would that be 100% above a threshold or 100% on all. i found it odd earlier in the thread here when someone suggested a £1 threshold one of our resident lefties said that's wouldn't be fair. but i reckon if one is in favor of IHT on ideological grounds and to see no one benefit from the...

excise duty usually takes effect at midnight after the budget announced. a penny will be absorbed by the brewery and the publican, i wouldn't expect to see many places drop their price.

yes. if you weren't being so myopic, you'd see i'm advocating that the law should change to address exploitative conditions. is that your response to the question? shame you cant see that there's more to zero hours contracts than political soundbites, no matter what is said about them.
