The rate of income tax is 20% of the net adjusted profits. WHT rates are between 5% and 20%. Zakat is charged on the company’s Zakat base at 2.5%. Zakat base represents the net worth of the entity as calculated for Zakat purposes.21 Jun 2022
So Zakat — the middle, Third Pillar, of the Five supports the Prophet Muhammad, God’s blessings and peace be upon him, said Islam is built on — is unique among the obligations of belief. It welds worship to the transactional, the moral to the material, the individual to the communal, and the economic to the societal.
Notably, God specifically identifies Zakat as fundamental to all real religion. He says of all the peoples to whom He ever revealed the Scripture:

Channel Crisis: Can People Smugglers be Stopped?
Panorama, BBC One, 26th September
The programme states that Rwanda only has the capacity to hold a couple of hundred asylum seekers, which is the current capacity of the site so far identified.
We would like to make clear that the Rwandan government has said it had additional accommodation sites available and that it has the capacity to take in as many migrants as required.
Who actually want’s to stop them? Seems to me that whilst the Government cannot be seen to condemn the process, they actually agree to import more. Probably taking baksheesh.
As Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the financial times, says: ‘The desirability of sizeable immigration is a matter more of values than of economics. It is not a choice between wealth and poverty, but of the sort of country one desires to inhabit.’
Here’s something I thought about with regard to the current efforts of the medical profession/BBC and all the rest of the Marxists to convince young children to destroy their lives and change sex. As a corollary of these efforts, it occurred to me that the Marxists could in effect, ‘kill two birds with one stone’ by combining two Marxist principal goals:
1. That of changing sex and,
2. Work to psychologically convince white children that they were actually born black.
We know about the former, but the latter would lend credence to, and help advertisers / BBC convince the public that the population consists of 75/80% black people not the 3/3.5% statistically.
“The Public paying the BBC TV Tax under threat of prison Alice laughed: “There’s no use trying,” they she said; “one can’t believe impossible things.”

The biggest sound problem is the panel bits.

Next prog about future societies “can live without gods”
Don’t want to alarm anyone but on my drive into Hull this afternoon, I saw quite a lot of military vehicles (just landrovers and stuff) heading to the ferry port.
Normally I wouldn’t be bothered, but I noticed that all of the vehicles – despite being very old models – were pristine.
When I did my time in the RAF, we had 2 sets of vehicles. The well-used stuff for normal duties and exercises and a fleet of brand new vehicles which were only to be used for actual deployment.
Now I see Russia have done exactly what everyone expected and immediately Biden has made a provocative, confrontational comment.
Ironically I was listening to an old Wogan radio show this morning where the news had Obama making a speech about Cuba and how the days of the USA interfering in global matters were over.
I am convinced the Democrats want this war. I hope we can get past the November elections before it starts so we will know just how much the people support them.
These were definitely military. They had the plates and the people driving them were in uniform. Also some were towing the kind of trailers we had. And all were kitted out identically including a big stub attachement on the front for an antenna.
I saw some going the other way (out of hull) on my way out which is why it pricked my interest when I saw others heading for the ferry.
I saw about 10-15 identical landrovers plus some trucks and they were travelling in the same direction as me so I only saw the ones I overtook. There must have been a lot more.
Not hugely interested in the economics. How about the Tories strive to be the most conservative right-wing major party in the developed world instead? You know: support for family, faith, nation, tradition, that sort of stuff?
“We get complaints equally from both sides
so we’ve got it about right”
say deluded BBC execs
..who are also lying through their teeth
cos the vast majority of complaints I see are complaints and about lefty bias.
What’s on the y axis or does that not indicate any values?
The other chart is below… data used is ‘values’, which suggests self-administered answers.
Colour me sceptical about the FT and Chapel Hill (who?) doing qualitative research, even though they’ve used nice colours.
From the FT this morning. The Tories are now the most right-wing ruling party in the developed world and are completely out of step even with their own voters https://t.co/rkPAbJzOcEpic.twitter.com/uBoxC7d6H3

Unless the survey was designed at Woodstock in 1969?
It’s winter here. the wind and rain are pounding down
well drizzling
but ITV local news last night had the weather presenter insisting that the entirity of England is still in drought
a claim I find laughable
There were brownish patches on short grass for about a week two months ago.
A drought isn’t defined as having a less rain than a normally rainy month
“No, Winston”, replied O’Brien in his calm, collected voice. “You see scorching heat and drought. Only if you accept what the Party says, and commit to saving the planet and paying more to energy companies, can you be free.”
taffman, GDP numbers always get adjusted. Even good old Steffie Flanders (great to hear her on TWatO this week) got egg on her face years ago, as did Pesto, for forgetting ‘adjustment time’. GDP is a bit of a ‘damp finger in the wind’ measure of economic activity anyway.
Much better guide are unemployment figures. Ours are still worryingly close to 1.3 million. Despite the ‘Boom’ and ‘continual growth’ of the Blair/Brown years, they never got unemployment much below 1.3 million. My concern is that that is the new natural floor for unemployment in the UK. When I was at school it was 350,000 to 400,000 and even then a third of that number were considered to be ‘workshy’ and choosing ‘to live on the dole’.
pug, politically, ie. tactically, it was bad: the Tories have decided they have lost the next election. It was also a triumph of hope over reality and experience. Governments cannot create growth. Blair and Brown did not create the growth of 1997-2006, it happened despite them, including the blip in the “iBoom” when things went a bit pear shaped in the Far East around 2000/2001.
Finally, it was dogmatic budget. Tory dogma is that high taxes are bad + high taxes on high earners are bad. That might have been true at the end of the 1940s and into the early 1950s. But it is not true for the UK economy from the late 1960s onwards. Thatcher and Howe discovered that after their disastrous 1979 Budget. Low taxes on low earners drive the UK economy now.
The Tories could regain ground if they secured our borders and deported all the invading criminals ! We have had years of threats and broken promises .

“Black and Asian infected blood victims feel let down, inquiry told” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63091395
Is this report stirring things up ? is it divisive?
That is another truly appaling ’empathy’ article with a clear ‘all BAMES are innocent’ and ‘all whites are racists’ agenda.
Look how they simply dismiss this:
Mr Ahmad disputes a medical document shown to the inquiry which states his infection occurred before he came to the UK, and that it was not clear how he was infected.
Much of the rest is pure, irrelevant empathy which the BBC use to put you on the ‘victim’s side such as:
“At one point they said if you see any blood on your clothes, you must take them out and burn them or throw them away,” he said.
Mr Ahmad broke down in tears while giving evidence, adding: “Within the family it was very hard and my wife didn’t want me to go near the kids.”
And then we get to the reason:
‘When he applied for financial support from the infected blood support scheme …’
Anyone who has spent time in any of these countries knows they lie more easily than they tell the truth to get money. But the BBC lefty idiots cannot help themselves but to put victims on a plinth in their endless desire to demonstrate just how morally superior they are to everyone else.

Putin’s words are much more important than unity with four new political subjects: it is a fundamental declaration of war against the modern West and the modern world in general. This is the manifesto of Tradition. I cannot imagine the depth of the consequences of this. Just as in the Old Testament David threw a slingshot at the giant Goliath, so it is today. It was an eschatological, religious discourse.
The News Quiz Radio 4 6.30pm repeated tomorrow at 12.30pm .
Don’t bother if you want to hear anything funny . It was as dire as all other BBC so called comedies.
For example this was said as though original and funny :
They’re like Robin Hood in reverse .
Are you laughing , side splitting on the floor helpless with laughter saying please please no more I’m gasping for air ?
Here’s something funnier than that :
The reverse of Robin Hood is Dooh Nibor . I made that one up but even I don’t think it’s funny but it’s better and more original than the BBCs effort .
So the scores for the News Quiz are ;
Labour propaganda — 35
Jibes at Torres —19
Smugness—68
Predictability—100
Offensiveness to ordinary people —3
Jokes against old folk —4
Normal BBC bias —56
Humour —0

They have no morales or scruples about how low they will stoop. It’s exactly the same as fake news. And they are mannah from heaven for the BBC as the accountability buck for honesty is once again passed to someone else – exactly as they do with Twatter.
I lost any respect for Getty the instant I saw their mission statement used a capital B for ‘Black’ everywhere.
Stew, what is wrong with the stats? The BBC has changed the presentation. It makes meaningful comparison difficult if not impossible. You must know that.
“The BBC has changed the presentation. It makes meaningful comparison difficult if not impossible. You must know that.”
Free Covid testing for the public ended on 1 April. Regular asymptomatic testing stopped four weeks ago. Thats why the presentation has changed – You must know that?

MaxiC. earlier you called someone a bigot. Does it really matter what they are ? does it make you feel better for calling someone a bigot or racist ?
If I was called names I would shrug my shoulders tbh, as its all a bit “playground”, and if my views differed from yours then tough – your problem not mine. Sometimes there are occasions when the term realist is substituted for racist because the name callers can’t accept the truth.
Jesus H Christ maxi – WTF has that picture got to do with a Pakistani man trying to claim money from the British taxpayer through lies ?.
You are one weird troll. I suspect that’s one of your ‘special’ pictures and you posted it by mistake while you are high on whatever you take to stop your anxiety in the low swing.
I would normally feel sorry for someone like you but I can’t because you are such an unpleasant, spiteful hypocrite. Which of course is why you are a bottom-feeding troll.
Thinking aloud. The Labour Party has always depended on the Conservatives making f-ups to take any sort of power as they have no electoral credit with their own agenda.
So they adopt the mantle of saviours of the population when the nasty Tories screw up.
This is a sort of negative acceptance, in other words the lesser of two evils.
It has bedevilled the Labour Party for decades. They really need to get a new PR agency who will provide them with a positive message but I can’t see this happening because they keep going to activist angry stupid supporters for their message. Most people are suspicious about this sort of meddling they just want a just and happy life.
Basically Joe public does not want to be told what to do by a bunch of bitter acedemics, students or rich faux-Marxist twats.
Truss has agreed to attend the first meeting of Macron’s suggested European Political Community with suggestions that it is to the called a political forum
Brexit to be reversed, does she want us back in?
Already suggested that London holds the next meeting.
When the leadership race started, I read that it would be rigged to put Remainer Truss against Sunak in the final to guarantee Truss would win.
People who turn their coat as quickly as Truss and Javid simply cannot be trusted not to do it again when it suits them. Now Truss is not sucking up to Boris for her advancement, she is sucking up to the Remainer establishment. This is a very bad sign of what they are telling her to do.
This is what happens when a party in a democracy betrays the people who elected it. It falls apart. Now we might have to endure a few years under Labour to teach the British public a lesson once again.
It’s no conincidence that since the Leftists gained so much power through news and social-media, the world has gradually fallen apart and is now in a far, far worse state than every before in my lifetime. They have not only divided the world, they have also divided the people in the countries they infest. They will destroy it if they are not stopped.

“In other words:
The poorest in society need to make do with less
So that the wealthy few can have more thru tax cuts.
That’s quite the message to go into an election with”
That’s not impartial or truthful
The wealthy are NOT uniformly better off
and the poorest have just had a whole range of energy payments eg for being a pensioner, for being disabled etc

Channel Crisis: Can People Smugglers be Stopped?
Panorama, BBC One, 26th September
The programme states that Rwanda only has the capacity to hold a couple of hundred asylum seekers, which is the current capacity of the site so far identified.
We would like to make clear that the Rwandan government has said it had additional accommodation sites available and that it has the capacity to take in as many migrants as required.

As Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the financial times, says: ‘The desirability of sizeable immigration is a matter more of values than of economics. It is not a choice between wealth and poverty, but of the sort of country one desires to inhabit.’

Here’s something I thought about with regard to the current efforts of the medical profession/BBC and all the rest of the Marxists to convince young children to destroy their lives and change sex. As a corollary of these efforts, it occurred to me that the Marxists could in effect, ‘kill two birds with one stone’ by combining two Marxist principal goals:
1. That of changing sex and,
2. Work to psychologically convince white children that they were actually born black.
We know about the former, but the latter would lend credence to, and help advertisers / BBC convince the public that the population consists of 75/80% black people not the 3/3.5% statistically.
There that would fix another problem…………..

Don’t want to alarm anyone but on my drive into Hull this afternoon, I saw quite a lot of military vehicles (just landrovers and stuff) heading to the ferry port.
Normally I wouldn’t be bothered, but I noticed that all of the vehicles – despite being very old models – were pristine.
When I did my time in the RAF, we had 2 sets of vehicles. The well-used stuff for normal duties and exercises and a fleet of brand new vehicles which were only to be used for actual deployment.
Now I see Russia have done exactly what everyone expected and immediately Biden has made a provocative, confrontational comment.
Ironically I was listening to an old Wogan radio show this morning where the news had Obama making a speech about Cuba and how the days of the USA interfering in global matters were over.
I am convinced the Democrats want this war. I hope we can get past the November elections before it starts so we will know just how much the people support them.

These were definitely military. They had the plates and the people driving them were in uniform. Also some were towing the kind of trailers we had. And all were kitted out identically including a big stub attachement on the front for an antenna.
I saw some going the other way (out of hull) on my way out which is why it pricked my interest when I saw others heading for the ferry.
I saw about 10-15 identical landrovers plus some trucks and they were travelling in the same direction as me so I only saw the ones I overtook. There must have been a lot more.

taffman, GDP numbers always get adjusted. Even good old Steffie Flanders (great to hear her on TWatO this week) got egg on her face years ago, as did Pesto, for forgetting ‘adjustment time’. GDP is a bit of a ‘damp finger in the wind’ measure of economic activity anyway.
Much better guide are unemployment figures. Ours are still worryingly close to 1.3 million. Despite the ‘Boom’ and ‘continual growth’ of the Blair/Brown years, they never got unemployment much below 1.3 million. My concern is that that is the new natural floor for unemployment in the UK. When I was at school it was 350,000 to 400,000 and even then a third of that number were considered to be ‘workshy’ and choosing ‘to live on the dole’.

0.2% growth isn’t much to shout about really is it now
5 likes
pug, politically, ie. tactically, it was bad: the Tories have decided they have lost the next election. It was also a triumph of hope over reality and experience. Governments cannot create growth. Blair and Brown did not create the growth of 1997-2006, it happened despite them, including the blip in the “iBoom” when things went a bit pear shaped in the Far East around 2000/2001.
Finally, it was dogmatic budget. Tory dogma is that high taxes are bad + high taxes on high earners are bad. That might have been true at the end of the 1940s and into the early 1950s. But it is not true for the UK economy from the late 1960s onwards. Thatcher and Howe discovered that after their disastrous 1979 Budget. Low taxes on low earners drive the UK economy now.

That is another truly appaling ’empathy’ article with a clear ‘all BAMES are innocent’ and ‘all whites are racists’ agenda.
Look how they simply dismiss this:
Mr Ahmad disputes a medical document shown to the inquiry which states his infection occurred before he came to the UK, and that it was not clear how he was infected.
Much of the rest is pure, irrelevant empathy which the BBC use to put you on the ‘victim’s side such as:
“At one point they said if you see any blood on your clothes, you must take them out and burn them or throw them away,” he said.
Mr Ahmad broke down in tears while giving evidence, adding: “Within the family it was very hard and my wife didn’t want me to go near the kids.”
And then we get to the reason:
‘When he applied for financial support from the infected blood support scheme …’
Anyone who has spent time in any of these countries knows they lie more easily than they tell the truth to get money. But the BBC lefty idiots cannot help themselves but to put victims on a plinth in their endless desire to demonstrate just how morally superior they are to everyone else.
Here’s the author:

The News Quiz Radio 4 6.30pm repeated tomorrow at 12.30pm .
Don’t bother if you want to hear anything funny . It was as dire as all other BBC so called comedies.
For example this was said as though original and funny :
They’re like Robin Hood in reverse .
Are you laughing , side splitting on the floor helpless with laughter saying please please no more I’m gasping for air ?
Here’s something funnier than that :
The reverse of Robin Hood is Dooh Nibor . I made that one up but even I don’t think it’s funny but it’s better and more original than the BBCs effort .
So the scores for the News Quiz are ;
Labour propaganda — 35
Jibes at Torres —19
Smugness—68
Predictability—100
Offensiveness to ordinary people —3
Jokes against old folk —4
Normal BBC bias —56
Humour —0
The waste of electricity making that programme should be accounted for in future energy needs .

Thinking aloud. The Labour Party has always depended on the Conservatives making f-ups to take any sort of power as they have no electoral credit with their own agenda.
So they adopt the mantle of saviours of the population when the nasty Tories screw up.
This is a sort of negative acceptance, in other words the lesser of two evils.
It has bedevilled the Labour Party for decades. They really need to get a new PR agency who will provide them with a positive message but I can’t see this happening because they keep going to activist angry stupid supporters for their message. Most people are suspicious about this sort of meddling they just want a just and happy life.
Basically Joe public does not want to be told what to do by a bunch of bitter acedemics, students or rich faux-Marxist twats.

When the leadership race started, I read that it would be rigged to put Remainer Truss against Sunak in the final to guarantee Truss would win.
People who turn their coat as quickly as Truss and Javid simply cannot be trusted not to do it again when it suits them. Now Truss is not sucking up to Boris for her advancement, she is sucking up to the Remainer establishment. This is a very bad sign of what they are telling her to do.
This is what happens when a party in a democracy betrays the people who elected it. It falls apart. Now we might have to endure a few years under Labour to teach the British public a lesson once again.
It’s no conincidence that since the Leftists gained so much power through news and social-media, the world has gradually fallen apart and is now in a far, far worse state than every before in my lifetime. They have not only divided the world, they have also divided the people in the countries they infest. They will destroy it if they are not stopped.
