The OP wasn't just talking about IT - and as someone who knows someone who is a Grade 3 in HMRC and deals directly with Sunak directly, I know for sure TI and NI and considered one tax now (and have done for donkey's years). Regardless - of course people with more money pay more taxes - that's the cost of running a civilised society, but your "pay much more by comparison" is totally wrong - they pay more, but much less proportionately of their disposable income. The whopper who posted the OP stated just about the most ridiculous viewpoint I've ever read online (other than the sh11te Evertonians come out with)...just needed to put him straight. Overall everyone does need to contribute and I totally support addressing Cameron's "120,000" (it's a bit higher than that) families that are feckless and cost all us taxpayers a fortune. Still hasn't happened yet. Anyway let's get back to you're mate.......RKH!

and I forgot to mention that little thing called National Insurance!!!!!!!!!! which every person pays.

Can't believe the ****e i'm reading regarding tax collection - for starters IT only makes 55% of tax take - VAT (which everyone pays) makes up c.25% and CT (which everyone pays by paying companies for their goods/services) makes up 10% and lastly c. 10% on fuel, fags, ale duties which the poor pay proportionately far more than the "1%"....so stop posting such nonsense and get back to RKH!

Oh Pauly - looks like I was right - he's a ramper - end of.

fella - what happened to him?

...in the right direction?

Gders: now you've clarified it - that, in the main, is correct.

Godders: I have defending previously - but you're making a show of yourself now lad. The reason our sp is so low is three-fold. 1. previous poor performance 2. OM potential award not confirmed 3. and by far the most important - no definitive FiD - let alone clear route to production. If 2 & 3 happen - 1 becomes irrelevant and the sp will by many multiples of the present one. T/Os usually happen to fully operational businesses - ridiculous statement by you.

So you think they can get a billion bbl field (that's before we know exactly what Isobel has) - Johnson, and possible $50-100m pay out for....$100m (21p per share)? really....eeeeerrrrrrrrr - no thanks.

North America is a strict geographical term and comprises of Canada/USA/Mexico (most people don't realise Mexico is in that grouping). Latin America is really a cultural (based on language) term and is open for debate.
With regard to this RSN - I suspect she was saying it in broad terms and therefore could or couldn't include Zama.
Someone could ask maybe?

Arfur: would you see them trying to actually TO RKH? I presume if they did - we (RKH) would have to see how big an OM award is. Once any rumour of a TO got out this - SP would be long gone. In some ways I'd be disappointed - but i've waited so long, if the figure was a reasonable one (taking in to account the above) ....I'd be happy.

As someone who was in from the start and will stay til the end - I certainly hope so. Unfortunately - that has been said every New Year for at least the last 3.

you're bonkers....

I understand my fellow LT holders frustration...but surely things are lining up now?

I've always wanted to get to production and the billion+bbls - insane the price put on that 0.01p bbl? Now if we get a goodish award and the new company give the green light and we're at FiD - I'd take a £1 and run.

Isn't it incredible that two years ago this was 40p!!!!!

Am I missing something...or wouldn't be appropriate for a company to enquire to the Arbitrator when a final decision is likely to be made?

QED....

Mike....I realise that, but they are dwarfed by the number of equally qualified people in the field who are in favour. So what route are you advocating to get out of this cycle? please, please assure me you're not going to say herd immunity WITHOUT the support of a vaccine?

QED....
