Thrilled to have Qd! And to be announced nice and early! Very good reveal concept tho. It’s fun!

He’s not winning with this as an advert

Good to know it’s not my wifi that being a pain today then

If it is a complex transaction and circumstances then it could be that she’s simply taking a pro-fiscal position and not fighting a judgment from HMRC that interprets the law in a different way to how the advisor did. Happens daily and the optics of her fighting it at a tribunal are far worse than her saying she didn’t pay a full tax liability on a transaction she was advised on. And HMRC it should be noted is not infallible. They’re quite often incorrect in the application of tax law. HMRC vs McVities in the Jaffa Cake VAT tribunal being a rather famous example of HMRC being unable to understand the law. Tax law is complex in ways that the general public really do not even begin to understand. I would assume she’s fallen foul of some CGT rules, quite often the case when second homes are involved especially if she’d previously lived at the address as her primary residence. There’s a reason Tax Consulting is such a big and recession proof industry.

I would assume the three that abstained did so to avoid the optics of voting no to proscribe two neo nazi parties. Theres devolved elections next year, we don’t want to be leaving such an open goal for the unionists to walk through. Plaid are vitally important for shutting Reform out of power in Wales and the Scottish media will use any minor opportunity to cry SNP bad. For all three parties it works out better as they are either in power, have the potential to be or potential to be king makers and no one wants a „tell us about that time you voted against banning a neo nazi party and how that means the public can sleep safely“

Iconic legend!!!! Split into its own topic as it’s more than worthy Defo a good fit. She‘ll finally have the shortest nails in the room. All three have been great Allies but Mutya has put in the WERK during the Sugababes wilderness years by appearing on every stage at pride or a gay bar that’d have her

Sold

Ok but if his chest a lil furry then Rd‘Á may just be tempted to support this worthy cause

Thank god an actual pop song won

I do love me some free rent

Mixed bag still of people who did and didn’t understand the brief but Rob not voting is a catastrophe for the actual Scandipop in this contest.

Sandebörg, now there’s a country I’d love to return

I found Espen in Norway earlier

Yeah I’m hoping there’s vocals too. Might actually get the girls the love they deserve from radio and the locals

They were back in the studio yesterday! Really curious to hear some of the stuff they’ve recorded outwith the Jon Shave sessions. Really curious how, assuming all 6 make the final list, the remaining half fits into it Taller was probably the last time they had so much from a single producer on the album with Dallas Austin

Rd‘Á has voted. For a Scandipop contest there wasn’t much actual ScandiPOP to be found.

Participation numbers have always fluctuated up and down throughout the nearly 18 years of BJSC. It’ll continue to fluctuate regardless of what you do. As others say, people know where we are and we will be here for them when they have time in their busy schedules, or a banger they want to share, or just because they fancy it this month. Rather have people here because they want to participate than feel like its an obligation or chore

Doing my final ranking as a warm up to tomorrows Gabrielle concert

Gurl I have literally won and still can’t crack the top 20. take several seats

i agree. BJSC does have a sweet spot in the 45-55 range where there’s just enough folks to run a pair of reasonably sized semis and then have a final that’s not too wild in size. It makes listen throughs and the final results shorter and so works better for peoples schedules. And after a certain point it starts to feel more like a chore than someone you do for fun because you have so many songs to listen to and rank. On a site that barely strings together 50 active users a week I think we’re doing just grand

They said they have music ready to drop for us but the gap from weeds to Shook was a good couple of months

Nothing has more holding power than the Scottish cringe Can we go back to when Scotland had more pandas than tories. Those were the days

In a year of tragic rebrands I thought my work would have the shittest of the year (it’s so f***ing orange, the shittest of our current brand palate other than the yellow which is EYs colour anyway) But then comes this abomination to save the firms blushes
