When he posts some substantive reasons to like keith "wet eggs" strummer, it'd be worth giving him the time of the day. Coming in here to call everyone a different shade of commie than you like to piss you off is just going in his spank bank. If he had anything decent to contribute to the thread (like why smithers is good) he would have already done so.

Yes guys I'm really sorry I can't answer ten guys dunking on me at once that must mean keirs an irredeemable poo poo heel  Also that whole "job" thing Im quite keen on since it gives me money to to, you know, put some food in mine and family's mouth so I can't poo poo post all the loving time in detail. One thing I will at least point to with the corporation tax vote is that keirs absolutely right. The coronavirus financial package has been stonking but the GFC showed pretty hard what happens when you cut out the demand from surplus cash on hand it becomes an incredibly difficult situation to come back from since everyone is sitting on everyone else's hands. And by numbers that will affect a lot of self employed people who don't need an excuse not to vote Labour as they feel abandoned by them already. Its not great by any means but it is practical ™ Maybe we could try and look at things like labour got bent over a knee and spanked by the opposition to an 80 seat majority because newsflash that's what happened and the wilderness isn't just calling but sat outside our house in a car.

Zero Gravitas posted:I mean is it any wonder when no one stays around when the response to "maybe the guy isnt as terrible as you think" is to call me a troll and dunk all at once? ZG, this is a genuine question: do you think that making this your first post in this iteration of the thread: Zero Gravitas posted:Is there a non cpgb ukmt on SA? Might have created the impression that you had literally no interest in staying around and were in fact just here to troll? Maybe you didn't intend it as such but I'd take the meaning of that post to be "Hey commies, could you direct me to a thread that doesn't suck?", which I would take both as you trolling and attempting to dunk on the posters here, by implying that the only worth they might have to you is directing you to people you might actually like to have a conversation with. In that context, I really don't feel you have standing to complain if people snipe back.

Is this the tax change that only taxes company profits of £50,000 or above? How many self employed people will that impact (you mentioned numbers so let's have a number please) And of that number, how many were voting Labour anyway lmao

You don't need to respond to each poster individually because everyone is asking the same thing: what compelling, specific qualities and policies is Starmer bringing to Labour? As far as I can tell from your recent posts you consider his greatest hits to be: not being Corbyn, following the Tories to the right, and opposing raising corporation tax. If that's everything you want from politics I suppose that's up to you, but it's not the kind of thing that is going to make me personally go to the ballot and I don't reckon that "lower taxes for some companies" is quite the battle cry that's going to bring millions to Labour at the next GE. The Tories tend to actually offer things their voters want, even if I think those things are bad.

If the corporation tax rise is bad why did Keith say he would do it during his leadership campaign Even if you take the idea that you don't want to reduce demand by raising taxes during a pandemic you could have made an argument that we didn't want to raise taxes on SMEs but needed but companies to pay their fair share or something. *Anything*. I've said it before but the lack of imagination in the current Labour party is staggering, just no ideas about how to get out of our situation, just pleading for votes from Nigel in Worthington who thinks David Lammy should show his birth certificate or be stripped as an MP.

If you're the owner/director of a Limited Company you're not self employed, you're employed by your company. Self employed really only applies to sole traders afaik.

Darth Walrus posted:BTW, Camrath, fudge arrived, and one minor complaint - each bag was a single slab rather than individual chunks, making sharing it amongst the family a tad more challenging. Feedback is noted. For the record, the reason for the switch to slabs is that people were already cutting the chunks into smaller pieces (quite wisely; each chunk was about 100cal on it’s own!). Given that it’s being cut smaller already for consumption, putting it in slabs means less surface area to expose to the air and thus increased shelf life. It’s also a lot easier to pack, and spare me the sniggering at the back of the class. :p
