Limited liability is one of our weird silences. It's a massive free gift society makes to plutocrats, seldom remarked upon, let alone contested.
Shareholders should have to buy limited liability, like any other insurance. The insurers would then be liable. 🧵

Will UK taxpayers get their £122m back from PPE Medpro?
The high court told the company linked to Michelle Mone to pay up over the supply of defective gowns, but there appears no clear route to reclaim the funds

I don't know what your point is.
Are you saying someone earning 2 x min wage can't afford the £8.50?
2 x min wage puts you on around 40K a year ( aged over 21 ).

Correct, not sure how that 1st figure showed up.
The point is, low earners pay less. Those on higher incomes shoulder marginally more of the tax burden.
Surely that makes sense?

In Scotland tax starts at £14876.
In England it's £12570.
So, even though the rates for the higher paid are marginally greater in Scotland, we still have £2306 tax free money that England doesn't have.

Shame it takes a bill like this to make them debate respectfully without baying like cattle.

Yes, pretty much this area.
I've been told that the triangle in front of St Mary's was residential housing, but there's little evidence of it in any sources I can find.

Do you have any info/pictures of the housing block that used to be at the top of Leith Walk?
Pretty much where the roundabout is now?

Important context here:

● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)

● "a big farm" is 217 acres.

Now let's see who's angry:

● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

A message from a REAL farmer who hasn’t been brainwashed by the Tories, wealthy landowners and the right wing media👇🏽

I saw a goal from John McGinn again,
He hit the ball and it flew in again,
Looks like Scotland's gonny win again
Good old John McGinn again, it's it again!!
