Re: Why badges?

WRONG.. the cars which could nothing are not BMW's etc.. for those you have to front a payment.

the only cost free cars are small ones.

Re: Safeguards? Pff, what an old-fashioned notion

As a blue badge holder(War veteran with screwed knees and back), badges are no longer tied to a single license plate but to the person.

The blue badges here have a photo of the badge holder on them and the badge holder must be in the car when the badge is used/presented.

I have seen people totally at it myself.

It's hard enough for people to get awarded the blue badge these days... for those who have never had to go through the massive amounts of bullshit to get them it IS very fucking annoying to see blatant bullshitters or the family or friends of a blue badge holder using them without the badge holder present.

So GOOD is all I can say top this regulation to be honest

Re: Will it work?

Make your UK business a franchise or subsidiary

set up your main office/hq in Amsterdam.

it sell/supplies e products for sale to your business exclusively at really high rates.

these must be sold at rates that technically wipe out profits.

other shenanigans and chicanery applies

the double Dutch certainly does exist still.

Re: Will it work?

"

Will it work?

I would be interested to see what these tax arrangements are. Off-shore structures generally only work when the owner is non-resident, or non-domiciled and doesn't need to bring the money back into the UK for living expenses."

As an individual you may be right but a company.. that's different

step one have a business.

step two -A set up an office in Amsterdam as your eu head office

step two-B set up an office in Dublin as your EU HQ

Step three.. benefit from pulling a Double Dutch or Double Irish like Amazon etc

step 4 ?????

step 5 PROFIT

you don't have to be offshore.. your business HQ does

step three

Re: Interesting interpretation of the source that......

"Funny how a tiddly proto-nation with tiny oil reserve"

Erm.. Scotland has the largest oil reserves in Europe(with just North Sea oil)... it's not just in the North Sea either.

There is oil and gas off the West coast and the claim at Rockall too.

;)

Re: @Rampant Spaniel

SNP MP's do not vote on matters that are purely to do with English affairs as a point of principla and that's their answer to the West Lothian Question Tam Dalyell asked.

The same cannot be said of Labour, the tories or the lib-dems

Re: If they say yes...

"You do know one of the worst offenders was a Scottish bank, as was one of the lesser ones?

erm.. They haven't been Scottish except ijn name and where the HQ building are for quite some time..

The Rpoyal bank of Scotland is owned by KLLoyds TSB and the Bank of Scotland is HBOS.. H for Halifax.

Also as for the bailouts... here's the thing....

For example Barclays with registered offices in anerica benefited GREATLY from US bailouts... why? it was based there as were RBOS,HBOS and others.

The companies try to compartmentalise by having an LLC in each country it operates in..

Thus RBOS and HBOS both having companies registered and trading in London would have got bailouts just the same.

which means that in Scotland the bailouts would have been affordable to the Scottish govt

Re: If they say yes...

"Equally, also worth bearing in mind that just because the vote may be in favour of leaving the Union that doesn't mean it will happen."

yes it does.. The Edinburgh Agreement and The Scottish referendum act say differently

Re: Interesting interpretation of the source that......

LOL... i think you got that the wrong way round.. the no campaign are all threats ,scare tactics and basically FUD

Re: If prices go up, we'll know who to blame.

um... I think you'll fidn that they get EU money for infracstucture expansion and the coverage, even out in the sticks isn't bad at all.

In fact 45 millions in EU money was given by BT to get fast broadband out into the sticks and Edinburgh city council gave them another 1.5 millions to hasten the deployment of fibre in the city.

if you think these companies always pay out of their own pocket you are living in a dreamworld.

Re: If prices go up, we'll know who to blame.

"Yes, the rUK, French and Spanish will all block the Scottish application for EU membership."

that's simply not true and you KNOW it

Re: If prices go up, we'll know who to blame.

Annihilator

again i call bullshit

"Yes - NHS policy and funding is already devolved to the Scottish government who are actually cutting funding there, but funnily enough the Yes camp are keeping that bit quiet by pretending they don't have control of the NHS"

The funding has gone up in real terms and the only problem foreseen with NHS funding is with a no vote as due to the Barnett fomrula when the NHS in england cuts funding the Barnett consequentials kick in and Scotland gets less funding.

BTW Scotlands pays in much more to the UK than it gets out.. we are not subsidised at all.

Re: Royal Mail??

RainForestGuppy

i call bullshit on you.

The plan is to renationalise the Scottish postal serviced and ENSHRINE the universal service obligation

Re: This would be the same BT...

Maffski.. there's a 300 page(i think) white paper published by the Scottish govt on exactly that..

try researching a bit more

Re: As a Scotsman

<blockquote>If I were a Scot, I'd be ashamed my country ever let this get so bad.</blockquote>

LOL are you serious? WESTMINSTER let it get this bad and that's an undeniable fact.

Mind you to be fair it's getting better since the SNP got in and that's another fact.

We have free education, free prescriptions, free healthcare and all the while the English and Welsh NHS march ever onwards towards privatisation.... vigrin Healthcare are making a fucking packet out of it.

Saying that the SNP are a one issue party with no interest in anything outside their cuntry... i am afraid you are getting mixed up buddy.

There's a difference between CIVIC nationalism and ethnic nationalism.. the SNP is the former

To quote a famous Socialist who latterly came to the SNP Jimmy Reid. "to be a good nationalist , first you must be a good internationalist"

Re: duh

The 18 months between the vote and the proposed date of independence in March 2016 is when any EU negotiations will take place ;)

Re: You know all this talk of things being more expensive

you'll fidn that it was Delia Smith... you know the english lady who does the books and TV cooking stuff that came up with that idea in the 70's bud..lol

Re: If they say yes...

The goalposts were changed in the 79 referendum. The change meant that there needed to be a 40% turnout, which btw is a damned site higher than most general elections!

That referendum was for devolution, not independence.

This time round it's too close to call at the moment.

I am definitely in the YES camp and stuff like this .. ie more costs is a load of bullshit... the reason???

The plan is to LOWER corporate tax to below the UK's current level as an incentive to bring business here so why would it be more expensive if their costs are lowered?

It's purely a case of London-centric business getting involved and trying to bully the electorate with more FEAR FEAR FEAR... that has been the staple of the NO campaign.

Re: I cant wait

BTW I am reading for my Masters in Scottish history at the University of Edinburgh.. so yeah i love history and not made up nonsense from sources like a blog :)

Re: Devolution

Actually you'll find that it was in 1979 that the Scots decided they wanted their own assembly however some anus in Westminster changed the rules in an early day motion to make it so that if people didn't turn out to vote... like the recently dead for example... that those non votes were ruled to be np votes.

The EU then pressured the Westminster govt about self determination and "regional assemblies" and the Blair govt presented it like it was all their idea.. which it wasn't.

If you want to blame anyone about the cost of the building... which the people of /Scotland were also very pissed off about ... then how about you blame the labour run procurement procedures at the time whereby all the contracts went to their pals in construction.

And ask Labour why they never put penalty clauses in it for lateness or a penalty for moving the goal posts on costs..... Also have a look into what board members have heavy labour connections via membership or being donors.. that'll give you the answer :)

Re: I cant wait

as they say in Scotland..... you talk pish...

there has always been the "too wee, too poor, too stupid" coming from the no camp.

and they are ALWAYS trying to spread FUD... it's their stock and trade. The FUD is an attempt to scare the "don't knows" into being a no vote.

Re: I cant wait

sorry .. but you are wrong, which is why you post as AC.... just a troll. international law and maritime law are against you on this :)
