Just simplify taxation

2019-10-09 16:22:15 UTC  

It is pretty simple really

2019-10-09 16:22:18 UTC  

Simplify taxation and welfare - it's the complication that allows the grey areas where dodginess, illegality, and problems grow

2019-10-09 16:22:19 UTC  

For most people

2019-10-09 16:22:40 UTC  

If you've ever had to try and sort out welfare for people, you'd find it's very not-simple

2019-10-09 16:23:04 UTC  

Last time I had to file taxes, it was needlessly complicated

2019-10-09 16:23:16 UTC  

Even income tax is way too complicated

2019-10-09 16:23:20 UTC  

National Insurance

2019-10-09 16:23:27 UTC  

Why do we even bother? Just have one fucking tax

2019-10-09 16:26:01 UTC  

@Eccles "Just have one fucking tax" Amen brother.

> Johnson also reiterated his pledge not to form an alliance with Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party.

2019-10-09 16:37:09 UTC  

Yet i'm a doomer for not being optomistic?

2019-10-09 16:37:55 UTC  

new evidence suggests optimistic people live longer

2019-10-09 16:38:09 UTC  

I doubt it

2019-10-09 16:38:15 UTC  

They won't be optomistic when their optomisim is proven wrong

2019-10-09 16:38:22 UTC  

Optimistic people are just going to be let down more

2019-10-09 16:38:40 UTC  

At least pessimists have already prepared for the worst

2019-10-09 16:39:36 UTC  

"It is unclear how exactly optimism helps people attain longer life. "Other research suggests that more optimistic people may be able to regulate emotions and behavior as well as bounce back from stressors and difficulties more effectively,""

I hope Farage's video titles eventually become "NIGEL FARAGE SHOOTS UP THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND KILLS REMOANERS WITH FACTS AND LOGIC"

2019-10-09 16:41:47 UTC  

farage does not hold back in that video

2019-10-09 16:42:40 UTC  

Probably about as strong a language as he's allowed to use

2019-10-09 16:43:19 UTC  

i think he crossed their line

2019-10-09 16:43:23 UTC  

What line?

2019-10-09 16:43:30 UTC  

strength of language

2019-10-09 16:43:34 UTC  

Nope

2019-10-09 16:43:37 UTC  

they got pissy when he said that they EU were like a mafia

2019-10-09 16:43:42 UTC  

lol

2019-10-09 16:44:06 UTC  

it would have been nice to see their response after he said this

2019-10-09 16:44:43 UTC  

Like what?

2019-10-09 16:45:07 UTC  

NI joins southern ireland probably

2019-10-09 16:46:09 UTC  

That is their right

2019-10-09 16:46:16 UTC  

But it won't happen here and now

2019-10-09 16:47:16 UTC  

i think even if Boris let them annex NI, they would still say the deal is unworkable and ask for more gibs or something

2019-10-09 16:47:44 UTC  

THe deal won't pass parliament, regardless

2019-10-09 16:51:11 UTC  

new deal, RoI becomes a devolved part of the UK with all its current right, plus seats in UK Parliament

2019-10-09 16:51:24 UTC  

border problem gone 😛

2019-10-09 16:54:15 UTC  

even better new deal, ROI is gifted the most fissionable parts of the united kingdom and the ashes are given to northern Ireland.
