Funny, the share schemes at my work are pretty much identical to the ones you just described. Sharesave and SIP. I hadn't bothered with the sharesave before as the SIP always looked more attractive but the prices were quite low at the start of this year's scheme so I've piled in.

The upcoming general election has nothing to do with manifestos. It is a shoot out:
If you want any brexit, vote blue. Johnson might be advocating a deal but don't be surprised if it ends up no deal. If you want a soft one or to seek to preserve a possible revoke vote tactically.
Personally I want a Lab/Lib coalition. It will be pretty useless generally, but the brexit position will be managed better. Then have a conventional election once something is set in stone. As I see it, Johnson bungling will be much harder to unravel than Corbyn/big tits bungling.

Fair point Eddie who is now a bastard. Jo Swinson would be my choice for a soapy tit wank out of all the party leaders although I suspect she might not have the most experience at it.
That Jennifer Accuri burd just stuck her head above the parapet. Looks like Johnson just gave her the cold shoulder and she's about to put the boot in. She's as much as admitted that they were shagging but will anyone give a fuck? Will the media give him the grilling he deserves? Will they fuck.
I'm old enough to remember when a senior politician who couldn't keep their cock (or fanny, it's 2019 after all) in their pants was considered a security risk as they leave themselves open to all manner of honeytrap/blackmail scenarios. Nobody seems to give a fuck anymore. The cunt's even been recorded conspiring to beat up a journalist and again, zero public fucks given. The fuck have we become?

Lies are now the norm. Johnson is ahead so far. Half the lies he tells arni true.
It wouldn’t happen but imagine the scenario if virtually no cunt voted. Mandate crushed.

I think they are devised by the government as it affects their tax incomes. You still need a bit of luck with these share schemes. In 2005 we were outsourced to another company who didn't have such schemes. In 2008 we had the big shares crash. Being outsourced was bad news, missing out on the share price drop was good news. |

Its got to Trump levels of lying.
The others will soon realise they have to up their bullshit game to keep level. Did you know the Tories banned new onshore windfarms after 2015?

They haven't banned them (unless it's just in England) they've refused them access to the support auctions that offshore get access to. We are currently developing onshore subsidy free projects but they've almost all gone back to planning to request bigger turbines in order to make them viable.
Interestingly, the offshore projects that won the recent auction round have all come in at slightly below the base price (£40-ish per mwh) making offshore wind officially as cheap as fuck. Compare to Hinkley C which has a strike price of £92.50 (index linked) guaranteed for 35 years. It will also be the most expensive thing ever built (on this planet).

Labour's green industrial revolution blurb said the Tories had banned onshore wind. Someone I know circulated it on FB. He is a staunch Labour supporter and stood for as a candidate in the recent local elections. I had a quick google and it returned that Tory voters were complaining about wind farms in the Tory heartland spoiling the landscape. So they removed the subsidies available like you said and changed the planning laws so that locals could have the final say. A recent survey said Tory voters support them.

Aye that's about the size of it and how many wind farms do you see in these areas? Next to fuck all. Planning laws are different between the home nations although access to support mechanisms is controlled by Westminster. I've just come back from Thurso and there are a fuckload of wind farms up there. You've got vast highland estates and very low population so estate owners are raking it in. Then you drive past the crumbling ghost of Dounreay and the beautiful beaches that it has polluted forever having released tens of thousands of highly radioactive particles into the sea over decades of badness. We really have made a rip roaring cunt of our planet. www.theguardian.com/environment/2011/sep/21/scottish-nuclear-leak-clean-up |

Well it did make the manifesto. So did this on page 30: We will end the unfairness that sees
income from wealth taxed at lower rates than income from work. Apparently what that means is they are going to tax dividends at your income tax rate. So if you are taxed at the lowest rate, that means £500 becomes £375 in your pocket. There was a dividend tax free allowance which would end. Anyone got an ISA savings account? The capital gains tax allowance will go as well. As a small time player in the stock market I'm wondering if its going to be worthwhile. The government wants us to plan for our retirement yet they come out with this sort of stuff. |

I'd like to see someone genuinely pledging to go after large scale tax avoidance with more severe penalties for wealthy politicians caught at it.
I'd also like a blow job off Angelina Jolie every morning until I retire and there's frankly more chance of that occurring.
