HBOS and the theory of moral sentiments 10:18pm on 29 Oct 2008
125. At 9:56pm on 29 Oct 2008, oldnat.

i tried to register a new user name but they keep on saying that i have to reply to their email, which they don't send me.

i would not like the lib dems to be blamed for not understanding the scotland act in respect to LIT.
it was nulab that wrote up the scotland act ( dewar / smith / wendy ) i believe.

88. At 4:49pm on 29 Oct 2008, salmondella.

posters please note that salmondella does not believe in democracy and the scottish government is only to talk about the things that the nulabour camp in westminster says they are to talk about.

try getting westminster to stop making the scottish government repeatedly ask for funds that should come to scotland, and that westminster are withholding because its the SNP that are having to ask.

get your nulab/li-dem chums to oust the minority scottish government and wait and see the backlash at the next elections.

the only embarrassment that is going about is called GORDON BROWN the financial genius that has saved the worlds finances whilst bankrupting the UK.

Privately HMRC officials went farther and one senior source said: “This is pie in the sky. The logistical arrangements for collecting this tax would be incredible.

“Introducing changes to the personal allowance in September took months and months and this could take even longer
-------------------------------------------------------

i believe that the above statment is in reference to the allowing local councils to each set their own rate and not to the single rate scotland wide.

if it is in reference to the single LIT rate and he is saying that it would take months and months to sort out then i suggest that he take early retirement as he is usless.

yes, it appears that nulab are realy worried that LIT could be passed.

GB says that the tory opposition are not prepared for government.

So what's the truth? I don't know. I do know that I feel embarrassed for myself and for Scotland every time I see Salmond on TV these days.

--------------------------------------------------------

you are embarracing yourself with your post 65.

more and more you are posting along the same lines as expat, sneering but no substance to your sneers.

--------------------------------------------------------
Et tue, Norway? I see a top Norwegian politician is rubbishing Salmond's claims of similarity between his country and Scotland, and is quite angry that the SNP are trying to "adopt" Norway for themselves, while the Norwegians rather like their relationship with the whole UK.

---------------
the SNP are trying to adopt norway, you cannot be serious.
does the norwegian politician happen to be a member of the norwegian labour party and his comments are his bit to help his beleagred comrades at westminster.
--------------------------------------------------------
I see a top UK tax officer is rubbishing Salmond's LIT plan as a bit of a ludicrous farce.
--------------
why does he think that it is a ludicrous farse, as you give no details as to why he says this, and why he comes out with it at this particular time just before the glenrothes by-election.
is he towing the nulabour party line.

--------------------------------------------------------
I see the polls suggest Labour are closing in fast on Glenrothes. I suppose it's just anti-Scottish media lies.
--------------
yes, we see it to and i believe that you will see it swing the other way once the electorate realise that GB and AD are acting against scotlands interest.

--------------------------------------------------------
Not a good day for the smug smirk - according to the anti-Scottish media liars.

---------------
yes i did notice the smiles breaking out from GB when he was saying that there was only the one offer on the table for HBOS, but niether GB or AD will clarify whether they are prepared to give HBOS funds the same as the other banks if the merger goes ahead.
he is so delighted that HBOS may be merged with LLOYDS TSB and scotland may lose its HBOS edinburgh headquarters that he cannot maintain his serious look, and smiles whilst talking about it.

does he care about the people that will be made unemployed, NO, as long as he feels that he has pulled one over the SNP.

good post, and so true.

12. At 4:05pm on 28 Oct 2008, brigadierjohn.

i suggest you stop reading expats posts because you are starting to rant the same way as he does.

one thing that i have noticed, is that none of the new labour in scotland msps are talking about the merger and the merits/de-merits of it.

have they received their orders from london.

GORDON BROWNS legacy for the residents of the UK.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders has estimated that 45,000 homes in the UK will be repossessed in 2008, up from 27,100 last year.

The Bank's Financial Stability Report has estimated that 500,000 homeowners in the UK are in negative equity as a result of a 13% fall in UK property prices since their peak in October last year.

and he wants people to vote for him.
Entertaining tax changes 3:27pm on 28 Oct 2008
120. At 2:24pm on 28 Oct 2008, MalcolmW2.

point 1 - you could possible name it :-
scottish local income tax - SLIT
english local income tax - ELIT
welsh local income tax - WLIT

point 2 - as all collections are computerised, then there may be an extra cost to change the computer program, but i see minimal running costs once that has been sorted.

HMCR is funded by the scottish taxpayer as well as the rest of the UK, but it may be that some initial extra charge be made to scotland.

as far as i know, centre 1 in east kilbride is still functioning and collect the PAYE for scotland, and i suppose that all residents in scotland would be transfered to centre 1, including those that are self employed.

why i say the above sentence, is that being self employed my tax is dealt with from liverpool, but i cannot speak for others.
