Tory Marriage Tax stuff
Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living! -
Nobody knows. Including the tories. But it will be "something". And Ed Balls is deriding it, so it must be worthwhile. -

Did you reason that out all by yourself, or are you quoting verbatim from the response given by some politician this morning on the news?Originally posted by Tarquin Farquhar View PostHow? Man gets woman pregnant, she has a baby, he runs out on them and marries someone else. He gets the tax relief, she doesn't. Is that moral?
The question is completely irrelevant anyway. It's a MARRIED couples allowance. Not a PARENTS allowance.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
