European, Londoner, ex scientist, current desk slave. Like reading, movies, comedy, being informed by others bcs I’m a bit lazy - so hit me with art, photography, politics, news, law, jokes…..food…
Many judges, lawyers, surgeons etc fall into this cohort
Prolly be of general help if they didnt have a disincentive to put in more hours….

And on a separate note. You’re far better off shacking up with someone & you both limit earnings to £50k - save 40 % on earning £100k on your tod & reduce stress, improve quality of life….

I disagree with Paul, below. I know a lot of people choosing not to work more In this bracket. Because you can’t just work a little more, you have to work a shitload more to get clear of the 60%. Not worth it… and that hammers productivity

It’s more that the absurd marginal rate of tax between £100k and £120k encourages those people to work less, or retire early, or not get promoted. We should *want* these people to be more productive, earn more, pay more tax…

At first glance I thought that was lady Di in the red blanket…

All of this would be dealt with if they got on with assessing claims promptly. Some people have been here 9 years or more awaiting asylum decisions. That isn’t fair on anyone, the tax payers paying for their subsistence (however meagre) or on those awaiting a decision.

They make noise tho
Never underestimate how much men like things that make a noise
And sometimes a leaf blower doesn’t cut it

Oh gawd
Well, that’s my evening unproductive, I’m not supposed to trawl houses.…
But the positive is that this selection makes me very happy with mine
and the camaraderie of realising there are others like me 😊
