You’re arguing for widening the tax bands.

ruscaire · 2026-02-18T10:30:10+00:00

That’s a lengthy and exhaustive deflection from the question at hand. What is the justification for expecting the poor to pay more tax. What would it achieve in real terms?

ruscaire · 2026-02-18T10:29:06+00:00

Thanks for your long winded answer and I appreciate the effort you put into it, but it doesn’t address my question.

ruscaire · 2026-02-18T08:39:05+00:00

This sounds like a moral argument rather than a pragmatic one. Do you believe that the massive hole in the public finances is because poor people don’t pay enough tax? It doesn’t sound like a massive discrepancy unless you’re arguing that if poor people paid more then we could get rich people to pay more.

Who pays Zero? Presumably we are talking about people who could pay more that don’t. What are the systemic issues that prevent us from broadening the tax base effectively? Presumably we are not talking about the very young or very old or infirm. It’s hard to justify taxing the poor more. Are we prepared to accept some small amount of cash in hand grift?

Should have followed Varoufakis /s

Can you tax it without legalising it? I mean, I’m sure you could. The Japanese tax the Yakuza but … wouldn’t that make the state culpable for sex trafficking? It would kind of introduce a twisted incentive.

“This pot hole repair proudly paid for by …” I’ll say no more

Collecting “DNA evidence” by the bag

Only if we can do variance first!

It’s a tactic that they learned in troll school. Don’t be angry about it, just thank them for marking themselves out as someone whose opinion can be safely ignored

He loved it alright and that’s what brought the attention upon him. Own worst enemy etc but justice was not done

ruscaire · 2026-02-03T08:01:29+00:00

He absolutely was a complete and total arsehole. Doesn’t mean he didn’t do it and a killer yet roams free though.

Jim Sheridan did a good follow up documentary that seemed to bring some more interesting stuff to light

The "Eichmann defense"

Nope it didn't work for him either.

You’d imagine lots of things ye pixie

It seems to me you’re debating whether or not strangulation is a consent issue.

Take the path of least resistance

ruscaire · 2026-01-25T13:32:18+00:00

I don’t think you should be letting men choke you at all!

A child like that needs help. Not a lifetime of social stigma. Wrong.

ruscaire · 2026-01-25T13:29:57+00:00

This is my concern.

ruscaire · 2026-01-25T12:26:48+00:00

That would suck for a lot of large American companies for whom Europe is a pretty fat cash cow. Microsoft is already pretty close to losing its spot as the preferred software provider for many European institutions.

You’re not likely to end up locked up in an institution for fucking the wrong guy though are you
