economy

How can this country make money when all the profit is being swallowed up by giving thousands of migrants money for doing nothing .Most jobs their doing is cash in hand.

bullshit . the biggest economic catastrophe in this country is the loophole of allowing the rich & big business to send their money out of the country . netflix sends it,s profits out of the country & gets it back as a "loan" from it,s own company office in amsterdam then claim tax relief of that loan . compare that to wot a migrant gets at £49.18 for each person blends into insignificance & i shudder to estimate wot amazon & the rest are getting away with ? .

Migrants get nothing. IMMIGRANTS, on the other hand get a gross figure of much more than £49.18 each. BUT, there are over 1.5 million of them in the UK. Multiply £49.18 a week by 1.5 million and you get £73 million a week. Which is a lot!
Another thing is, whereas the money paid to immigrants belongs to US, Netflix's money belongs to Netflix.

no they dont tonker .

Well your mate Mr Starmer has found a way around that, in that he is now sending anyone with any money in this country abroad, by resurrecting the 'tax exile system' of the 1970s when we were 'the sick mon of Europe' anyone with any money to invest in this country, will be investing it anywhere but Britain, and this 'investment summit' thing they are having today about attracting investment into Britain is a load of crap, in a few months time when folk ask what happened, did it attract any new investment, the answer will be 'no' all it did was give all these rich folk a freebie holiday in Britain, the British government will have sent luxury private planes to transport these 'entrepreneurs' over here, paid for them to stop in the most expensive hotels in London, give them a Royal Box at some West End Show's and all they have to do, is attend a summit and get p*ssed at the British governments expense, and say 'suckers' on their way home, saying I wouldn't invest in that dump of a country, if yoo gave me all the tea in China

ask any farmer who picks his produce 1stroke . it wont be our lot & that,s a fact . tonker netflix was paying tax in this country until they opened netflix international in amstrerdam they now pay no tax here & when they get it back as a loan they claim tax relief of which they have claimed several million from our exchequer . if that,s not bleeding the country dry then i dont know wot is ? . you seem to have forgot johnson,s freebies & cleaverleys too 1stroke & lets not leave your hero farage out of this with his gravy train EU pension & breaking the rules by hiring out his office for commertial profit .

here you are tonker - Asylum support rates are currently set at £49.18 per person per week or £7 a day to cover essential living needs like food, travel, clothing and communications. They are set at £8.86 for those in full board accommodation. Which was reduced in January 2024 from £9.58.

At least they are warm. Who pays their heating bills?

you .

Whups is absolutely right about Netflix.
Previously In Italy, the company was the subject of a criminal investigation involving the tax authorities.
It was also under scrutiny by the UK who investigated their UK tax returns. or lack of them!
Netflix billed all its customers from a company based in Holland and did not declare the income to the UK tax authorities and other European countries.
Amazon is also another one. They do similar, but with a company based in Luxembourg .

they have very short memories on here cheshire cat & 1stroke in particular .

Tommy is a master at getting things wrong His above reply at 14.32 just about sums him up.
He needs to keep up to date with current economic affairs instead of continuously shooting from his lip on subjects he clearly knows nothing about, and continually missing his intended target

A course at night school / college may possibly help to educate him on economics and gain his CSE

I have got 'O' and 'A' Level Economics.

Well done
Its a pity you don't use it

I think big firms and billionaires taking money out and sending it overseas is standard practice for every country on earth. It's something, whether we like it or not, that seems to be a necessary evil.

Perhaps the incentive of giving asylum seekers some money and accomodation etc is the reason why they travel all the way across Europe to the UK instead of being grateful just to be in the nearest safe country which they are supposed to do under International law.

And they all cannot be fleeing from persecution, torture and possible death as they claimed

In the meantime our homeless of no fixed abode, many of whom are ex. service personal have to live on the streets and rely on charities to help them to survive.

Priorities are all wrong and it will go even worse now that we have a government who see them if they are allowed to stay as future voters!

ex service personnal sometimes dont want to live in the real world after going to the middle east or n/ireland . maybe you just want to point the finger todger . wot is it that your afraid they are taking from you ? .

Whups, Asylum Seekers get £49 a week ...... PLUS .......

free accommodation
free council services
free heating
free water
free electricity
free dentist
free prescriptions
free opticians
free school meals for their kids
free clothes for their kids
free legal assistance should they need it
etc.!

rubbish tonker . they hav,nt been processed & cant get ANY of those things you put on & they are still in old wooden ex army barrack in dover . i dont think you,d be putting things like this on if they were spanish tonker .

According to gov.co.uk they can .... and do!

PS: If they were Spanish and came here illegally they'd get nothing, they'd be sent home immediately. That said, the Spanish would have more sense than to come here in the first place!
If I stayed in Spain longer than 90 days I'd get sent home too. If I had no money to support myself, I'd get nothing!

maybe but i,m sure YOU,LL have something to say on their behalf . but that link is only for when they,ve been processed .

Asylum seekers in the UK are generally not eligible for welfare benefits and social housing, and are usually not allowed to work.
