Sadly the reality is this.

Regardless of whether it is fair or not, pensioners did not save enough or reproduce enough to cover the costs of their own retirement

They are also most likely to vote against immigrants who might do the work needed to pay for the shortfall

When they stop being scared of the flipping media

For the past 10-15 years you’ve enjoyed an upwards trajectory and the first shit we tread in you’re ready to throw them out? Really?

This isn’t an issue of trust. How can they have lost your trust? That would imply they did something devious or conniving to actively damage the club

Whatever about the results being less than ideal, it isn’t about trust

No I’m suggesting that the deductible is reduced by the tax credits your underpaid staff receive

Say this company was underpaying its staff by 20 the situation may change

PCTCT (as before). 60
Tax credit restriction 20
Revised PCTCT. 80
Tax at 25%. (20)
Profit. 40

Therefore the billionaire can withdraw £5 less due to the restriction

Sure, it’s the rate of corporation tax

Wages (including employers NIC) are “allowable” expenses which means they are deducted from profits chargeable to corporation tax

Therefore these costs reduce the amount of tax you pay eg

Sales 100
Wages (40)
PCTCT. 60
Tax. (15)
Profit. 45

The best World Cup ever.

I will hear no arguments to the contrary.

Would obviously not apply to apprentices and trainees

But if you’re a billionaire who doesn’t pay your staff enough that the state / taxpayer is picking up the rest of the bill and you’ve been able to extract even more cash from your business due to these subsidies- then that needs addressing IMO

Staff receiving tax credits could easily be identified through personal tax codes

The level of corporation tax relief on wages could be restricted by value of credits given

Encourages fairer wages, reduces subsidies for profitable business & burden on the taxpayer.

Why should large employers receive tax relief at 25% on salaries / wages paid to staff that are so low the taxpayer has to top them up with tax credits? Esp. Someone like Amazon

It’s an obvious absurdity. A double dip. Second bite of the cherry.

At a time when benefits bill is higher than ever

I think we’ll be ok. We have enough to keep mid-table

The more I think about it the more I think we are missing Locks on pitch and in the dressing room (which is in no way a criticism)

Carlton the de facto leader at the moment but is it only temporary in squad players minds?

If she feels so bad about scroungers she could hand back her pension and go back to work?

Whilst it initially applied to Bontcho, I have been able to apply Guentchev’s Law in many other ways to scientifically prove Luton are better than anyone else in order to irritate the crap out of my mates

Does anyone else have other ridiculous / irritating Luton banter techniques from school?

😂 I invented something called Guentchev’s Law at school

When he played for Bulgaria in the semi final of the World Cup I argued this placed him in the top 44 players in the world and thus Luton had the best player in Division One as it was then

It stumped my mates completely and utterly
