    Keir Starmer

    Good grief, do I really have to explain why morals are important? If a law is introduced by a morally bankrupt government it doesn't mean it's right. "Morally people or businesses shouldn't be put in a position in the first place whereby they need to look for legal tax avoidance methods in...

    I have to disagree with you, particularly Cameron with his austerity measures which decimated public services, increased poverty whilst simultaneously making the rich even richer, you can't get more right than that. Or by right do you mean racist?

    If what you say about successful economies is true then why has the gap between the wealthy and poorest in our country grown year upon year? A successful economy in our country never benefits the poor, in fact it puts more scrutiny on them in a negative way. As for companies paying tax, the...

    A sharpening thread :-)

    Japanese waterstones are excellent, struggles??? I've never struggled with one. I'm still trying to work out how a concave or convex stone can be better than a flat one, I guess if a person blathers on about it for long enough they'll convince themselves they're ok.😂

    Why won't they need flattening? All stones wear out, usually in the form of a hollow.

    I agree if you've built houses you have contributed to the nations housing stock, that's obvious.
