OK, a silly thread for a Friday...

Rumour (totally unsubstantiated) doing the rounds in the market but not on the wires yet is that Bin Laden is dead. We are all bright enough to know that this is probably created by a desperate dark corner of the market who will do anything to spice up the market but what if...

how convienient would that be for Blair...

discuss.

bin laden or not, i expect this thread to be pretty potent over the next few days.

The issue i have is that i have seen the other side when living in Singapore and i can tell you that a low tax lower welfare system works because you either get off your backside and work or you will have meagre handouts. It may be a one party system out there but business is allowed to thrive under low tax, top income tax rate is 24% and VAT (GST) is around 4%.

NO, i do not want to go back there if is so much better because i was born and bred in Blighty...i have just seen how things can be run more efficiently.

Give the Conservatives a chance this term and i think we can go up a couple of belts on the world stage, sort out a faster withdrawl from Iraq and also lose that bloody monocle of being the US's lapdog.
