    Fair point.

    Do you think a GB government will ban washing on the grounds that: -

    a) cleanliness encourages toryism

    b) it's environmentally friendly to smell

    c) it's better for security as the police can smell the poor and disgruntled

    d) sales of cologne will increase, thus boosting the economy

    Have your say!

    No of course not! Who could be richer than T (piss be upon him).

    I don't have a heated swimming pool for my stable of polo ponies, whereas Threaded has several, customised, all-year-round-heated lakes!

    Make you sick, doesn't it?

    Shurely not...

    Actually this only works if you are really rich AND donate "cash for favours" to "new" liebour.

    Labour has always argued the move removed a distortion in the tax system which encouraged companies to pay out their profits in dividends, rather than reinvest them.

    There you go then. It was all in the interests of fairness and stopping disgusting middle class shareholders from profiteering in their investment in companies thus depriving schools and hospitals of much needed revenue. The bastards.

    It'll be nice if he gets nailed for it, but that's not too likely to happen.
