Of course you can have excellent services if EVERYONE pays their fair share of income tax! But not everyone is! One can't expect excellent services if you're not contributing enough and the top 10% of earners are already contributing over 60% of the revenue to the tax burden so to see service...

So your civilised society is what? A society perhaps where success is met with punitive taxes while mediocrity is rewarded and subsidised? Civilised Society sounds very much to me like a meaningless left wing political sound bite if I'm honest. Up there with other political sound bites like...

You'll never have a fair and just society as long as the lion's share of taxation is paid by so few! Taking an even bigger share of the better off's income to subsidise the failure of the majority not to pay enough tax is a recipe for disaster. It's little wonder that the wealthy will find...

I chose to work rather than choosing education when I was younger. Poverty didn't hold me back and I've never resented anyone who has done better than me or who is better off! How much money others have simply doesn't cross my mind. Life isn't fair, especially when we look at the money low IQ...

Do you think that if Marxism took hold and wealth was redistributed, that would be the answer? My conclusion is that given the propensity of many people to squander their earnings or waste education opportunities is enormous and I'd argue that within 5 years due to lifestyle choices etc, you'd...

How is low wages, long hours and high rents the fault of the successful?

Since when is Inequality or failing social policies the fault of the successful or the wealthy?

I'm not well off but I believe taxes are too low for what we expect government to provide. Unfortunately most people don't think that way and expect those who are already paying the lion's share of the tax burden to pay even more. That is not my idea of a fair society nor is it remotely fair...

If you want a civilised and fair society, punishing the successful with punitive taxes is not going to change things. EVERYONE and not just the rich have got to pay their fair share of the tax burden. Clearly the vast majority of taxpayers are simply not paying enough in tax and expecting those...

I'm by no means wealthy nor a Tory so here's how I see it. The government is clearly spending more than it's raising in tax revenue which means the country is living above and beyond it's means to pay which is patently obvious judging by the amount of borrowing the government has been doing just...

On a £250 max budget the best machine for value would undoubtedly be the Metabo KGS 254. I've had one since 2016 and it's had really heavy use during parts of that time period and it's still doesn't show any signs of wear. Even after extensive use there is no discernable shaft wear/ blade wobble...

Hence my comments which suggest best not bought for use on a daily basis but for occasional use then I'd very much doubt that the emitted vibrations would carry any lasting health risks.

Let's be honest, if I was going to be using a tool on a daily basis then I'd want the best I could afford or justify spending on. You can't expect cheap tools to fulfil the job of top notch tools in a professional situation but if they're only used occasionally and not subjected to abuse, most...

I'll bow to your superior knowledge as you have obviously studied the subject at length and then when I've time I'll come back and ask you to explain a few facts that need further explanation. I'm sure you will have all the answers but might I suggest you don't rely upon Wikipedia as very often...

Re-read what I've written, I've never excluded anthropogenic origins as a contributor to climatic change, it's the blatant misuse of weak data as that used by Mann et al which infuriates me. I often listen to comments made by so called scientists and half of them talk the proverbial. The average...
