Uptowngirl Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Is there something in the water in your area. Fortunately I don't drink water. But as our supplies probably come from the same source it would go some way to explain your idiocy. But do feel free to start on the insults if you feel unable to string together a coherent debate.

Stoatwobbler Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Working hard also helps particularly when the government isn't hell bent on taking it all away from you as tax. You mean like 20% VAT???? Can't see the Tories going into the next election promising to reduce VAT if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 You mean like 20% VAT???? Can't see the Tories going into the next election promising to reduce VAT if I'm honest. No but they have said that they would like to reduce the 50% rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 No but they have said that they would like to reduce the 50% rate. Yes in-line with our competitors in the EU and further afield who are lowering their higher rate of tax to lure the best and brightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So only reducing taxes for those who are already filthy rich and ignoring the people who actually need the money. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sccsux Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Interesting that the coalition got more votes than labour who only managed to get in in the first place when the boundaries were changed. That really is one pretty sad attempt to defend your party's poor showing. For the record... There is no coalition party. The GlibDems lost out. Get used to it. The Lib Dems ... are now making a real difference. By failing to win in a vote (against the back drop of lies)? Yep, making a massive difference:rolleyes:. If they wanted to “influence” a policy that was a cornerstone of their election campaign why didn’t they all abstain or better still vote against it, is the idea of a coalition that you have to agree on everything or are the Lib/Dems allowed to retain some of their dwindling identity. 'tis odd, isn't it. The Tories have stated that they will campaign against the Lib Dem policy of AV, yet the Lib Dems didn't campaign against the Tory student tuition fees:confused:.

Or the Tories hold on to their values while the Lib / Dem look on as theirs go sailing down the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its called paying for 13 years of Labour squandering. You seem oblivious to the £1.2 trillion debt that Labour left to be paid. You also seem to have missed the £150 billion annual budget deficit. Just how long do you imagine the country could continue spending £150 billion more than it collects in tax revenue each year? Because when the next general election comes around Labour are going to have to answer that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we already had "the best and brightest", all these high flying, telephone number bonus receiving bankers who keep threatening to leave the country whenever anyone so much as mentions curbing their excesses. "We will bring forward detailed proposals for robust action to tackle unacceptable bonuses in the financial services sector; in developing these proposals, we will ensure they are effective in reducing risk." - Coalition Document, Section 1, page 9. Another broken promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
