The same tired old argument and the same tired old response.

Tax rates are one aspect of the cost of doing business in a country. Labour costs and transport costs are also on the list, both of which the UK are uncompetitive on.

You accept the wisdom of The Great Leader that increasing costs to business through increased corporate taxation has no bearing upon the attractiveness or otherwise of the UK as a place to do business, where even a smidgeon of reason says it must have.

Bank Holidays provides another example of the dangers of taking a single feature of an economy and making comparisons; it's meaningless unless you take into account the typical amount of other leave that employers offer.

Yep, we could retread the same old opinions again, you'll back yours up, I'll back mine up. There are lots of arguments from economists backing both sides up. We'll just have to weight it up through our own personal lens, with the priorities we individually place upon our society and agree to disagree... Boring to do it all again isn't it?
