You make a good point. He's not anywhere near facing the TV. A better way of framing the picture would be over his shoulder so the screen is in view, and give him a hat to wear backwards that says: "MAKE BOZZA GREAT AGAIN"

Your suggestion is just plain humiliating, subjecting people to judgment from their neighbors, or worse, encouraging the poor to pay more to project an image of success. I don't see it that way. There's quite a few places/services do 'pay what you think'. No one would see what anyone pays. You can even miss out the 'suggestions' if that's the issue.

I don't understand why when people on tv keep getting asked "what evidence is there that billionaires aren't paying their taxes" the answer isn't just the loving Panama papers.

To be honest I don't really like the tax evasion thing because, like, even if they did pay their taxes it wouldn't be enough, if you can become a billionaire the taxes aren't high enough.

I only really started getting into politics around about 2008. When the panama papers were first exposed I thought it was really cool how it had come out into the open and that this huge corruption could now be put right. The only thing which I remember coming out of of this is that the journalist who leaked the documents was jailed in Switzerland due to Switzerland having a very harsh "don't leak banking secrets" law.

Oh I’ll be happy either way. I don’t care about the result.
…What the Minister means is that if England wins he’ll be ecstatic, but if they lose he’ll consider that they’re good lads who tried their best.

Ah, I remember the free hospital parking (or any other non-means tested benefits) are a giveaway to the middle class argument from back in the day when Pissflaps would use it endlessly in the Scotpol thread. He'd say free tuition and free prescriptions just helped posh people because poor people get these things for free anyway.

I guess it's some variation of the Tragedy of the Commons? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons Without a fee for parking, people will just park there all day, I suppose people will park there who are actually going somewhere near the hospital but not actually the hospital, etc. This parking will be unavailable for people coming to the hospital, etc. A fee encourages people to not stay long, etc.... I mean I'm unsure why you can't get validation for visitors or patients as opposed to people just parking to go to somewhere nearby, or limit people to 4 hours free, or...
