The Words of Wisdom of Boris Johnson - Foreign Secretary

You are upping the ante -you'll never pay half in tax.
I think you're numbers are wrong In 2020 tax year you can earn £50k before paying 40%. (£7.5k a rate of ~15% tax) If it changes and you earn £60 you pay £12.5k tax. thus you 'tax' to the state is a net rate of 21% (Exc NI and pension allowance)

its getting there.. >150k and you are starting to touch the figures... esp if you start raiding pension contributions. If the state wants to pay me when i get old rather than make my own arrangements, then i ok

Loads of 'IFs' in there!

And as the highest MARGINAL rate is (current;y) 45%, Del is absolutely correct that you will never be paying >50% IncomeTax!
 
Don’t forget that the blonde idiot was born outside the U.K., and being an, admitted, class A drug user, is not much different to the Jamaican villains. Other than the obvious colour, creed & class !

Don’t say such things... bozo May send Miller to Jamaica next ...

The blond boy is a British Citizen holding a British passport I think you'll find. The other point may be to do with the fact that one was a user and the other was a dealer.

Torys carry out legislation initiated by a Labour Government and Labour give them stick. Mad world.

Is Rolf Harris an Aussie or Brit? Love the fact that Tories already blaming Labour despite being in power for nearly a decade now.

Well on his show this evening on LBC Farage was pushed into saying that he’d have Harris sent back to Oz on his release to demonstrate that there was nothing ‘special’ about the Jamaicans being sent ‘home’ and that it should be one rule for all. Fair dinkum Nigel.
 
Who's blaming Labour
So if you’re not blaming Labour or even trying to put some responsibility on to them, why even mention them?

Surely the tories have had enough time to review this legislation, take responsibilty and make decisions for themselves?

Perhaps it's good legislation and has the support of all party's. As people have pointed out, if it's good then it should be carried out equally amongst all offenders.

As Harris was the child of Welsh immigrants there's a chance he has dual nationality, who knows.

Fair points, not what came across in your initial response though.;)
 
Interesting way for Boris to sack Javid i.e. not sack him but then effectively insisting he kneels and kisses his ring knowing full well he wouldn't. Why didn't he just sack him?

Because Cummings 'sacked' him buy telling him that he had to get rid of all of his advisers in the treasury...?

And who is now going to write the budget...? Nice wealthy man of the people but inexperienced Sunak - or Johnson and Cummings - sorry - Cummings and Johnson.
