Now wonder the Tories are smug about the economy, look at what's now included in the figures. http://news.sky.com/story/1344953/drugs-and-prostitutes-boost-economy-by-12-3bn Is there nothing a politician won't do, pulling the wool over our eyes pretending alls good in the world.
recession is over, oh good, does that mean i can get a council house now and stop going to the food bank,
Sorry tom immigrants first, then your dole dossers single parents next. Ooooops nothing left for thr workers ...... Again
that's ridiculous, how can drugs be included in "boosting the economy". Putting recreational habits to one side, they are illegal, people selling them won't be paying taxes on them and the NHS must spend a fortune on helping people who have been screwed over by them.
fats the goverment know they are coming in so they tax everthing that comes through the borders, so even though they don't know which parcel they're in there's tax paid on them, which pushes the price up and is passed down to the user, the last guitar I bought from China was a telecaster, the cost was £50 for the geetar,£20 for the case and £80 for the shipping, total £70 not counting the shipping then I was charged £57 import tax, I complained that they were taxing more than the guitar value, they said," pay it or we ship it back" , rip off Britian,
they don't need to,you've got about 30 days to pay and if you dont pay they send it back, there's no escaping the taxman, EVERYTHING is taxed and plenty of it, start with your income tax and NI comes to about 30% then a further 20% on EVERTHING you buy, so roughlly speaking that's 50% of your money going to the taxman, so the more you earn the more you spend and the more the gov'ment gets, that's how he reckons the econemy situation,
They will do anything to massage the figures! No doubt quite a few MPs have had the odd massage and extra relief
that's a box I have't ticked either, but I'm a great believer in joining the, 'when was the last time you did something for the first time' brigade, but I'll be asking for a 'job on the side' and hopefully she'll work a week in hand like any other new starter,
Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table At which he's fed. Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts Anyway! Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think. Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his ***. Tax all he has Then let him know That you won't be done Till he has no dough. When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore. Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid. When he's gone, Do not relax, It's time to apply The inheritance tax.

And Now they want a blooming Carbon tax Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world... We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class,a huge manufacturing base, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids. What in the Hell happened? Could it be the lying parasitic politicians wasting our money?
And again, again, again. announcements include, freezing benefits so they don't rise faster than wages. Nothing for the poorest. Increasing the personal allowance giving those that earn £12,500 an extra £450 a YEAR. Whoopeefkndoo. Increasing the tax threshold for 40% tax giving those that earn £50,000+ an extra £1500. But hang on, they also benefit from the personal allowance increase, so an extra £450 too. Mmmmmm? Can ya see the rising scale? What a load of trollocks! Mr. HandyAndy - Really
"Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world... We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class,a huge manufacturing base, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids. What in the Hell happened? Could it be the lying parasitic politicians wasting our money?" Hands up everyone who'd like to go back to 100 years ago? Hmm, you in the back with your hand hesitantly going up - you really think you'd have been better off then? Had a large middle class, had we? Well, yep. But we had an even larger working class. Sorry, I don't mean 'working', I mean emaciated, poverty-stricken, workhouse ragamuffins. Destitution beyond our imagination. And TB. No NHS. No antibiotics. No indoor loos. No CH. No GlowWorms. No Fenders or Gibsons. No Zafiras. No... stuff. I'd rather stay where I am, thankyouverymush. As I tell ma wee kiddies, be really really thankful you are alive at this time of human development - it's been a hellish ride up until now, and gawd knows what it'll be like in the future. Pure chance you are here now. It could have been 500, 2,000, 100,000 years ago that you had been born. And, good chance it would have been a very short life. Of hell. Right now, we are bludy, bludy lucky. And don't forget it. Don't believe me? Just go back in your mind, ooh, just 50 years. Or imagine going forward that amount too. I'm happy as a pig in s*** right here.
