I'm slightly confused by the tax article. Is it saying that (only) those who earn between 43,000 and 45,000 will be treated differently either side of the border?

[andrewducker]

Yup.

You could call it the tax for living in Scotland, I suppose.

Or just a willingness to pay a reasonable level of tax in order to have the kind of society I want.

Sweet salary humblebrag there! :-D (I assume not intended as such, but a subtle way of doing it regardless!)

[andrewducker]

I...didn't actually think of that. I could have sworn that I posted my salary regularly as a transparency thing that people knew I was (a bit) over the level for higher-rate tax.

Guillermo del Toro Finally Admits Hellboy 3 Is Never Ever Happening

Excellent news - I quite liked the first Hellboy film, but while the 2nd was really pretty, it was also dumb as a bag of hair and also impressively misogynist on multiple fronts, and that never made me optimistic about the 3rd.

Yeah, I really enjoyed the first one but 'it's really very pretty' was basically all I could say about the second one.

I think the owner of my employer might be involved with the paralysis circumvention technology.

I didn't buy my first house until I was 40. It can happen!
