stlucifer Posted October 19 Report Share Posted October 19 (edited) Dirty red, tory Bassas. Let's get this straight. IF the so called Labour government CHOOSE to freeze tax thresholds, it IS raising taxes on working people. Working, low paid workers WILL pay more tax. If you pay more tax, you've suffered a tax rise. Your tax has risen. No amount of semantics will change that fact. They will have lied in their manifesto.

beyond our ken Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 1 hour ago, shull said: 2nd and 3rd bottom in column 2, Male and female. The approach seems to be parallel to the World Health Orgainsation "Gender interacts with but is different from sex, which refers to the different biological and physiological characteristics of females, males and intersex persons, such as chromosomes, hormones and reproductive organs. Gender and sex are related to but different from gender identity. Gender identity refers to a person’s deeply felt, internal and individual experience of gender, which may or may not correspond to the person’s physiology or designated sex at birth." My view, why do people get so uptight about this? being a "man" or a "woman" doesn't happen at birth. They are references to the state of physical maturity of human males and females. There are misleading notions around being a man in society, such as you are not a man until you have sex or you start drinking, etc. Thanks Shull for flagging up this negative reporting on a wholly reasonable approach.

faraway saint Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 A bit of a mixed bag on yesterday's budget. As usual the normal bickering from other parties about this, that and the other. An increase of over £3 billion to Scotland which, no doubt, won't be enough and will see no improvement for most of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
