I would have bet my bottom dollar I'd be conservative or at a push ukip but I've got lib fucking dem.

 

I think it's spending too much time on here with you bedwetting hand wringing yoghurt knitting teacher lovers!

The Mrs just answered and got UKIP after thinking she'd get lib dem.

 

Someone debunk this as bullshit please.

 

You can also use this as a reminder that you have until the 20th of April to register to vote.

Why are folk thinking that it takes a shitload of talent to be an MP?

 

It really doesn't. Tell me what they do that any fecker on here couldn't?

Maybe that's why its a mess Mike

 

If we had a more talanted bunch setting the agenda & policies then we would see better results

Maybe so birch.

 

Maybe the days when they were in it for all the right reasons are long gone

Common sense went out of the window many years ago for reasons of political expediency.

 

Thatcher was the last one who reversed this trend to a point, Bliar took the slow sink into the abyss to a whole new (basement) level.

 

Maybe we need a common sense party?

As long as MPs remain answerable and trying to please the kind of embarassing cretins who think 'austerity' (if you can call the slowed growth in spending that) is not driven by economic reality, you're going to have shit results. Detroit & New York succeeded in voting themselves bankrupt and we're well on the way to the right demographic and psephological mix to manage it too if some of the chumps in this thread are anything to go by.

detroit...

 

if there was ever an example of a bankrupt city...

if you feel Detroit is where we are all going to end up why not get involved join a party and stand for what you believe in

Compared to parts of those enclaves of the UK that our politicians say we should celebrate, it looks relatively green belt!

Or at least put your hands up.

Conservatives cutting Inheritance tax, well done, Dave.

Nah, just promising to. Like they did last election...

Hands up who on here will benefit from that?

surely that's the one thing you don't want to benefit from ?

I don't mind it - think it's a bit of a piss take getting taxed on your life's work - it's a tax on taxable income

 

Don't most rich folk avoid inheritance tax anyway some way or another

Most people are exempt from inheritance tax on homes anyway.

 

Anyhow what exactly is the moral reason that the state has any right to any of the value of a deceased's home or any other asset? Inheritance tax should be abolished altogether.

 

I note the Greens today announced they want higher rate tax payers to now work three days a week for the government.

who said I hadn't?

 

Anyway.. I cant see anywhere ending up as unfortunate as Detroit.. Their issue was the loss of the car industry.. We had similar issues with the coal industry/ship building etc..

Aye.. because its unfair on others... if you take it upon yourself to work hard and get that high up...

They can't abide people getting on

 

They don't understand where money comes from

 

And the politics of envy

I agree they, should just do away with it completely.

A fair slice of any cash  tied up in most affected properties will never have been taxed due to house price growth and the fact that capital gains is not paid on primary residences.

I'm not contemplating inheriting from the poorest 10% that's for sure!

Great move by the Tories!

'mon the Blues!!

From what I gather - most of the folk who have a lump sum / house / property / estate worth handing over to their family have already paid taxes far in excess of what the majority of us mere mortals will ever do for all of their lives and therefore should't be penalised again through inheritance tax. Its a total scam IMO and needs abolishing ASAP.

Yep it does need abolishing.

 

But it illustrates where the Tory's heads are at though if they believe that this is an issue for most folk in the country.
