Speaking of tax avoidance "Arch anti-capitalist comedian Russell Brand, who has previously called for an ‘orgy’ of bank bashing in the wake of the financial crisis, will see his next film financed by £1m raised from a group of City-based investors who will benefit from tax breaks through the enterprise investment scheme (EIS)" https://www.accountancylive.com/bank-basher-russell-brand-raises-film-finance-city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I think it's more than a minority who are unhappy with the way things are with regards to politics, not just those who protest. The silent majority are ignored. The protesters are trying to secure change for all of us. Say that again? If it's not a minority, then it's the majority. Which this isn't - by a mile. I'd argue it's the protestors who ignoring the silent majority who may well grumble at immigration or their wait for surgery etc. but are happy to vote for one of the big 3.

Michael_W Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 These activists represent very few of us, they are generally lefty students and socialist worker types who want a bit of anarchy and make a lot of noise, but they don't even compare with those on the continent or elsewhere in the world for wreaking havoc because they are mostly spoilt middle class softies ! The 'working poor' spend their time working not protesting ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of a valid source.......the daily mail?? How did the bank of England start? Lending money to the king who then allowed them to lend his debt in the form of bank notes. If you're going to be picked, even cash is a debt. Read when it says on your tenners. ---------- Post added 07-11-2014 at 16:02 ---------- These activists represent very few of us, they are generally lefty students and socialist worker types who want a bit of anarchy and make a lot of noise, but they don't even compare with those on the continent or elsewhere in the world for wreaking havoc because they are mostly spoilt middle class softies !

Only 7% of the public trusted the government in 2009. I doubt there's been a massive increase today. I'd argue that most want change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me the source if you want me to take you seriously, don't simply bluff, many of your claims of only been half read, we can't trust your corrupt methods anymore! Yes to pay for an armada or army to protect the citizens wasn't it!? But the money is there, not like you claim, just magic'd out of thin air by any old banker.
