Biomass(wood burning pellets) accounts as carbon neutral despite putting all sorts of crap into the atmosphere, because it is deemed renewable, hence attracting huge public subsidies. A nice little earner if you have shares in the company that runs Drax Power Station. Someone will wake up & smell the coffee one day.

Agreed that's why we need to learn from Scandinavia who seem to do a better job of running their countries. They embrace capitalism but tend to have a better welfare system and a more equal society.

The best of both worlds!

That's probably some of the reasons why their nations consistently score highly in the happiest countries on earth.

Same in Germany, where ‘tax’ is not a dirty word; something to avoid, mitigate or evade, but a necessity for the greater good. Different mindset, stemming from a good general education.

As you rightly point out, fairness and equality for all actually makes people happier.

Call me miserable but I’ve never quite got the point of sitting in a theatre while a bloke just stands there doing nothing other than trying to make you laugh. As for political and social commentary comedy! Yuk!!

Cast aside those rose tinted specs with the EU flag emblazoned on the rims Elgers

Here is just one article that tells us German corporates are very adept at tax "mitigation"

German companies are among the world’s leading tax avoiders

(Press Release) The Fresenius case: Health company avoids taxes just like Amazon and Google.
