Or, even better, scrap taxation altogether. If the big corporations don't have to pay then why should anyone else. Replace all revenue and income based taxes (and all subsidiary taxes) with a consumption tax. Those that consume the most, pay the most. And tax it at the point of sale so evasion is impossible. No offsets, no refunds. Food and medicines, school books, and Scotch Whisky exempt so the essentials aren't clobbered. Otherwise if you consume, you pay. Big cars, big houses, yachts, expensive restaurants, multiple properties, stock purchases (especially), art,.. want to make people pay according to what they can afford? That's how you do it. Solves the whole problem overnight and is 100% fair because the poorest don't consume nearly as much and therefore will have a lower or non-existent tax bill. Meanwhile, those really driving excessive consumption (while advising others not to because it's bad for the planet) can pony up. I'd be up for it. I don't consume much anyway because unnecessary consumption is a sign of poor character.

That actually doesn't sound too unreasonable
You used to be everything to me
Now you're tired of fighting
Will never happen because it's simple (no loopholes) and fair (targets the right people). If we must have tax at all - which, as we all should know, is a serious criminal offence according to our common law and, if you like that sort of thing, religious doctrine.

Surely though there can be no argument that when she does return to this country, she will be immediately arrested for treason/terrorist offences etc. & will spend the time waiting for her appeal in prison?
On the interviews she gave to sky, she showed no remorse & doesnt appear to think she has done anything wrong. She joined a terrorist state & there should be consequences for that. She is certainly a security risk and it would make a mockery of the system if upon her return she is allowed to remain free pending appeal of her citizenship
Or if she's not sent straight to prison she should be placed under house arrest with the Judge that said she could return it sure would be a blast...
Prison is the best case scenario for her. If she’s allowed into society she’ll be lucky to survive a week without getting her terrorist face caved in.
Well that is a second option.
As with all victims of grooming, I hope she gets the help she deserves.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
