Seat68 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I think Beth might be referring to a proposal from earlier in the year. Unless I missed it, I don't think it has been passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot have the oiks attending our prestigious educational establishments. I've even heard that someone from a council estate got in to Oxford at one point.

As soon as they picked that up to release it, boom there was the good old money tree. Pure coincidence. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the direction they want us to though but straight back to focusing on the proven lying bastard we have running the country.

Davkaus Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 But what about investment in innovation? Amazing what's possible when there's a scandal to cover up. It's a decent package, and something was desperately needed, but the motivation **** reeks. They were perfectly content to let people struggle until the polls made it clear it was time for a bribe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Maybe someone can correct me if i’m wrong, but I thought that within the breakdown of my gas & electric bill is a portion of money that is allocated for investment in technologies, environment and such? Is that still the case? If so then the claim from Boris that a windfall tax might cause a reluctance to invest is complete bollocks (surprise). Money for investments comes from the consumers. Profits are separate. Edited May 26, 2022 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a cynical response. As Mr Sunak just said, he was waiting on information before deciding the best course of action. I mean, this obviously wasn't mentioned when they voted on a windfall tax last week but I'm sure it was a genuine oversight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
