"So, you'll be wanting taxes increased. then?"
Why? Also my understanding of the 70% is that there are no deductions and its the grand total.
"Then, as the guy said, you are the PROBLEM with the UK also."
The UK is pushing against the laffer curve.
"There is something appalling about a government who have asked our health service professionals to slave their guts out during a global pandemic"
Eh? The NHS is the bureaucracy that just so happens to contain hard working health professionals. A number who are retiring due to being taxed for working. We were so short of professionals that those wanting to come back gave up because they needed stupid diversity training to give vaccinations. The army had to step in to get supplies where they were needed because the NHS screwed up. PHE dropped the ball terribly.
But more to the point we have a huge economic hit again with great reductions in private earnings (the thing taxed to pay for the health service) and yet the health workers want a pay rise? I assume they will lobby for a cut at some point?
"We could EASILY afford it."
By increasing our deficit already balooning to support closing the economy?
"We'd have to increase tax on the wealthy (and I include myself in that)"
No need. Just send your cheque to HMRC.
"God knows the average nurse can't."
Nor unemployed, on furlough and other governmentally screwed people.
