Let me set the record straight. I don't support any of them.Originally posted by TheBarCapBoyz View Post
I hated the Thatcher era, and was glad when they got booted out in 97 and Blair got in.
However, I can never forgive Labour for the injustice of BN66 and the way we've been treated. And for that reason alone, I hope we get a Conservative government. No doubt I'll despise them in a few years too.
Isn't the entire capitalist system based on greed?
If the greed/debt fuelled boom of the naughties was still in full swing, Labour would sail to victory.
Personally I live a very frugal lifestyle but, if everyone lived like me, the economy would be totally f****d.Last edited by DonkeyRhubarb; 7 April 2010, 10:24.Comment

It doesn't sound like our usual chaps from Barclays Capital.
I wonder if the account has been "borrowed" by someone else.

We are due a decision from the Court of Appeal by 5th May. (Coincidentally, the day before the general election.)Comment

Certainty of Taxation
Two well-known people came from Kirkcaldy, Adam Smith and Gordon Brown. The former gave us:
"The tax which each individual is bound to pay ought to be certain, and not arbitrary. The time of payment, the manner of payment, the quantity to be paid, ought all to be clear and plain to the contributor, and to every other person. Where it is otherwise, every person subject to the tax is put more or less in the power of the tax-gatherer, who can either aggravate the tax upon any obnoxious contributor, or extort, by the terror of such aggravation, some present or perquisite to himself. The uncertainty of taxation encourages the insolence and favours the corruption of an order of men who are naturally unpopular, even where they are neither insolent nor corrupt. The certainty of what each individual ought to pay is, in taxation, a matter of so great importance that a very considerable degree of inequality, it appears, I believe, from the experience of all nations, is not near so great an evil as a very small degree of uncertainty."
The latter gave us IR35 and BN66.

Winston Churchill
Emigre,
As your signature quotes the great man, I thought you'd like this one from him. Rather apt way to describe HMRC don't you think?
Success is the ability to go from one failure to the next with no loss of enthusiasm!
BTW, it appears that the net worth of the Channel Islands is about 98 billion quid. Can't we sell them to the French and throw in Anglesey for a laugh? That would put a big dent in the national debt.Comment
