Catch of the Day

Rarely am I at a Blipmeet, in fact I really took a lot of coaxing.  However, there she was under the Big Tree.  For it was Weefleckie herself, without her Agent, her liberty boddice and no safety net.  It was overcast so we retired and had an Earl Grey.  After discussing’s Snapper’s camshaft she then mentioned that she thought that Globalisation is potentially rendering nation-state-tax systems ineffective.  She emoted that mobile factors of production, such as capital, can evaded taxation leaving labour forces, and consumers, bearing even higher burdens of taxation.  By this stage I was avoiding eye contact, but she continued by saying conservative political interests , supported by the very corporations that have evaded taxes, then introduce tax revolts on behalf of the immobile citizenry.  I just nodded, something telt me I had to.  I never realised Earl Gray could induce such an effect.  Thankfully she never touched on de facto counter development practices.  I have to admit I nodded off and missed two pages of the script.  But to even things up she drifted off whilst I was telling her about my Bar mitzvah.  We both survived and emerged into the Kirkwall sunshine, I would easy meet her again, albeit even though I couldn’t tempt her to go and do a bit of light shop lifting.
 
Be here in two hours time and the Bothy will be open – there’s a queue forming already.
