All this Budget Speculation 23:28 - Oct 18 with 27514 views

The plan seems to be to raise taxes like IHT and Capital Gains and maybe on Non-Doms etc. whilst changing the rules to borrow more.
There a realistic risk here, if the tax income does not increase as planned, the very rich can work their way around these increases, and if growth is slow then the cost of borrowing increases as bond rates will go up as confidence is lost in the money markets and we will have a slow burn Liz Truss effect.

With all that is happening in the World having some gold makes a lot of sense right now.

There are approx 30,000 UK civil service jobs in Wales, I'd be surprised if we needed 25% of that if we went Indy and we couldn't afford the same pay scales.The head of the UK civil service gets over 200k. Copy and paste sorry...

civilserviceworld.com/professions/article/cabinet-office-reveals-highest-earners-with-hs2-chief-at-top#:~:text=Cabinet%20secretary%20and%20civil%20service,of%20£210%2C000-£214%2C999.

We already have too many politicians in Wales, before we increaseed them, how many civil service jobs will this bunch of spongers employ? We only have a 3.2 million population.

Then will they get the same expense accounts as the Westminster spongers emply?

The Welsh population is 5% of the UK population. The UK civil service is about 500,000. DVLA has about 5000 of them.

If it ended up like for like Wales would need about 5% of those numbers. That's 25,000 civil servants including about 250 in the Welsh equivalent of the DVLA.

If the Senedd in an independent Wales structured the new Welsh civil service similar to the current UK one that is an approximation of the numbers needed.

They may do things differently but based on what we have now that is a simple description of what would happen.

Tha is a simple description of what should happen but I'd bet we ended up with twice the number, or even more.

We have 22 LGA's for pete's sake, when has common sense riled Welsh politics?

The older I get the more I start to think that benevolent dictatorship is the best form of Government.

Would that be absolute espotism OR enlightened absolutism?

Are you a fan of de Maupeou?

I'm really more of a Lee Kuan Yew kinda guy.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

The comments about having 22 local authorities are bang on, why on earth do we need 22 local authorities. It’s mental.
