We've gone over this enough. Let's get back to slagging Chris Heck.
All well and good but unless you have top talent running the business you don't make £1Bn profit . So your idea wouldn't work. I'm not a fan of fat cat CEO's but it's the reality of capitalism .
Naked racismMy godYou win as I don't have the energy to even attempt to reply without being equally as personally insulting as you are.

I'm not a fan of fat cat CEO's but it's the reality of capitalism . Let's assume - on sod all evidence - they are ALL top talent. If you don't have a decent state system propped up by taxes, you don't have an educated workforce, security, stability and a lovely place to set your commercial genius free. That's also a reality of capitalism. Although, there is no set reality of capitalism as it's not one size fits all, so we can change our version if we want.I'm not going to accept that the people at the top of these businesses, or who earn/inherit great wealth, are somehow a gift from God, whose rules we must follow and who are individually a necessity. Next, Sawaris, Bob the Builder et al seek to find other ways or locations because they think they should have £3 or £3bn more rather than £2.95 or £2.95bn more. They are as self-entitled and handout-cultured as any family of 26 dole recipients the Express can splash on its front page. Again, they're free to do what they like, but forgive me if I'm not cowering at their threats to leave. There's plenty of other top talent waiting to break into their closed shop.In other news, Heck's tweet about how CL games would have been capped at £50 if it wasn't for Rachel Reeves is a corker.
They're coming over here for the benefits AND taking our jobs. Nothing ever changes.
The Switzerland comment is wrong, whilst the costs there are high so are wages so it largely balances out. On almost any cost of living analysis they come out as one of the best places to live in Europe (along with the nordic countries). The UK is pretty low and well behind most of Western Europe because we've had all the same rising costs but wage inflation has pretty consistently lagged behind for years.
I presume the Top Talent Tim supports is also in full control of the water utilities. Best to check the levels of shit before going for a splash. Still, at least the shareholders are making a different sort of pile out of it.
