its really not much.. i think it was £1bn which as a comparions to our estimated tax receipts this year of 575.5bn is tiny.. but on the other hand we lose a massive competitive advantage by having such a high rate. What your saying is right, giving more money to the rich can be seen as discriminating, but if this means setting up a business and running a business is more attractive in the UK than the US or somewhere else in Europe I think its the right thing to do.

but really its not how it really works... so for example the 50% is only on salary over 150k. Most people who "earn lots" have their own business and so pay corporation tax and dividend tax on anything over certain limits they take out of the company. 50% income tax is not paid by enough people to make it a big tax gain but it puts off the most valuable (subjective) people to an economy - these people are the CEO's, board members who can drive improvement and expand companies bringing with it new jobs. Also the fact that we have a low corporation tax level will hopefully drive more businesses to setup in the UK which in turn will bring revenue (taxed) and new employees (taxed and lower dole payments) so this incentive actually multiplies out into many different tax surpluses for the govt.

i think the problem which as a critic is never mentioned but as a government is a very important point is that you need to make Britain attractive to the entrepreneur and top (board level) management. The reduction of corporation tax and the 5% income tax cut are incentives for this. We are in a world economy and I dont believe its too hard to make the argument that if the UK's relative tax rate is higher than other countries then the UK will be a less attractive proposition. With taxes everyone should pay their fair share of tax although im not sure how you define poor. if its < 10k that will be covered in a couple of years.

Harry Rednapps flight was cancelled!! Has to be a distraction the fact hes in court all day and cant train the team

i can see Mourinho going to Chelsea, was reading about it just now and Abramovich bought him a £2mm Ferrari when he left so they are still on good terms! Or replace Mancini at Man City like he did at Inter a few years ago!!

quality draw, excellent last min save by the united keeper... pure class

its 3-2 now ;)

saw the movie, many say its not as good as the book or the subtitled movie but i thought it was good having not seen either of the aforementioned. The woman although at first glance looks off is very hot! Amazing body

wow reception for Henry was amazing... and then he scores!! Such composure, not sure how he will do for the next 2 months but its a good start

yes its pretty cool :) You can also adjust the size/ background. I made the size smaller so i could fit more along the bottom and when i hover over them it increases the size.

go to Settings >> Clear Cookies and Data should resolve it for iPhone. Generally in a browser on Windows just F5 and it will revert to the none Christmas ones!

many things you can get on a pc which looks like the Mac.... I use ObjectDock for the bottom dock menu which looks identical to the mac!

wow really so bad? Will need to change things if some peoples images are not showing properly!

yes sorry, the banner shows immediately but the background image is part of the css (seperate file which is cached).

completely agree. They should do more of it; make their model far superior and inclusive that people have even less incentive to illegally download to "try" a tune!

it was my first concert ever so not too sure on the time!!! I really enjoyed it though, only note to self is get better seats this time. We had a good view but row X, would have preferred to be in the first 5 rows... Also needed a much better camera with zoom!!!!

it was amazing although she was only on for 90 minutes... Calvin Harris played a 1 hour set which was OK but not what we came for. I paid £300 for 2 tickets as it was last minute on Seatwave. I will post some video up when I get a chance, hopefully tomorrow but maybe on the weekend :D

At the O2 arena, Rihanna on in 5 minutes!!!! Amazing atmosphere!!!!!!

this is excellent news :D
