Caught a bit of Newsnight last night (I know, when other time would I have) and they had that Paul Mason fellow on (previously economic news editor I think) and he was on about how the government should reduce business taxes and take initiative down that road to encourage more business in the UK while it's at risk of fleeing abroad.
So sounds like there are others with a similar ideas of making the UK more attractive for business that are closer to government than we are.
Zero corp tax for next two years sounds better than QE 250 billion, if it all comes down to increasing debt to support the economy one way or another during these uncertain times.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

It's all peanuts when you consider (according to wikipedia) they only receive around 40 billion a year via corp tax.
Just print it instead of chasing the small money. Then all those HMRC employees can be restructured into FTC burger flippers. Win win.
We'll pay it via VAT and the other taxes by spending it in the economy instead of giving directly to the government. They get it all in the end.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
