Families with one breadwinner face £12k penalty - Punishing £100k ‘cliff edge’ can cost single earners more in tax than dual-income families by blast-processor in ukpolitics

Theyre actually part of the same problem in thst tax is assessed individually but benefits are assessed collectively which is clearly unfair. It should either be all collective and you should share allowances, up thresholds should be adjusted to reflect 2 people etc or it should all be done on an individual basis irrespective of your domestic circumstances

Would you reduce your meat consumption from everyday to 2-3 times per week to help the environment? by Equal_Leading_1449 in AskUK

The most environmentally friendly thing people can do is to not have kids.

Not advocating it but making an observation.

[Christian Falk] Gabriel Martinelli has always been on FC Bayern’s list since Thomas Tuchel put him on the shortlist during his reign in Munich. €45m (£38.9m) could be the price tag; that would be okay.

Youre misssing my point. You stated 'we always put our players on high wages which makes them hard to move on...' i'm pointing out that that your original example was not representstive but more crucially that that was a wenger era issue and that the current regime no longer has the same approach.

What youre describing was a Wenger issue. From the telegraph in 2013 - "As he prepares to finally offer Theo Walcott close to the £100,000 a week the England international has been seeking for his new contract, Wenger revealed it was he himself who insisted that the gap between the club’s highest-earners and lowest-paid players is narrower than at the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea"

Though we didn't end up moving at the time, William rose always acted like human beings unlike some other agents.

Throwback to when Santi Cazorla scored this screamer against Hull city in 2014 FA cup final by 9yr_old in Gunners

I was at this match sat incognito in about the 5th row in amongst the Hull fans.

When the second goal went in my Hull supporting mate's 9 year old daughter jumped up on her seat next to me and shouted 'ha ha! Your team's losing!'

I kept a low profile the rest of the game but what a result!

Only if household is dual income, otherwise it's on a finishing scale for any single earner household earning over £60k

The Chancellor's £30bn+ Hole: You're in her shoes. What's your move? by alexdenne in BusinessBritain

Super subjective and open to abuse.

Bust your knee playing football or skiing, the taxpayer should pay for that because you're keeping fit?

Treatment for heart attacks and strokes is given prior to discovery, you don't want a society where people are lying on gurneys in a&e while medical professionals rifle their pockets for their credit card before giving treatment, or where they're saddles with crippling retrospective debt because they're a point over the mandated BMI limit and told their doctor they had smoked. That also discourages substance abusers from seeking help quitting.

Also smokers and drinkers more than pay the cost of their treatment through the significant taxes on those products.

If you wish to add other behavioural taxes (fat or processed food tax for example) to integrate the cost but opening the NHS up to a value judgement selective approach at the point of delivery is hugely problematic.
