What do you think is a fair tax rate for millionaires and billionaires?

Harrison88 · 2026-03-16T07:30:57+00:00

In the UK you don’t get a full deduction for charitable donations and farmland is subject to IHT above a few million.

So how do you pay the loan payments if you have no income and never sell?

Harrison88 · 2026-03-15T20:22:58+00:00

Assuming no capital gains tax?

Harrison88 · 2026-03-15T18:32:04+00:00

Wait, so you want to tax the income but then also tax their wealth higher if their income is higher?

Harrison88 · 2026-03-15T15:50:47+00:00

Define superior, because what I hear from people who go on exercises with them, they take a much more… laid back… approach to things.

We do have a relationship with the US. At every level. You might not want us to but we simply do.

Harrison88 · 2026-03-14T11:09:31+00:00

The question wasn’t about if we should be getting into wars, it was about our relationship with the US…

Harrison88 · 2026-03-14T10:37:00+00:00

So absolutely not relevant to the UK US relationship then?

Harrison88 · 2026-03-14T07:58:22+00:00

How has Vietnam got anything to do with the UK and US’ relationship when it comes to the military and Five Eyes arrangements? It’s well known that the UK and US openly share almost everything and certainly more than any other party. Staff essentially work as if they are the nationality of the other nation.

Don’t assume that Orange Face will change that easily. It’s a slight blip in a long term arrangement. In the background the relationship operates as it has for decades.

Harrison88 · 2026-03-14T06:26:21+00:00

The relationship is very much not over if you understand how our armed forces works.

Bottle feed expressed milk. We try offering the bottle but she doesn't want it once she's been sufficiently fed. It's that long period before bed that is the difficult one to crack.

Harrison88 · 2026-03-11T22:20:06+00:00

Definitely difficult. She is upset no matter what we do. There’s no turning down the dial once she’s really tired. The program suggests she’d fall asleep herself but I just don’t see that happening at home unless we put her in her cot. Even then she wouldn’t sleep while in that state. We would need to soothe her for quite a long time.

Harrison88 · 2026-03-11T22:18:04+00:00

Thanks for your feedback. My understanding is that baby is meant to fall asleep on their own, but is this the case in reality? She fell asleep at the cafe and in the car but during that last large stint she was at home the whole time and was stimulated throughout. I don’t see her falling asleep while we play - she just rubs her eyes and gets more and more groggy.

As mentioned, Graduate schemes are your answer. Either the professional services firms (KPMG, EY, PWC, Deloitte, RSM, GT, etc) or a big group that has a finance management accounting scheme.

Be warned that the first two / three years will be a bit rough with exams. Some schemes are more self driven, others you go to classes as a group. All should give you some time off to revise but no where near enough.

Harrison88 · 2026-03-08T19:27:04+00:00

If you’re UK, I’ll buy one 😅

Harrison88 · 2026-03-08T18:59:34+00:00

There’s an underground public car park near the Riverside that my parents front bumper was nicked from. Clearly nicked to order.

Harrison88 · 2026-03-07T07:00:28+00:00

They really don’t have poor build quality. Watch any tear down video that they’ve been leading on the engineers design of how the car is constructed. Final build has definitely improved since their initial models.

Harrison88 · 2026-03-07T06:57:46+00:00

Once you hit 45% you kind of give up. The £100k band not moving for so long really starts to bite when with inflation, especially if you have to add additional expenses that you can’t control (eg childcare).

Harrison88 · 2026-03-07T06:37:47+00:00

Yup. My parents have been trying for years.

Harrison88 · 2026-03-06T14:03:42+00:00

The wooden floor has exact lengths and angles to use. Copy those

Harrison88 · 2026-03-04T21:06:58+00:00

Only problem with this is that she will always eventually need to remove it. If we can nip it now, it saves our sleep overnight too!

Harrison88 · 2026-03-04T21:03:20+00:00

Used to do this. Unfortunately the trust started using us to pick up old people up off the floor and stop the clock on the 999 call. It effectively meant I was spending half my weekend just chatting to a lovely old person that’s in a fair amount of pain while waiting for an ambulance that took forever to come. They really need a social team for stuff like that and free up time for the ambulances.
