The poverty trap being sold on the pretence of saving the world when all it's doing is saving the 1%.
No escape velocity from the 5% to the 1% when they're targeting off-payrollers.
Our government is doing a lovely job at protecting the people.

The diesel emissions scandal has left us reeling. We've had to think about being kind to the planet and it's thrown scumbag contractors completely. Then Porsche drop its straight 6, 3.4L engine in the Cayman S in favour of a a 2.5L 4-cylinder turbo model. While quicker, it's whinier and far better for the environment. It's like driving a vegan ffs.Last edited by LondonManc; 13 December 2017, 12:59.

To summarise, lots of talk about economy cars, low rates, cheap accountants, cheap property, camper vans and camp sites, in fact cheap everything whilst contracting.
Probably if you delved deeper advice where you could score a cheap lay, with possible "consequences", in Leeds.
woohoo going for Forum Poster of the Year (I mean how much lower can we go).
Everything seems to be about the Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap.
I remember when this site was primarily about exotic foreign climes, tax wheezes, stupidly high rates, private jets, hiring a chopper to take you to the slopes when needed, 1st class air travel at worst, houses in the country with resident hookers, powerful sports cars, drugs and a nanny that was paid enough not to do a "Weinstein".
The only thing I have to remind me of CUK's old days is the Bitcoin threads and MF's creative, although totally made up, Walter Mitty type tales of well moneyed luxury.
Are you really all out there doing it for feck all?
Please tell some tales of luxury you have enjoyed in the past year and prove me wrong
