Any business that makes money now, apart from those in food and those selling Chinese pap, is bad!
Banks are bad (which I am out of now for good)
Energy is bad.
Private Landlords are bad.
On another point, I read that Japan is allocating 4% of its GDP to supporting families and encouraging them to have children. This country would sooner spend that amount of money on importing people, which sums up why we are in a mess .

Do you mean the man who people claimed was the Russian plant? He was terrified that the military would remove him from office. The man whose place he took, Hugh Gaitskell the Labour leader, conveniently died unexpectedly after a trip to Moscow!

I do not think they want you back, but the ones who did not start work until in their twenties after attending university and then finding work-life a little too hard for them. A large percentage of workers started work in their twenties and want to retire early!

The one who refuses to answer questions he does not like or can't answer calls others for not responding to its silly outputs.
The one who is anti-wealth but says it invests in banks!
The one who calls Brexiteers idiots while welcoming a possible Scottish break from the UK.
Likes to use the word, Liberal, whilst at the same time insulting anyone whom disagrees with him.

Coutts employee Luke Williams was convicted of passing on customer details to a criminal gang £1.2 million stolen.
Bank of Scotland was fined £45.5 million for not disclosing the fraud undertaken by its staff and consultants to defraud the bank and its customers of £245 million. They did not want the facts out in the open, bad for business.
As you see I do not invent things, if you and others think everyone in banking is a saint, how come there is so much money laundering committed by the banks.

We have one current account for day-to-day bills etc, with the minimum in it to cover everything.
Then we have a savings account for other monies, transactions no cards are used to transfer in or out money by ourselves. Once the money in this account reaches a certain amount the excess is removed by visiting the bank and using a banker's draft, to move any monies into the current account from where it is moved into other secure positions.
If you read my reply to Wondering on, you will see the name of a certain Feezan Choudhary, whom several years past attempted to scam my wife. Called saying he was from Nat West, knew every detail of our joint account, and even knew the name of the local branch manager! He was very convincing but after nearly an hour on the Phone he must have got fed up, he then suggested we contact the bank with a number provided by himself, which was refused. My Wife said that she would nip around to the bank, Mr Choudhary even said he would phone ahead and let them know we were visiting.
On telling the story to the branch manager whose name the scammer knew, he checked a name of a woman the scammer had given us who he said worked in the fraud office, the manager checked her name and she did exist in the Bristol office.
When of course I asked the manager how a person could know so much detail about our account, he could or would not answer. Only sometime later during his trial did the facts come out, he paid NatWest staff for providing names and details, nation wide.

You need help with your research.
1. Feezan Choudhary, stole £ 113 million using bank staff to provide details, I take it £ 113 million to you is not a lot?
2. Bilal Abbas, who worked in the ANTI-FRAUD office of Santander bank, used customer details to steal £90.000.
3. The biggest fraud was by an employee of HSBC who working with a gang stole over £60 million all transferred overseas
There we have three frauds to start you off, as I said the banks keep much of the in-house fraud quiet, happy researching.

A lot of fraud is actually carried out from within our banks by their staff, who pass on information to others.
Of course, banks do not like this to become common knowledge for banks are supposed to be safe and secure.
I have read that we will now require ID to vote in the coming May local elections and of course all elections thereafter of course.
Well prior to mass corruption being imported we did not need this requirement. 1 vote for me and as many as he requires for Mr. Patel and Mohammid down the road.

The failings with Brexit are due to the establishment as I have said prior, of the very same establishment that undertakes the taxation that you complain about below. You and a couple of others on this board ignore what you do not wish to see. If you wish to be fair then every adult in the country would have to have their wealth investigated, believe me, there are plenty who look poor but are not. Then we would have to screen out those that intend never to do anything to help themselves but play the victim. Not everyone has the same ambition and goals in life, which your post implies, so you advocate bringing everyone down to the lowest denominator, which has been tried and does not work.
You know tax loopholes are built in by guess whom, the establishment!
And none of the political parties have ever attempted to close the loopholes in our tax system, do you know why?

And hopefully, when you Scots vote to leave this union it will cost Scotland a lot of money a very large amount of money.
But pray do tell us if we had voted to stay in the EU would the SNP and yourself still want to leave this union?
Voting to leave would make no difference to you silly Little Scotlanders and the one on here who pretends to be a Scot.
