It pi55es me off when you hear MP's talking about things like this. How we should all pay more tax to help all those below us. OK then why don't these feckers start by only claiming expenses which are exclusively for use as their role as a MP. Apply the same tests to their expenses and the inland revenue applies to mine. Last week there was a story on 5 live about how MP's have put through TV's and Ipods as part of their expenses (that should be we have bought these sleazy ferckers Ipods and TV's as presents for being an MP)

So the Labour Party will now become a charityOriginally posted by Troll View PostWas that the one where they were saying anyone earning over £150k should be compelled to donate to charities? (presumably the charities would be on an approved list.. )
sounded like a tax to me but the clueless presenter didn't have the balls to mention it

Working Class Heroes
I read with interest the Lib Dems comments on Darling's latest back-peddaling over the bungled Non-Domicled affair -
Vince Cable, the Liberal Democrats' Treasury spokesman, said:
"There has been some outrageous special pleading from the City with wildly exaggerated accounts of the damage that would be done by taxing non-domiciled residents. British taxpayers do not understand why they should pay 40 per cent top rate tax, while the super-rich may pay little more than council tax on houses worth tens of millions."
Very Good.
And Why do 'they' fail to understand that Mr Cable ?
Could it be because the electorate - those working class heroes - continue to vote for the likes of yourself Mr Cable - or Mr Darling - and the rest of the pompous ,ineffectual, self - serving politicians with your Tiger Wood golf clubs and dodgy salary schemes spewing utter nonsense ?
There's room at the Top - they're telling you still
But first you must learn to smile as you kill
Keep you doped with religion sex and TV
But you'se still f'ing peasants as far as I can see
