Boris's 'Greed is Good' speech


Recommended Posts

They pay 30% of all income tax, which is a different matter from all tax.

 

So who do you think pays the most VAT? Would that be someone who has a disposable income of £15 per year and eats at McDonalds once a month or someone with a disposable income of £3,000,000 and dines at Claridges every lunchtime?

It' be interesting to see what proportion of total tax they pay though.. I would think it's quite a high percentage...

 

And who puts the biggest load on the welfare state? Would that be someone who uses the NHS and sends his kids to state schools, or someone who uses private medicine in Harley Street and sends his kids to Eton, despite paying NI for both?

I must remember to doff my cap the next time I see one.

He should join UKIP, they favour academic selection for schools.

 

He'd rather get elected.

Boris also said success is related to IQ. Stating the bleeding obvious really.

 

IQ, inherited wealth and privilege, old boys brigade, masonic links, old school tie and other facets of an equal chance for all.

... the loans were created for pc reasons....

 

The loans were created by banks lending as much as they could to maximise profits.

Anyone who can afford to send his kids to Eton and use Harley Street probably doesn't merit much sympathy for his lot in life.

You haven't heard his speech. Or chosen to ignore it to make mischief. His suggestion was that we need to bring selection back into schools so that the poor clever children had as much chance in life as the wealthy. It is the opposite of what you are spinning

You're a wind up merchant Ron, you're quite good as well but you're not fooling me.
