Not entirely sure you are thinking about the same thing.

RE the council tax....seems a bit odd as I recall they took out the TV license as it started shooting up on the basis that by legal definitions it was a tax and therefore should be excluded from cpi.

Not just uk businesses.

35 degrees is norMal round here most of the year. Still keep a coat at work tho...the air con is feecking freezing. Cinemas are the worst. Have to take a travel blanket.

Pounds down. Maybe someone with buckets of usd or rmb?

I hear it's all been cancelled due to a lone nutter muttering something about Britain while murdering people.

Note...that was supposed to say bunging but autocorrect did what in hindsight is the right thing.

I have a slight suspicion that Ms will be able to trim a load of costs by just bungling it onto their azure infrastructure if it isn't already.

Did it mention the fully expensed house? The private secretaries? The jaunts all over Europe?

Seems to work for houses

We already have interest only. That's even cheaper.

Haha Nature has created an enormous space station, with massively effective deflector shields, and a universal replicator capable of aggressively adapting to a wide range of environments and conditions, and various methods of self replication, automatic healing, and problem solving capabilities. Some of which appear to satisfy various logic definitions of intelligence. Hell of a lot more than we puny humans have managed yet.

It can go 3 main ways. Star trek, communism or children of men.

Only if the state stops gaming it for their own interests.

I'm curious... would you prefer he didn't announce what might happen if some events took place?
