STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago...

Actually most of them did exist at least 100 years ago, most of them much longer.

We had absolutely no national debt...

In 1910 the UK national debt as a percentage of GDP was 32.69% In 2009 it was 44.2%

We had the largest middle class in the world...
And Mum stayed home to raise the kids.

We also had rampant poverty in the early 1900's, discrimination based on class and gennder, effective servitude on the land and no automatic right to vote in elections.


By all means complain about the amount of tax you pay but at least base it on fact.

One billion sausages; about two thirds of what Joe Brand eats in a year. Not that big at all.

You would think that, in the interests of due diligence, HMRC would have taken the initiative themselves to conduct a search for treaty claims prior to 2001.

However, even if they had found some which had gone unchallenged, they couldn't apply s.58 because of the 7-year cut-off for opening enquiries.

I believe Counsel are trying to push for more candour in this area.

This should cost Labour a few votes
