Good thinking, cause what we really need is an unopposed Tory government led by Osborne. That'll get the country back on it's feet and support the powerhouse small businesses that keep the UK afloat.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply..... -

And it will be fun seeing friends of Corbyn meet one another, Hamas meeting Stonewall would be amusingOriginally posted by Waldorf View PostWhen Corbyn gets in it will be a laugh watching Labour tear itself apart and watching interviews of them trying to defend crazy policies.Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

Its hardly a tax loophole to be able to offset legitimate expenses against tax. When I worked in London my monthly expenses easily ran to £2k a month. Hotels and travel are not cheap. Without being able to offset that against tax, there is no point looking for work that isn't an easy day commute. It hardly bodes well for a flexible workforce.Originally posted by fullyautomatix View PostWhy ? So they close some loopholes that wealthy IT contractors were utilising to pay less tax and suddenly they are way worse ?Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Forget X factor, big brother, I'm a celeb - PMQ's are going to be the only reality worth watching soon.

Cameron signals he would drop Syria airstrikes vote if Corbyn is Labour leader | Politics | The GuardianDavid Cameron has indicated he will abandon plans to extend military airstrikes against Islamic State (Isis) targets from Iraq to Syria if Jeremy Corbyn is elected leader of the Labour party.
In a sign of how the leftwinger could have an impact on Britain’s foreign policy, even as opposition leader, the prime minister said that he would only hold a parliamentary vote on the strikes if there is “genuine consensus”.
Speaking in Madrid, the prime minister said: “I would only proceed going further on this issue if there is genuine consensus in the United Kingdom about it before going back to parliament.” The frontrunner for the Labour leadership is opposed to the current airstrikes against Isis targets in Iraq and to extending them to Syria.
