Join the new world

Alright me ‘ol mockney chinas. I’ve had a rebrand of this august organ and it has now become LG’s London Evening Standard.

I hope to use my positions both within the London Regional Council and as a London Congressman to post useful info, highlights, snippets and general vents of spleen which are specifically London focused.

The Welcomes Councillor job is to welcome new citizens of the region to the Regional forum and hopefully outline the basics of eRep citizenry to them...

Firstly therefore, please say a big hello to the newest London forum posters:

London Focused articles in the press – dominated this week as you might expect by the forthcoming Congressional elections, but also some movement in the Regional Council.

Finally on a global eUK level, an important debate is ongoing in the Public Discussion pages regarding fundamental changes to the eUK’s Tax System. As some of you are aware, the economy is experiencing a major oversupply of products and arguably too many companies are in the market. The Treasury are proposing a major overhaul of taxes to, ultimately, restrict supply by making it less profitable in the short term for companies to operate – resetting VAT to 1% across the board and raising income taxes http://forums.erepublik.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=22187]CLICK HERE TO READ THE DEBATES AND ADD YOUR OPINION

LG- London’s Good!
