MS will no longer be supporting or providing Publisher in 365. However if it is on your PC then it is still useable. In time hardware upgrades may make it unusable but that is well in the future.

Wearing of mask should be illegal if they feel strongly about an issue they should be prepared to be known. Protesters in masks are like writers of anonymous letters and their protest carries no weight.

Why pick on Chris Packham? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/08... The Times has mounted an attack on Chris Packham, saying he is not autistic. Why? What do they hope to gain? And is this quite sinister?

Why pick on Chris Packham?

How do people in full time work but min wage and needing UC to survive afford Insurance for social care and also money for pension? While companies are getting rich and tax payers are subsidising wages we will never have an equitable system of social and pension care.

That means the OBR are running the country. If the treasury do not do not come up with a plan that matches the OBR algorithms then the treasury are wrong but could it be the algorithms are skewed to the benefit of the banks

Perhaps clinically vulnerable people should avoid large crowds where the risk to health is high. There are many other ways to protest. Masked protesters incite violence and damage propertybecause they are vandals the Police need to identify them they only bring the protest into disrepute.

So wealth taxes can be gamed and so instead of making sure they cant we go hitting pensioners and those with the least and in the meantime working people on PAYE are the only ones making an honest contribution to the well being of the country.

Is there an undercover media competition that is based on how quickly you can pull down and destroy a PM. Or do our media moguls just keep destroying them until they get one that bows to their whims and greed.

Quite right putting up interest rates will not reduce the price of oil which is the cause of the inflation. But seeing as the banks benefit from any rise they take every opportunity to make a bob or two

You mean they didn’t take enough interest in how the elected government was managing the taxes they paid so they didn’t see the changes in the law. Now they are expecting compensation for their lack of interest.

So 34% is a subsidy to business and industry and housing benefit is paid to those on universal credit so that is an addition subsidy te B& I. If you are suggesting pension cuts consider that pensioners today paid the pensions of previous generations willingly.

Surely the real issue and the reason the ABC resigned was not because of Smyth’s offences or even the failure to handle initial complaints. It is the absolute failure to acknowledge the failures and then take restorative action after Makin and Jay.

Regulations are introduced to protect customers, users, from abuse by companies esp financial/ banks. Usually they are introduced as a result of such abuse. To deregulate is to forget the lessons of history

1. Isnt this rooted in the cost of land? High land costs creates high business costs as a return on capital is fed into business accounts. 2. Finance industry has played a major part in making money available. As a boomer we could only borrow 3 times one salary.

I think you are missing the point being made. In reality govt relies on families and communities supporting those in need and as long as that happens they can turn a blind eye to tax avoidance The rich isolate themselves from such communities.

One purpose of taxation is to stop the rich getting too powerful. They are great believers in redistribution of wealth, but its trickle up not down.

We have traded Polish plumbers for Indian and Nigerian care workers. And European culture for Asian and African culture. Brexiteers wanted a more British Britain and have instead been sold out. That is why the Tories lost.
