worth noting, though, that those obtaining income independently from work don’t pay NIC. This means the proposed change is a big benefit in particular to wealthy pensioners and others that live off their ownership of capital — dividends, rent etc.
 
The thing about a dog (great animals) is they bring out the inner fascist in some people 'sit', 'stay', 'fetch' 've ask as qwestyions'. Perfect for a bastard like Johnson.
Larry the cat can't be as easily controlled.
Cats are great animals too.
 
May did this about 10 times though, and I stood by the TV ready for her to resign/call an election/break down live on air, and every time she just came out and said 'Brexit means Brexit' or some other similar vague bollocks, and then walked back in. Fucking timewaster.
 
from the beeb coverage, it looks like our erstwhile pm is trying to bully parliament; making threats and so on.

this is making me more anxious than ever ...
