We could use our gold reserves if needed. Oops, Gordo blew a ton of that away for a knock down price.Comment

The "problem" is that the pain isn't being spread around in this recession.
For those in the public sector, it's a boom time. They have low mortgages, inflation is (was) low, they had a reasonable pay deal, there have been no threat of layoffs - and their pensions are safe.
The past 2 years haven't been better in the public sector. They don't understand what all the fuss is about and think that Gordo has saved the world.Comment

I cannot believe that Labour have reduced the Tories lead to 2% - it makes be despair for democracy, I just cannot understand these people.
One reason may be that for people in work, the recession has been quite good, low interest rates, good offers in the shops etc - this will end soon but by then it will be too late Gordon may still be in No.10"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." CiceroComment

HMRC not allowed to read this... Any inspectors please shut your eyes now...

Judge Parker, bless his little cotton socks, said something along the lines
of "Because of Padmore, we should have been able to anticipate the possibility of retrospection."
In other words, BN66 is not really retrospective, presumably retrospection only really being so where the change to the law is unforseeable.
Got me thinking.
Doesn't that mean we deliberately chose to fail to anticipate a possible, indeed probable, retrospective change to the law, i.e., knowingly broke the law, because we knowingly participated in a scheme which we should have aniticipated would become illegal in the future - back-dated to the past.
In which case, can HMRC not do a Redkappp on us, i.e., prosecute us for tax evasion, aka "cheating the public revenue"?
Or was Judge Parker talking out of his jurisprudent arse?Last edited by TheBarCapBoyz; 1 March 2010, 10:48.Comment

Originally posted by poppy01 View PostSeriously, if they win again, the country's had it, the only reason there hasn't been a run on the pound and mass exodus of business and investment from these shores already is what looked a good chance of a Tory victory. also, you can forget there ever being a Tory government again, Nu-labour will make sure of it. We are heading into dangerous waters.
