United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

We should tax the accountants out of existence as well.
Make it more profitable to work for United Republic Inland Revenue.
Make the accountants personally liable for defrauding the state. All of the little deductions like a work van, or home office/physio room start to add up. Small fry for individuals if they get caught, but you multiply it by an accountants entire set of customers' accounts...
Does anyone know what happened to Jimmy Carr's accountant btw?
Majority of them will be operating within the law, and advising their clients to do legal things.
Two things are needed: massively ramped up enforcement and reform of the law.
They might want to introduce an exit tax before bringing in wealth taxes, and to tax unrealised gains by taking a % of shares (or whatever).
Are you suggesting that accountants are deliberately doing something illegal? Or is it more the case that the state has deliberately shitty loop hole hiding laws?
