The government is really hoping that calculator owners don’t take a cursory look at what they could do with all the tax they are not collecting.
After the Commons Public Accounts Committee announced there is £42 billion in outstanding tax debt that the government doesn’t have the resources to collect, a nation of people who only studied maths to 16 have still all arrived at the same obvious conclusion.
Taxpayer Sharon Williams told us, “Hang on, the Office of Budget Responsibility’s own figures said it would cost about £18 billion to give every public sector worker a 10% pay rise, which the government said it couldn’t afford. Fair enough I suppose. Yet the government hasn’t gone after the £42 billion in tax that it’s already owed by businesses and individuals.
“Let me do some quick calculations… yep… then you carry the… yep…okay. Right. Yes, it looks here like we could collect all the tax we are already owed, give all the public sector workers a 10% pay rise, and still have £24 billion left over to give the NHS a 15% budget bump.
“Then again, I only have a GCSE in maths, so what do I know? But I do think that if you can’t afford 18 of something, because someone else owes you 42 of something, the answer is pretty simple.

Sorry-need rather more than a GCSE in Maths. Because Life is more complicated than 42-18.
1. This ignores the cost of collection. In many cases, this is more than the expected Revenue 2. It presumes not only are their suppositions correct, but also that the people will both agree to pay up, and actually have the funds to do so. 3. It also presumes that there are not knock-on effects. As an example, if you force certain industries to pay, they are going to go bust, lay off all their workers, which the taxpayer then has to subsidise

Fair comment. In my defence, I would quote the creator:-
Richard Smith has suggested are intended to mimic the BBC News website.[2] In 2016, he was quoted as saying that "if someone shares one of our stories believing it to be true, then we would see that as both amusing, but also a failure on our part"

Out of all the posters on this forum you would've been way down my list of people who thought the post was 'Real'
Goodness knows, this Government get plenty of things wrong. Nearly as many as the Daily Mail.
But this rule change is essential.
Teachers either strike. Or they do not. What they don't do is hold children and their parents to ransom by refusing to say whether or not they will strike the next day.
Kids-and parents-need to be able to plan the next day. Whether it is seeking a day off to look after their kids, or sorting out appropriate online learning.
If I were a Head Teacher, I would have no issue with teachers who wanted to strike. But ones who selfishly refused to be honest?
this is getting silly now, First it was wanting Bojo gone, then it was wanting Liz Truss gone now its Sunak. If Sunak should be outsted then We can be assured there will be another thread named after the other person wanting them gone.
The fact is this Tory government have utter contempt for anyone but their super rich friends and are stripping this country bare for them and lying all the way.
We dont need a leadership change we need a government change.
I have obviously seen the odds I know the bookies have Labor as strong favourites but we all know come election time the super rich will manipulate the media to villify labor and Conservatives will win again.
and before anyone accuses me of been anti semetic I am from a Jewish background!
no disliking how the media are controlled by the super rich and the whole strucutre is to screw everyone and the planet over for them is not anti semetic. Some people may claim that it is because allegedy the super rich happen to be Jewish families, I really don't know if that is true or not and I really don't care I never had anything to do with all this crud I am jewish I dont hate Jewish people nor should anyone else.
oh Also we are no longer a first world country we are now classed as a second world country or developing nation.
I read that somewhere but now cannot find the source so if someone can would be appreciated but I think they took it down.

Frankly, they have no place teaching children.
