Wasted on CUKkerts. Who think if a lady is without child one day and prefnant the next, by week 40 she will have 280 babies.....

So why was I paying between 12 and 25% for around three years, going up every month?

What is that funny smell round here? Can anyone decide?

Oh yes. It is Mal's credit rating......

They appear to have conveniently decided not to include NI.

Also (although simpler) didn't mention the loss of things like child benefit.

I think the purpose was to explain how the Income Tax bands work rather a full illustration

Perhaps, but omitting NI which the poster must have known about makes it come across as somewhat dishonest.
NI is simple enough that it should have been included.

Labour tax manifesto

three day weeks, union domination of failing industries and public services strikes. So do not dare to lecture me on the joys of a socialist government. You are quite simply talking out of your arse.

Three day weeks were brought in by the Conservative PM Edward Heath.

It’s really not hard to look this stuff up.

I've also pointed out that the majority of NHS spending is not on patient care, and quite a lot - around 35% - is paying off PFI contracts, which were also let under Blair.

So up yours, dear boy.

Nope again. Extended greatly by Labour, but started under the Conservatives.

And the largest percentage paid by any trust is a little over 16%.

Have you forgotten the 13.8% Employers NI?

Because of the power cuts caused by the striking miners. (Although I do agree Heath was an idiot).

Your problem, regrettably, is you don't know what the f*** you're talking about.

Neither do you. Know what I'm talking about, that is. I didn't say I support Labour. I just welcomed their introducing the general concept of increasing overall tax in order to fund state services. Because of ingrained prejudice like yours, it will take a long time for the populace to get on board. But it has to happen. You can rant on about all the inefficiencies of Health, Education, Infrastructure etc but those are inevitable. Stop whining. If you are in a pub and you want another round it's no use complaining about the prices. Get your wallet out or go thirsty.

Which of course is all the fault of Labour. Anything bad is Labour's fault.

Given the links between the Labour Party and Unions at the time, there's some truth in that.
