The loopholes never get closed because the super-rich have no intention of giving them up, and this is true of humanity in general, all over the world, and occurs everywhere that it isn't expressly prevented and constantly enforced. This might be because many of the persons who make up humanity have flexible morality as well.

That, and when they pronounce “tortoise” as “tor-toys”

You're not meant to aspirate an H whatever side of the pond you're on, and not all of us do.

And "taught us" is a description of what a teacher did, not the name of a marine reptile.

@caliente-frio3966

Жыл бұрын

It's more of a stupid thing than a regional thing. I think the biggest cause of this is bad teaching in nurseries and primary schools. Some teachers would go through the alphabet, making the sound each letter makes, like, "T. Tuh, tuh, T. As in T for train." So, with H, they'd go, "H. Huh, huh, haitch. As in haitch for happy." I used to have a (pretty stupid) girlfriend who worked at a nursery, and we would have arguments over this. She insisted that it's haitch because it makes a "huh, huh" sound. I thought it was shocking that she was allowed to teach young children. Well anyway, these children then grow up saying haitch, and they pass it on to their children. Any sensible, educated person in England knows it's aitch. However, some people who _do_ know better still end up saying haitch in an attempt to sound more tough, common or working class. There's a real stigma in England about being too posh or middle class. My brother is a good example of this. He would say aitch normally up until he was about 16, and now he says haitch. Yeah, so I guess there's a sense of peer pressure too; maybe one or two of the cooler/tougher kids at school say haitch, so others start copying them. It's got really bad though. When I started primary school (in 1993), everyone said aitch. I didn't start noticing haitch being said until about five years later, but still, only about 5% of the people would use it. Honestly, it now seems like it's at 50/50 with haitch and aitch. You even get people doing voice-over work (perhaps for an HSBC or H&M commercial), saying haitch on national TV. It's awful. It's definitely not a regional thing. I'm from the southeast of England, one of the least "regional" places in England (the accent here is pretty much the standard English accent you'd hear in films or documentaries), and people still say haitch here. Frank Skinner (the host of this show) is from Birmingham, one of the more "regional" places in England, and he says aitch properly. In fact, you see he does say haitch at first, probably to make the woman feel comfortable, but he then thinks better of himself and goes back aitch. The Scottish man (also with a pretty "regional" accent) says aitch properly too. It really just comes down to the person, rather than where they're from. I have heard that it comes from telephone operators back in the day, having to say haitch because H could be misheard as A, but I don't know if there's any truth to this. I still say it just comes down to people being stupid. Sorry for the long rant, but really hate this. This is something I would be putting in Room 101 too.

Most importantly I should make it clear that I’m an American and an American talking about British tax rules is probably the height of arrogance. However, I’ve been called a very arrogant person so I’m going to live up to that standard. I think Jimmy Carr is wrong or was wrong to cave into the pressures by the government officials who are doing exactly the same thing that he was accused of as being inappropriate. Tax avoidance should be okay if there’s a law that says you can do it. Jimmy Carr should have in my opinion made a public statement that until they change the law that he was going to take every advantage of tax avoidance that he possibly could because all they had to do to correct the situation was to change the tax rules so that everybody paid the same tax. Otherwise, if they are willing to do that then it shows just exactly what kind of lying bastards those government officials truly are. Then Jimmy Carr could have kept the prices for his shows down and he would be a whole lot richer until the government finally admitted that they were greedy wealthy individuals.

The thing is, and its pointed out on his speech here, despite what alot of people think, he is a decent guy. He could have just not payed the tax and carried on not paying taxes, none of what he did is illegal. But it is unethical And that's what he had a problem with. That's why he paid the tax and stoped doing what he did and went out of his way to learn about the topic. For him it isn't about the legality of it. But the morality of it. And that's what he says in his speech, is there is always going to someone else that does what he did and doesn't care about the morality of it. So the law needs to change because those people never will. He saw why what he was doing is wrong but the next 100 people that do it won't. So you need to change the law, because you can't have a system that rewards having poor morals. He has been very out spoken and active in getting the tax law changed the last few years. It does seem like he took it in his stride and learnt from the situation and educated himself on the subject and is now trying to make things better
