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.

Fred weve been in your abscence debating wether Maggie should have such a high profile funeral with all that cost £ 10 million plus spent on it.

Big majority here so far against it.

Poor people having to take cuts and Camoron spending money like water.

I say NO NO NO.

As can be seen above the majority are in favour of a state funeral with a only 32% against. It is just the left loonies that are against it.

"...Cant do with racists, they make me sick and are dinosaurs of this earth." Which, based on many of Tanker's posts, includes him....BIG TIME!

I say NO NO NO to spending any money on funeral.

Cameron is the ignorant, putting his own agenda ahead of people. He wants to be respected/remembered when his time come. This will backfire, I believe.

MPs who attend will lose votes next time.

Harry have you got the evidence for this?. This thread has been turned into a thread where you have to give evidence to back up what you say. The right wing loons have brought this in.

How the coalition is repeating Thatcher's biggest mistake: the poll tax


Like the poll tax, the decision to cut council tax support by 10 per cent will force the poorest households to pay the local charge regardless of their income.
By George Eaton Published 10 April 2013 12:22

One of the unambiguous conclusions from the polling carried out since Margaret Thatcher's death is that her biggest mistake was the poll tax. Forty four per cent of those polled by YouGov for today's Sun select it as her greatest failure (more than for any other policy), while a Guardian/ICM survey found that 70 per cent believed it didn't work, compared to just 14 per cent who said it did (again, the worst rating received by any of her policies).

All of which makes it even more surprising that the coalition has chosen to effectively reintroduce it. The decision to cut council tax support by 10 per cent will force many of the poorest households to pay the monthly charge for the first time, regardless of their income. A report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation found that 1.9 million families who do not currently pay council tax will be billed an average of £140 a year, while an additional 150,000 low income families will pay an average of £300 more.

When the poll tax was introduced in 1989, the poor were at least assured that their benefits would rise with prices. But under George Osborne’s plan to uprate working-age benefits by 1 per cent for each of the next three years, rather than in line with inflation, their incomes will be squeezed to an unprecedented degree. Figures from the Institute for Fiscal Studies show that the average working family will lose £165 per year, while the average non-working family will lose £215. Confronted by these losses, which household will willingly pay hundreds of pounds in additional tax? Yet, for the sake of saving just £480m a year, the coalition intends to force councils to chase the poorest through the courts to recoup a charge they cannot afford to pay.

By devolving council tax support (Council Tax Benefit, which 5.9 million households receive, is currently administered by central government) and requiring local authorities to design their own schemes, ministers are hoping to avoid receiving the blame for the tax rises. Their luck may well hold. But more than any other austerity measure, "Poll Tax II" has the potential to cause a mass revolt.

Yes I have. When I get the time I will give you the numbers of all of the posts where he has been particularly vitriolic about immigrants and also about certain posters on these threads who originate from foreign lands and who have different religious backgrounds. Of course you could engage your memory, which seems to have selective loss and I sure you can recall various times where this has happened. In fact I think Tanker has been compared to Alf Garnet in the past on this board!

tyo spend tax payers money is a disgrace
OSBORNE AND CAMERON keep saying we need to reduce costs
to the tax payer and cut benefits they are taking the piss
cameron you are telling lies you should be called liar cameron
as a tory i am disgusted with useing tax payers money
if they want a big funeral then thetorys should pay for her funeral
not the very people she destroyed .

reducing the debt is now lies it is just to cut benefits which i do agree with
but to tell lies is evil cameron the next election the party will be wiped out

CC it is you that are THICK .
thatcher was a racist are you calling bob a liar
ask gumer if she was a racist

Harry.... dont have a go at me bud, dont get clever with me, what do you mean by this....

Of course you could engage your memory, which seems to have selective loss and I sure you can recall various times where this has happened

I will give my views HARRY i want out of the EU i want migrants out and i want all
illegals rounded up and removed and fcuk human rights only criminals use human rights if i vote for a government
I WANT THAT GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL THE COUNTRY NOT THE SHIT FROM THE EU

HOPE THAT HELPS
STOP ALL NHS BENEFITS FOR MIGRANTS AND SEND THEM HOME FOR TREATMENT
IF YOU GO TO SPAIN ON HOLS THE DOCTOR WANTS YOUR CASH OR HE WILL NOT ATTEND TO YOU FACT NOT FICTION
CLOSE OUR BORDERS AND DEPORT ALL THESE PARASITES

I'm a tax payer and I'm very happy to be contributing to this funeral. I didn't support the war in Iraq, but I didn't have a choice about whether or not I wanted £billions spent on that. If we are going to discuss the amount of money squandered by various political parties then bombing Iraq into total rubble most be close to top of the list. Not to mention the waste of lives in the process.

DB just hold on a second. Surely Dennis who was a MULTI milionaire could pay the £10 million???

Wont this government look plonkers if 2 months after the funeral the estate she leaves is way way north of £10 million.

Tanks, round about page 962 you are ranting about this government being 50% gay and therefore completely incompetent and therefore recommending UKIP.

But yes, your post #23318 kinda sums it all up, but that raises an issue, much debated on here, as to who is exactly an immigrant, 'cos many many people have been living here for a long time, but are of mixed race/nationality. (Born in Manchester but from Irish / American parents.......Out? Or is the colour of their skin acceptable?)

db that is your choice as i have said the tory party should pay for it not
labour voters who hated her .
why are these greedy MPs going claim the pay for today that about sums up the tory party grredy grabbing i am all right and fcuk the workers

Right harry has you havent had the decency to reply, NO I am not aware of any such thing from TANKER and rest assured if I did know it would be resolved.

Dont forget I dont just run this thread and the chart attack thread I run threads on 4 other sites aswel which is the main reason why you will see my posts going into the very early hours of the morning and unlike you i contribute and just dont TAKE from B/Boards.

And by the way if you had looked in yesterday youd have seen me laying down the law TWICE.

Now get your head from out of your ass and have a look at the bugs thread run by the manager Ian.

Does it not say in his words I AM CLOSELY MONITORING THIS THREAD.

harry . migrants illegals kick them out
if the boder agency go out at 3am and raid take away restaurants
they will need hundreds of bues
they pay no taxes use others driving licences others n/s numbers
do you want more

Not all Labour voters hated her TANKER. Tony Blair is attending her funeral as a mark of respect.

harry their are far to many people in the uk it is full
the schools are struggling to teach because they can not speak english
the nhs is at breaking point
to want to control immigration is not RACIST just common sense
