in scotland they think you're a high earner at £43k. the government and a lot of people genuinely think a £43k salary is “rich”.
between £43k and £50k you pay 50% on every extra pound once you add national insurance. at £75k it's 45% income tax. and between £100k and £125k it's 69.5%.
it's a socialist experiment, funded by the south. you cannot be serious, ambitious and try to thrive in a place like that.
but hey, enjoy your free paracetamol i guess.
If you're a high earner in Scotland wanting to put £100 of petrol in your car:
You need to earn £200, since the gov takes:
48% income tax (£96)
2% NI (£4)
+ your employer pays 15% NI (£30)
On £100 of petrol, there's:
20% VAT (£16.67)
fuel duty at 53.95p/litre (~£31.75)
So you're really getting about £51.58 of petrol, whilst the government gets £178.42
Drive carefully now! 🚗 ⛽

The Scottish Government has questions to answer.
More than 207,000 fallen men and women are listed on the Scottish War Memorial's Roll of Honour.
Yesterday, the country fell silent at 11am to remember those to gave their lives for us.
Also at precisely 11am yesterday, the Scottish Government's X account published a post. Not about Remembrance Sunday, but about a Sikh festival. In fact, that account did not post to mark Remembrance Sunday at all.
Later in the day they also posted about climate change. But still, did not see it necessary to mark one of the most poignant days in our nation's calendar.
Bandi Chorr Divas is, of course, an important date for Sikhs. Indeed, it coinciding with Remembrance Sunday was the perfect opportunity for the Scottish Government to recognise the almost 200,000 Sikhs who were killed or injured fighting in the World Wars alongside allied forces.
They didn't do this. They chose to just ignore Remembrance Sunday altogether.
I have written to the Scottish Government for answers, not least in identifying who is responsible for showing such contempt and disrespect to our armed forces and veterans.

If you speak to victims of these kinds of crimes you realise that it’s not just lifelong impact for them, it ripples outwards & tears apart entire families. Multigenerational destruction. The human cost of this all is incalculable

Bullshit. Disabled men have no more 'right to sex' than anyone else.
"It is often tricky to talk about the sexuality of people with disabilities".
No it isn't. It's no more "tricky" than it is for anyone else.
This idea is trotted out over and over again in the UK; that disabled men should be given sex as part of their care needs. It's often suggested that this should be paid for by the state.
It makes me furious.
Disabled men have no more 'right to sex' than anyone else and I seriously resent anyone saying we do.
Have you ever given any thought to intimacy and sexual assistance for people with disabilities? brusselstimes.com/belgium/23…

The BBC is so obsessed with censoring social media that it reports an attempted murder entirely from the self-justifying perspective of the attacker’s father, with not a word about the victim.

"The timeline here is the real scandal. They originally had cheaper flights booked, but specifically waited until after the Holyrood election to cancel them and upgrade to £17,000 business-class seats.
They knew exactly how bad it would look to the electorate. So they hid the upgrade until the ballot boxes were sealed, and then charged the taxpayer tens of thousands extra for the luxury. Absolute grifters."
EXCL: Scot Gov cancelled cheap World Cup flights for John Swinney and aides after the Holyrood election ... and booked them onto business class, costing taxpayers potentially tens of thousands more. Nice work if you can get it.
