I never went that level, but I did used to post the odd thing on a football rumours website (purely because it was funny) and for a while within a day or two those “rumours” would surface on either 606 or this forum. 😂

You can have a local property tax based on local values - update the values if you want to. Have a tax that reflects the cost of local services and spend the money on local services. This appears to be a central taxation strategy for redistribution nationally which has littlebearing on local matters (sort of contrary to Burnham's proposals for devolution) under the badge of a local property tax.

Give THB the captains armband

They'd have to want to sign you. I have absolutely no idea if the Blackburn rumour is true, but I doubt he has too many options (due to his injuries and salary expectations) so maybe they are the best 'northern' option avaialble to him, if thats what he's looking for.

You're probably right, but seems a bit random for a Blackburn fan to be touting Stewart. No smoke without fire and all that.

The current system is based on historic rateable value. The new idea being floated is based on an updated rateable value. The concept is well established. What do you propose instead? No flannel please, just your proposal.

Made by dim people who want to pay less yes. I don’t think it is a great system btw but saying I only use this so should pay that is no basis of a taxation system for society

Then you'd go to any number of other northern clubs with better prospects.

Well intelligent people. As you live in a bigger house you need to contribute more to child social care as you will use it more isn’t a line anyone has pedalled to my knowledge

I think THB is in a bit of a weird situation in that some things he does at an excellent level - attacking headers, picking passes going forward - but some things he's not great at for the top level, like defending against pacey and strong attackers like the top teams have. I'm not sure if a PL team would come in for him, even a lower half one, if we're asking for 20 mill+. He might be better suited to somewhere like Spain or Italy actually.

I've heard this argument been made a number of times. Its just different to the current approach but doesnt mean its wrong. This forum seems to have an issue with anyone who makes a suggestion which goes against the grain of the 'centrists' that have hijacked it.

Me, me, me, I, I, I ...

Back from Kefalonia last Thursday, nearby in Skala for two weeks. My third visit in four years. I agree about Fiskardo, its like a lot of 'yachty' places in the Ionian. Could include Agios Stefanos Sinion near Kassiopi in Corfu and to a lesser extent Vathy and Kioni on Ithaca and Gaios on Paxos in a list of similar places. Not a huge fan of Myrtos Beach either, anywhere that is an Instagram must photograph location gets a thumbs down from me.

And they are off. The 'centrists' who cant sensibly debate anything. You have an anger issue. Seek therapy.

a) How would you know? and b) I just did. I'm just making a point.

Income tax already has a scale whereby if you earn more you pay more tax. In terms of Council tax this is for paying for local public infrastrucure. you havent answered why somebody in a 5 bed in London should pay the same as someone in Blackpool in a 5 bed property (who benefits from a lower cost of living) and that money doesnt go to the local area that the larger council tax payer lives in.

Because he prefers the North?

Can't be arsed to read what he said, it would probably bore me as much as his brand of football.

There is no Blackburn link. It was a Blackburn fan on X changing his username to a journalist and pretending there was a link.

You do realise no one has made this argument ever? It’s a wealth assessment, albeit quite flawed

Taxation for selfish cunts. Wish they'd all piss off to Dubai with their fake mates.

Maybe single people should pay 5 times less tax than someone with a family of 5. More people to defend so should be contributing proportionally to the defence budget. Maybe let them off any tax that contributes to education as well?

Wont stop Ralphy boy banging on and on though

Why?

Tonda is only going to be the manager for another three days so it won't matter what he thinks....
