Melissa McCarthyism: Jan 18, 2007

Anyone any idea about tax credits? I was overpaid for 2018-2019 so i've been paying off around 500 quid for the last few months. Yesterday I received my annual review. Based on my income for 2019-2020 my award is like �1147 quid, based off an income of 12500.

So I'm confused but planning to just fire it into a savings account so if next year they want it all back I won't be caught out again. Fair dos.

But today I receive another letter from HMRC telling me my provisional tax credit award for 2020-2021 is �0, based off an income of �15426??? How did they get that figure? (*EDIT*Oh It's my earnings for 2018-2019)I'm not even sure what to put for working hours as I'm furloughed and will be for at least another couple months.

This has not yet been proved and I don't think we should surrender until it has. We've not even had one conference. The last NEC results have helpfully reminded the left of the importance of slate voting whether you completely agree with the slate or not.

It was the loss of mass membership that allowed a cabal of useless shits to take over in the first place, I'm not convinced that mass abandoning the party will make the neolibs, centrists, careerists and Blue Labour crew learn any lesson, low membership low engagement parties are the sewer in which they swim.

Then it can be 90s/00s triangulation and state stripping forever as the world slowly boils, just like the Matrix.

I guess we know who one of the two is now, anyone know the whereabouts of Amelia Bullmore?

In Ghana, a political storm erupted over accusations of Airbus payments to a relative of a government official in connection with the purchase of military transport planes.

Britain�s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) said the agent had no aerospace experience, having previously worked in football merchandising and as a facilities manager. It did not say what the agent, who had been helped by two unnamed British television actors, did with the money.

President Nana Akufo-Addo�s office said Ghana would �conduct a prompt inquiry to determine the complicity or otherwise of any Ghanaian government official, past or present�.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC), which was in power at the time, said claims that Airbus paid bribes were false.

Been getting big Tommy vibes ever since the first clap tbh

quote:

I WENT into a public 'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, " We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, go away " ;
But it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, wait outside ";
But it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide.

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap.
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, 'ow's yer soul? "
But it's " Thin red line of 'eroes " when the drums begin to roll
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's " Thin red line of 'eroes, " when the drums begin to roll.

We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, fall be'ind,"
But it's " Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's " Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind.

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Chuck him out, the brute! "
But it's " Saviour of 'is country " when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An 'Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!

I've got somewhere the bit of paper that was pinned to my grandad's lapel after the first battle of El-Alamein, which lists his injuries including six bullet wounds, 78 shrapnel wounds, a fractured skull, 17 other bone fractures and "partial loss" of his hand, amongst other things. I've also got a letter, dated 1947, explaining that he was not entitled to any additional financial support because his "permanent disability is not expected to exceed 20% in any of the defined categories". I should get round to making it into an image macro for whenever anyone claims soldiers were ever treated like "heroes".

It's arguable that in fiction as well as history this is what being treated like a hero really means and that there's nothing actually inconsistent or hypocritical about it. We demand everything of heroes and then treat them like utter poo poo when it comes time to pay them back, that's the deal.

See what makes it a joke is that Boris bringing back his MPs might get them killed, so I am facetiously suggesting we credit Starmer with causing their deaths. Which is something most people in this thread would approve of but we can reasonably assume is not his intention.

I'm sure you can appreciate the humour now, after the laborious and unfunny explanation.

announcement in March

guidance actually published in May

seems to me this leaves it entirely up to the employer to decide? ours is taking a blanket ban of no-one gets to carry over anything. but I can't see I've anything in law to stand on to argue against that.
so if you had a 2 weeks trip away had to be cancelled in April, you can't actually bank those days for when you're able to reschedule but have to use them up sitting around at home with Netflix. unless your business is so disrupted that the employer denies any leave requests, e.g. too many colleagues off sick, or so much extra work generated.

bit of a let down isn't it

That's proper poo poo mine has allowed all entitlement to be carried over, they've been pretty good over the last few years 17/18 I was only able to take around 10 days so carried mine over and in 18/19 I had 70 days total for the year.
