Short term. The issue is going to be how to drill and inspect the water. While garrenteeing no earth organic contamination.
Untill folks are 100% sure no life at all exists. Any other considerationvwill be on hold.
And proving a negative is going to take ages before folks are happy.
Benifits come from central government.
Amd there are very few council owned houses left. Most social housing is run by privrate housing associations. Basically privrate landlords that place propertys on council bidding lists. Bidding being about how many point you have. Points allocated by need and how long you have been on the list.
Basically a slightly cheaper landlord. Tories already raised social rents to 80% of privrate rent. So its hard to see where affordable comes in now.
The only real advantage is many privrate landlords refuse housing benefit. This went up hugely under tories. As landlords found to many tenets were missing payments due to sanctions.
The associations themselves. Some are awful a few are great. But they are basically privrate companies with restrictions on how they accept tenants. IE you must be on the local housing list and have the points to win the bidding process. This means its hard to avoid companies that have bad reputations.
silvery trail of evidence of tax avoidance.
There web site is the trail. It openly states that the purpose is to remove bisness rates from empty commercial property.
As the law means property used for farming is 0 rated.
They are not to bothered about slimy trails because tax avoidemce is legal.
Just seems to be the first time someone has come up with this implementation.
The question is. How quickly the local auth comes up with a way to claim it dose not meet planninf perposes or some such.
Ibdont. My brother dose.
So im going to give meshroom a try with my android phone.
If that dont work ill get my brother to come up to the boat.
In the UK it is not a crime to avoid tax. Nor most places.
The fact the tittle says its a.probe for avoidebce. Is the question im asking.
Evation is a crime.
Definition wise Avoidence is what every britt with a IRA style savings account is doing.
This company is claiming openly and legally that running a snail farm is a way to avoid paying local buisness rates. As they do not apply to farming.
My comment about morals was based on the comment claiming it not being profitable is evidence. There is no crime in running an unprofitable company. And theor are many moral reasons to do so.
The reson for this is identified in the article. And is def avoidence.
Ill also add. While I have no sympathy for commercial landlords. The companies are in danger atm as UK high streets are not able to rent property.
Buisness rates are not based on profit. They are based on the building.
If a company has loads of empty not earning buildings. At a time where they are not renting or selling well(at all)
Its really not imoral for that comany to look at ways to reduce fuxed costs.
Can't help but wonder why there is a probe. Tax avoidance is perfectly legal.
And honestly, running a negative profit company is not really an effective solution. It's basically giving money away, so avoiding tax by not having any money.
Unless the person has some personal interest in snails. And in that case. Cool for him that has no moral issue. Non-profit companies are a common way of funding a charitable(ish) venture and perfectly legal.
It is more likely to be an evasion/criminal activity probe. IE, snails ain't what he is really selling.
While this is a deffinate plus if it happens.
They have sorta ruined it by canceling the plans to reopen rail stations.
I live near a town that had its sration closed in Beeching(sp?) Cuts of the 60s.
Like all of the small towns in oxfordshire it is expanding hugly with about 40k new houses built in the area.
These sort of towns have real issues they are to far to cycle to major work sites. Buses will not take bikes. (Of course)
Ive actually cycled there a few times from a slightly larger town 10miles away. The roads are fing dangerouse so cycle tracks would be cool. (Assuming its more then a white line)
But the distance is only doable by fairly fit folks and still leaves the issue of showers needed at work. Rare to non existant for lower earning jobs.
This town was expecting the tory fund (post HS2 cut) to reactivate the station. As were many others in this situ around the nation.
Added to improoved cycle tracks at local cities etc. And the fact the rail link would need major work after almost 70years. Would mean it would be perfect for electification. And allow many workers to train followed by cycle ebike etc etc.
That is how we seriosly reduce car usage.
Busses can be a impracticle in these towns. Its better then some as in it has regular busses. But like most oxen small towns. They go all over the place and take hours to get many places. Are unrelaiable due to small roads and lots of traffic during rush hour
Meaning you tend to need to add an hour or more to have any likely hood of getting their on time.
Honestly. Cycle etc is a fantastic idea to reduce car use and CO2.
But without huge investments in public transport used to match the use of these routes.
Wow tjeubare cheap now.
Ill gove that a try
Ive used it alot. But far feom expertly
But not seen that. Likely cos I have never looked :)
Ill have a look at it. Thanks.
Wtf. The whole idea they can pissibly be eligable is insane.
They should be fighing to stay in tge buisness at all. Not worying about a fucking ranking.
Because some users are putting that data on Linux. So they want Linux to be killed.
They can't change grub. But they sure as hell can convince micro$org to search for and nuke it.
Of course no idea if this happened. Just answering why they would might want to.
