Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Even 40% tax is far too much. Everyone should be on the same rate. Higher earners pay more tax because they earn more. I can't see the reason why the rate should rise with the level of pay. It would be like paying higher VAT on products that cost more.

Instead of looking try thinking.

“Cameron criticises Peter Cruddas for donor boast

Prime Minister David Cameron has denounced the party's former treasurer for boasting that a big enough donation could lead to high-level access.”>
==================================

It strikes me that Cameron as PM and party leader should know what “business” deals his treasurer is doing for him and the party.

If he didn’t know he is culpable of the lack of management skill, stupidity and naivety.

If I was sitting at a table with “strange faces” in a 10 Downing Street Cafe, I would wonder why and how the “visitor” came to be there.

If he did know about the “negotiations” being carried on, for me it smacks of misuse of position and corruption,

In either case I would not consider the barrow boy fit for his job.

PS.

Hays,

However, he may be a present day tory icon.

You know I know and the whole world knows that Cameron either knew what was going or is a feckin idiot Fred.

Take your pick but I don't believe for one minute he's an idiot ... proving he's not an idiot is the key.

May I propose that this thread is renamed "Fred's Thread" - then at least we'll all know what we're in for.

Fred and Stan had their own thread , but they ended up talking to one another.

Alds,

You are rampant this morning.

Another hilarious posting with insight.

=================

What the "revelations" point to is a form of possible corruption right at the top of government.

If the leadership is rotten, so often is the government.


I think to varying degrees the reveal practices have been prevalent through governments throughout history, but Cameron and this government suggested that they would be "clean".

I would hope that they would practice what they preach.

------------------------

One other suggestion is for them and all MPs is to reveal their tax arrangements for the last 5 years.

Workers Revolutionary Party

Leaving the Labour Party, the WRP formed the All Trade Unions Alliance, which it wholly controlled. Among its best known policies was the immediate replacement of the police by a workers militia.[1] The party slowly lost members, but one or two member's still meet up for a pie and a pint in the Birmingham area, and can also be seen posting their class war rambling's on Moneyam .

ps Now renamed The Retired Workers Revolutionary Party of Two .

Alds,

I don't suppose you are taking anti-malarial drugs in Telford!

Nice to see Cameron considering the care of the elderly.

I wonder if there is anything he has forgotten about his fellow diners in the Downing Street Cafe.


I think there was meeting this morning to teach the "troops" the new mantras.

But you would have thought Cameron as a pillar of Moral rectitude would have taken strong action before being exposed in the media for apparent wanderings from the straight and narrow.

Laughable, you couldn’t make a better script for a Jeffrey Archer fairy story.

Just listening to Maude’s statement to the Commons.
Better than a variety show.
-------------
Maudica has just discovered that funding of the political parties needs reforming.

I think he is going to ask somebody in the Cayman Isle for advice.

Another set of promises for a U-turn.

This parliament is becoming a farce.

There seems to be “something rotten in the kingdom of Denmark” comes to mind.

Churchill must be turning in his grave at the ineptitude of the present tory hierarchy.

Even, that old Norman of "get on your bike" fame, thinks the present leadership tory party is "hopeless", or did he use the word "helpless".

But blaming somebody else for one’s own “corrupt actions” because they did it first, is similar to me, as justifying murder because it has been done before.

What a crass method of arguing,

Is it true young tories are flocking to join the Liberal Reform party?

Mind they will have to find where the party hides first.

I not sure why, but my portfolios seem to be doing well at the moment.

Must be due to the overflow of =----= from the HP.

Just listened to Skinner's contribution.
