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.

Hays who mentioned Mansion tax, I certainly didnt no thats the lib Dems, no instead we will alter the council tax bands and make sure the less well off pay a lot less and the rich a heck of a lot more plus we will bring in new revolutionary taxes on Golf and Tennis clubs , gentlemens clubs the womens institute, public and boarding schools and a new tax on TRUSTS.

No longer will beer be taxed but spirits will have at least a 50% new Gout tax applied to it.

All private medcine, hospitals Doctors and dentists will have a tax placed on them which can be passed down to the customer.

We will also make sure the House of lords is scrapped.

taxing clubs
leave aside that many clubs already pay both VAT and other taxes, what would be the benefit to anyone of driving them out of business?
anyway, i'm sure a rod or football ticket tax would raise infinitely more

stupid boy sticky

No footbal cricket and angling is exempt, being working class sports.

We are also thinking of introducing a golf club license similar to the rod license in angling.

Therefore the less golf clubs you have the less tax you pay and the envoirement grass and that, thrives.

cricket working class?????
dear boy; where have you been hiding all these years
MCC working class - don't think so somehow!
and don't forget that many village cricket clubs are still based on the local squire's land, and of course his butler may well be captain too, his lordship being now too gouty to play :-)

much more effective would be a tax on golf trollies and buggies
that would exempt me for starters, as i always carry!

Thanks for the post 42039.

I didn't know John Kerry is so aggressive in his foreign policies

You have to make allowances for gf. He seem to be having these delusions on a regular basis these days. Just humour him.

Crickets working class here Cyners, dont forget the late Johhny Wardle Yorkshire and England was my uncle.

Played in all schools, certainly not upper class in Yorkshire.

Ahhhhhh just remembered bowling yes bowling thats snobby so we'l bang a few bob tax on that.

Hays your getting more agitated by the day, you know its coming the revolution.

We will reap our revenge...........you can count on that as a certainty.

Manuel,

Get back in the kitchen.

Through all the "rye" humour one area which I think will be visited, if the there is a lib/dem/lab coalition after the G/E, will be tax rules, regulations on trusts and over sea "deposits"!


By the way, what is cricket?

Is it that girls' game where they all dress up in white and think they are doing a day's work!

IMF and Lagarde is right about housing!

Another out of touch unthought out policy for a U-turn.

Set Fred set.

if fred doesn't know what cricket is, sure as hell he'll never have even heard of tennis!

on a more serious note, i would hope that whoever gets into power will revisit sternly - no, not arse-first! - the rules on all sorts of overseas "funnies" ....... trust rules are already highly complex and are changed about every 5 years or so in any case

more interestingly would be whether or not there is not a non-destructive way of imposing corporation or at least withholding tax on income derived in uk ......
an awful lot of countries around the world, and it's growing, impose WHT ..... technically, it becomes just a timing issue, though in practice it's rather more complex to reclaim .....

however, at the very least, it significantly improves the exchequer's cashflow

Manuel,


I knew that would write sense sometime or other.

=======

I played tennis at and for the Priory and also squash for them.

Years and years ago, after playing rugby for The Wanderers and other clubs for a number of years.

But, cricket bored me stiff.

.
Impatience!

monkeys and keyboard old fellow

Even they get it correct sometimes.

Hence my remark!

See the tories are sorting out the National Debt by leaving it to future generations:


http://www.nationaldebtclock.co.uk/

when was it last in balance?
about 1740 at a guess


no, not even then, nor even in 1700, so obviously before that

1693--National debt begins in England .... though not quite sure what that means, as of course kings for centuries before that were always taxing all and sundry to pay for their wars and other sunday jollies

It beggars belief that the BBC think this is acceptable broadcasting;

"BBC criticised for 'obscene' comedy making fun of the murder of Lord Mountbatten

Radio 4 sitcom Blocked triggers complaints after lampooning the death of the Queen's cousin, Lord Lois Mountbatten, on the eve of the Normandy Landings anniversary."

Daily Telegraph

fred may disagree as he may well be an irish national having played for Wanderers
